10 Most Underrated 2000s Horror Movies

10. Ginger Snaps

A werewolf film like you've never seen before, Ginger Snaps is the story of two sisters obsessed with all things morbid, Ginger and Brigitte: together forever as outcasts from society whilst they take pictures of each other pretending to be dead. Girls just wanna have fun- oh wait sorry, funerals, after all.

Their sisterhood begins to be threatened, however, when elder sister Ginger gets her period and is attacked by a strange monster in the dead of night, sparking a change in the girl that requires Brigitte to investigate. The fake blood turns real, and the pretend deaths get too close to home, resulting in a rollercoaster ride of a movie that isn't afraid to get a little bit hairy. And I mean that quite literally.

Ginger Snaps is one of those special movies that is more than just entertainment, providing an allegory for puberty and an exploration of womanhood in a way that bubbles ferociously under the surface. It might've been more recognised in the years since it's release, but Ginger Snaps deserves far more recognition for its clever imagery than it's had over the years. It's should just be a plain classic - no cult about it.
