What if the monkshood had actually cured Brigitte, but she believed it hadn't?
Given what happened to her in GS, in Unleashed, she'd probably be cutting on herself and shooting smack even without lycanthropy. They might have taken the approach that lycanthropy was just a delusion with her, and she actually didn't have it. I mean, just think, her symptoms were so similar to the girls she was locked up with.
Let's face it, Brigitte's heart is smashed on the rocks by the end of GS. Unleashed is really about somebody who is psychologically wounded with loss.
So, that would make Ghost a hallucination as well, and Brigitte being locked in the cellar at the end? Total withdrawal deeper into madness?

How would she have known how to escape rehab? And why would the directors show scene's of Ghost when B's not around. It could be possible, but I doubt it was all in her head.

That would be an interesting twist to say for sure. And I find it absolutely plausible too. Although I'd hate it, haha.

Not that the whole thing was "a dream," only Brigitte's perceptions were distorted at first, and she was delusional about her condition and her own body. That is, until the second half when she leaves with Ghost, which would be totally a "dream." And when Brigitte gets locked in the cellar, it would mean she is actually catatonic, with a "cruel goddess" imprisoning her. It's not totally plausible, though. The scene where Alice is told that Brigitte has been shooting poison certainly wouldn't fit. No, I present it just to show how close Unleashed is to being an actual "real world" story about a teenager wrecked by loss and trauma who becomes withdrawn, turns to drugs and cutting and then becomes psychotic. It is just as metaphorical in its idea as the original GS was. Nice thing is, you could "switch to reality" midway with horror and see it as like something in real life. We have taken out the fantastical fact that Ginger was turning into a werewolf in GS, which would make it a mundane story of the breaking of a childhood bond.

Damn! I realize I put this thread in the wrong forum. It belonged under Ginger Snaps: Unleashed.
