Review of GINGER SNAPS

A very interesting post-feminism horror film, GINGER SNAPS has received a great deal of critical acclaim from horror critics, and has something of a cult following, Here is a review that explores its feminist themes with some close shot analysis and discussion of genre from a scholarly perspective. The film is described as an apt example of the "body horror" sub-genre, and offers some discussion of the concept of "feminist teratology" (referring to beings or types which deviate from the norm; in most contexts, beings seen as "monstrous") which is a term coined by feminist scholar Patricia McCormack in this article.
