FAQ

Ghost suffered from delusions where she was unable to separate reality from her own imagination. She might have seen her grandmother (who may have been reprimanding Ghost for her actions) as an enemy and burned her.

Most likely, it could be a sort of courtship offering for Brigette in attempt to mate with her.

It is never clearly stated how many days have passed. It is winter, and the first film ended on Halloween, October 31st. Therefore, at least several weeks to a month have passed. The film's DVD commentary speculates that "maybe probably six months" have passed. However, that would set the film in May, which is clearly not the case. Deducing from Brigitte's time log of her healing rate and the fact that she has not aged much, it cannot be more than two or three months, with the film probably being set in December or January.

It is miraculous considering how dense Alice, her co-workers, and the police are in the film. When Brigitte asks Alice if they found Jeremy's body, Alice shrugs it off and suggests that she was just having delusions as a result from her PTSD. The blood on her face was told by Alice to be from Brigitte's injuries from injecting herself with syringes. No police investigation appeared to have been launched, and it is peculiar why Brigitte was not brought in for questioning at the police, nor why no one might have thought Brigitte might have been the run-away girl from Bailey Downs. The lack of concern is an extension of the apathy theme from the first film, where everyone at the clinic seems lackluster at their jobs and do not take the patients' concerns seriously.

This is an allusion to Ghost eventually releasing Brigittewolf (Brigitte when she fully transforms into a werewolf) out into the world to "vanquish her enemies." In the world of Ginger Snaps, werewolves exist, but it is taken as fiction by most everyone. When Ghost plans on killing her enemies and people who have "wronged" her, she intends to use Brigittewolf to correct her enemies' "wrong" morals for mistreating her. Also, it is assumed that werewolves must live for a long time or are immortal, connecting to her using "moral" instead of "mortal" terror.

Brigitte might have had to resort to petty theft (stealing of cash and low value items) to acquire funds. As lycanthropy continues its process, Brigitte might have had heightened senses to detect threats, causing her to be more careful while acquiring funds. She does not seem to have taken any part time jobs or engaged in selling illegal items. Also, it seems that she does not have contact with anyone for help, and it does not seem that she has access to her family's bank account.

Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed is based on a script by screenwriter Megan Martin. It is a sequel to Ginger Snaps (2000) (2000). A third Ginger Snaps film, Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004) (2004), was made as a prequel.

Those who have seen all three movies recommend that you see the first movie, Ginger Snaps (2000), before watching this movie. Ginger Snaps tells how Ginger was made a werewolf and also details her and Brigitte's search for a cure.

His identity is unknown. All Brigitte (Emily Perkins) knows is that it's a male and it wants to mate with her. Some viewers have suggested that it was Jason (Jesse Moss) from Ginger Snaps (2000) (2000) but the commentary on the DVD denies this. A common theory is that the werewolf is Sam from the first movie. Although he is presumed to be dead, this is never confirmed. Since Ginger bit him, he could easily have been cursed himself and healed from his injuries. Sam also spent a large part of the first movie looking for Brigitte specifically. If this werewolf is to be identified with Sam, this would explain why he was trying to find her in particular. Another theory is that there are other werewolves in and around Bailey Downs, and this one was attracted to Brigitte like a male dog follows the scent of a female dog in heat.

Monkshood (Aconitum lycotonum). Brigitte and Sam developed it in Ginger Snaps as a cure for Lycanthropy, but it only slows down the transformation rather than cures it. Consequently, Brigitte has to keep injecting herself with it.

Because monkshood is poison, Brigitte was suffering from a condition called toxic shock syndrome. Essentially, she had too much poison in her system and, in spite of her healing abilities, her body was having an adverse reaction. After she passed out, she was sent to a rehab hospital because the police assumed that she was a drug addict.

In the DVD commentary, she is referred to as being 13 years old. Tatiana Maslany was actually 19 years old at the time she played Ghost. She was chosen to play the role because she was shorter than Emily Perkins and had a look of innocence. To make her look even younger and more innocent, Tatiana had her naturally dark hair dyed blonde and her teeth fitted with braces.

Brigitte and Ghost escape from the drug rehab clinic and go to Ghost's grandmother's house to hide out from the werewolf that is trying to mate with Brigitte. The transformation is coming upon her faster and faster, but without a hypodermic needle, she is unable to get the monkshood into her bloodstream. Ghost calls Tyler (Eric Johnson) and asks him to bring them some needles. Tyler injects Brigitte, but she has a strong reaction to the monkshood. Tyler panics and calls Alice (Janet Kidder) at the clinic. When Brigitte next sees Ghost, she is huddled in the attic and claims that Tyler raped her. Angry at Tyler for hurting Ghost, Brigitte asks him to put more gas in the generator. While he is outside, Brigitte locks the door and Tyler is attacked by the werewolf, who has tracked Brigitte down again. Brigitte and Ghost build a trap in the cellar, using the springs of a mattress to hold a variety of spikes, horns, and other sharp objects. They hear a noise and fear the werewolf is breaking into the house, but it's just Alice come to take Ghost back to the clinic. Brigitte notices a sign on the wall that reads, "Don't smoke or I might croak," and realizes that Ghost's grandmother was a nonsmoker and couldn't have been burned from a fire that started because she was smoking in bed, the story that Ghost made up. She confronts Ghost who admits to also making up the story about Tyler raping her. She simply wanted to get rid of him because she was afraid that he was going to take Brigitte away from her.

The werewolf suddenly breaks into the house. Ghost and Alice take refuge in the attic while Brigitte lures the werewolf away. As he is nuzzling her, Brigitte stabs him and then repeatedly bashes him with a curling stone until he goes limp. As Brigitte is checking him to see whether he's dead, he revives and lunges at her. Both of them go tumbling into the cellar. When Alice bends over to look, Ghost bashes her head with a hammer, and Alice tumbles into the cellar, too. Almost completely transformed, Brigitte pleads with Ghost to kill her, but Ghost simply closes the door, locking Brigitte in the cellar. In the final scene, Ghost is in the attic working on a drawing that depicts herself as a fierce warrior with a pet werewolf whom she is going to get to kill everyone she doesn't like, beginning with her grandmother who is soon to be coming home from the hospital.
