10 Creepy Horror Movies Set In A Hospital
4. Ginger Snaps: Unleashed (2004)
Picking up and undetermined amount of time later, 2004's Ginger Snaps: Unleashed follows Emily Perkins' Brigette as she is confined to a drug treatment center. The formula she needs to prevent her transformation into a werewolf is confiscated and a hungry beast prowls the surrounding woods intent on mating with her.
Unleashed is quite the ballsy and interesting little film as it dares to tell its story despite having killed the titular sister in the previous entry. It is a credit to actress Emily Perkins and her talent as an actress that the story focus shifting to Brigette works.
Feeling much more bleak than the previous entry, Ginger Snaps: Unleashed draws us in with some charismatic supporting characters, in particular Tatiana Maslany as the wonderfully eccentric Ghost.
The hospital setting keeps the werewolf action to a minimum for the majority of the film, however Perkins' incredible and heartbreaking performance keeps us enthralled as we see her body transform.
Although this sequel comes to life in its third act, with werewolf fights and bites aplenty, it lacks the atmosphere and the sense of claustrophobia the eerie old hospital provided.
However, for the most part, Unleashed takes the previous film's metaphor of lycanthropy representing puberty and change and expertly spins it into a warning about drug dependence and its consequences.
