''Ginger Snaps'' is a 2000 Canadian teen horror film which uses lycanthropy as a metaphor for female puberty. The story revolves around the sullen and morbid Fitzgerald sisters, Brigitte and Ginger, outcasts at their high school, with no friends besides each other. The close bond between the sisters is put in danger after Ginger gets attacked and bitten by a strange beast in the woods. Soon following the incident, radical changes start happening in her body and behavior. Her parents and teachers brush it off as her finally starting her journey into adulthood, but Brigitte knows something far more sinister is going on.

Bridgette follows and finds Ginger covered in blood. She (and the audience) fears the worst, and asks “Where is he?”, to which Ginger responds, “Next door.” Upon looking over the fence, we learn that Jason is fine.

This requires a comparison to a person of color who doesn't get such attention.

* ComingOfAgeStory: More for Brigitte than for Ginger. The film juxtaposes both of them growing up as teens while having to deal with Ginger's lycanthropy (and her normal development, as she gets her period at the same time, which ties into this since both are controlled by the moon). Brigitte has to become very much a young woman, finding the way to cure Ginger but then when that doesn't work at last [[spoiler:stabbing her to death in self-defense]].

Added DiffLines:
* PsychosexualHorror: Brigitte and Ginger's lives are changed after Ginger is bitten by a werewolf and infected with the werewolf curse. Everyone brushes off Ginger's strange new behavior as a result of her simply "becoming a woman" but in reality, it was something far sinister. The film uses a werewolf curse and lycanthropy as a metaphor for puberty and female menstruation. Not to mention the curse can be passed through unprotected sex and not just by being bitten.

Added DiffLines:
* DecoyProtagonist: For the first half of the film there's more focus on Ginger, the title of the film relates to her, and she's the one who becomes a werewolf. Halfway through though, as Ginger becomes more antagonistic, her sister Brigitte essentially takes over as the film's true "hero".
