The premise

Set in 19th Century Canada, Brigitte and her sister Ginger take refuge in a Traders' Fort which later becomes under siege by some savage werewolves. But when one of the girls is bitten, they have no one to turn to but themselves.

Horror Vault's take

A prequel set in the frozen wilderness of 19th-century Canada, this third entry in the Ginger Snaps trilogy strips the werewolf mythology back to its period-horror roots. Brigitte and Ginger, stranded and desperate, seek shelter in a remote fur-trading fort — only to find its inhabitants already gripped by terror from the surrounding woods. When the beast's curse brushes closer to home, the sisters must rely solely on each other to survive the encroaching darkness. Gothic atmosphere and fierce sisterly loyalty drive this haunting, frontier-set chiller.
