Some people. But it's okay; they'll be dead soon.

Oh, I hated the ending of this movie.
So, they wanted to give Brigitte a fate worse than Ginger's? That's not horror. They didn't have to top GS1 that particular way.
Brigitte's fate was already much worse. At the end of GS1, she lost everything. She had to stab her sister, and best friend, after infecting herself to save her. Her one friend besides Ginger dies. By GS2, the monkshood didn't work and she is already screwed. She's lonely, solitary, constantly sick from the effects of the monkshood. She is alienated from her parents, and she has lived like this for TWO YEARS. Ginger didn't go through any of that.
Brigitte lost in the first movie. I didn't want to watch her lose in the second.
I liked the beginning of the movie, and the story concept was mind-blowing, but from the middle on? Sorry, it was poor. The ending was bad.
I was so disappointed with this movie, I wrote a whole different script based on the story concept, just to prove to myself I knew it could be done better. I'm just about done with it.
BTW, I hated Ghost. To me, the character never really belonged in the plot.

I crabbed out there. I don't wish to detract from anyone enjoying it. Liking it or not is a matter of taste. But I am curious: what felt right about it?

I didn't like the movie at first. I felt like a bunch of ideas they got , were all laid out and made to fit. Brigitte living alone, Brigitte in rehab (but I think they wanted it to be a mental home) Brigitte escaping and running from the law, Brigitte having her last stand with the were-wolf. Seemed too cut and paste at first glance. But after a second viewing, I got a very different feeling. It had a very lonely feel to it that seemed to mirror Brigitte's life. The feeling was personified by her dialog, constant isolation, and being surrounded by these well meaning people who are only leading to her destruction. Very much the opposite of the first. Ginger was surrounded by all those people who just wanted to help, and all she did was try and get away. Brigitte was surrounded ny people who wanted to help, but for all the wrong reasons. And Ghost was funny.

Ginger was surrounded by all those people who just wanted to help, and all she did was try and get away. Brigitte was surrounded ny people who wanted to help, but for all the wrong reasons. And Ghost was funny. I agree with you whole-heartedly in the last paragraph. My feelings about this movie are so mixed, though, and mixed up. I just now realized that Brigitte doesn't lose. She turns into a werewolf at the end, yes, but she also kills her werewolf "stalker" (Jason?). I guess that could be called a draw, and a symbolic victory. Still, it felt pretty empty. I really do love Brigitte. Yes, it had a very lonely, isolated feeling to it. But if the first one was about adolescence going awry, Unleashed continued in that theme. Brigitte shooting and cutting was visually indicative of an adolescence gone wrong. And she's locked up with other girls with those same behaviors. The funny thing is, Brigitte's trauma in GS might have been enough alone to make her use heroin and cut herself, but she's shooting and cutting for completely different reasons. What I didn't like about the movie was they had this really cool atmospheric place to film it, and they had a given themselves a very strong theme to film on. Then in the middle, they just chose to leave all that. I thought the dialog was weak, and I didn't like them making fun of the patients, like Winnie. I liked the character of Ghost, but to me she never really fit in this movie. It was like a Pythonesque comedy bit where a performance of Hamlet gets wrecked when Hamlet's cousin Harvey from New York shows up in the middle of a scene. Worse, I lost respect for Brigitte for trusting Ghost. Yes, leave with her if you have to, but ditch her when you're out. I thought Alice was a downright idiot. I don't believe she blew off the fact that Brigitte was shooting a poison. They should have done more with Ginger's part. Yes, I know that's a tall order, Ginger being dead and all, but they set themselves up for that when they decided to make a sequel. If they have a werewolf movie, why not make Ginger a ghost?

I tend to agree with you on all of your views here lordhowl. So I won't repost what you have already said Ginger as a ghost? Huh... That could be interesting.

That's kind of what I've done with my take on it. "The Feral Bond." In the first chapter, (on fanfiction.net under the name of Madman Fred), Brigitte has hallucinations of Ginger. Even though Brigitte knows that she's mentally ill from what she went through and from the stress of fighting the curse, Ginger looks too real for her to ignore. I'll give one hint, though: the hallucination knows something that Brigitte herself couldn't have known. The story is at www.fanfiction.net/s/5709622/1/
