 
Brigitte
(Emily Perkins) has killed off the beast
that was inside her sister Ginger
(Katharine Isabelle) and now she
discovers that she is infected as well.
She ran away from home and is living in a
skid row type motel and shooting up
monkshood, which is a drug that postpones
the mutating effects the virus but does
not cure it. She also sees hallucinations
of her sister taunting her too.
She overdoses and is thrown into a rehab
while another werewolf type monster is
stalking her and killing others there.
She must escape from that centre before
more havoc hjappens and gets help from
another patient there named Ghost
(Tatiana Manslany).
They flee to Ghost's grandmother's cabin
in the woods to hide out there but the
monster follows them. Brigitte must hold
back her desires to feed on human flesh
as well.
I enjoyed this
sequel a bit better than the first one as
they made the moments a little darker and
mysterious.
Has good effects and great performances.
Some scenes will make you jump too plus
it was a bit psychological with some of
the events in this film and very
disturbing to top it all off.
The acting is
still incredibly well done as Emily
Perkins reprises her role and knew
how to be more aggressive and violent
after the last incident which makes her
performance truly powerful.
Tatiana
Maslany does a perfect job as a
loony little girl trying to be friendly
to everyone and can act heartwarming too.
Eric Johnson does well as a bit of a
stuck up teen at the institution trying
to volunteer his time there.
Of course we can't forget about
Katarine Isabelle returning as a
dead sister of Perkins and she herself
stood out well with her scene's as she
acts believeably ghostly.
There are some leg slitting
by a dissecting knife.
People are chewed up
A dog's head is decapitated (Gross)
Stuart Rosenberg knew
how to make this sequel seenm both
supernatural and psychological at the
same time.
He shows a great beginning of the film
that involves actress Emily Perkins
with her twisted behavior and illusions.
There is a great moment when she sticks a
needle in her arm as it looks intense
with her reactions towards the side
effects and she does well with her
dialogues between Katharine Isabelle
as her dead sister plus there's nice
shots on her.
We see a great energetic running scene
with Perkins since the timing
looked perfect for it.
We also see a good dialogue between Perkins
and supporting actress Janet
Kidder as you want to slap
Kidder for acting so arrogant and
she pulls it off well too.
We see a disturbing scenario in a therapy
room with people acting emotionally
intense and aggressive too.
A real twisting moment is with supporting
actress Pascale Hutton throwing
pennies at Tatiana Maslany's head
as it almost makes you wonder if she will
snap which was one of Rosenberg's most
intense directing and then we see a great
rage with Perkins attacking
Hutton.
Perkins seems to show great intense
and aggressive looks to her character
whenever someone crosses her or makes her
angry.
We see great shots of the basement of the
institution when Perkins tries
to escape with Maslany and
running away from a werewolf plus a nice
reaction on Perkins when the
werewolf throws her to a wall.
There is really nice scene's with
Perkins and Maslany mingling
together at an old cabin along with some
scary werewolf attacks too.
Perkins shows a perfect freaky
fierce expression on her face in the
bathroom of the cabin when Manslay
opens up the bathroom door.
Rosenberg knew what he wanted in
this film to make it look extremely
intense and mysterious.
Kurt Swinghammer's
music seems to blend in with the film
quite well and does a good job with it.
Koral:
Dr. Brookner, if she doesn't shut up, I
swear I'll make her drink her piss...
again.
Beth-Ann:
PING!
[throws penny at Ghost's head and
laughs, everyone else joins in]
Girl: This is getting so boring.
Beth-Ann: It's an ancient game,
the throwing of pennies at the local
moron or midget!
Brigitte: I can't see the TV
[laughing and throwing continues]
Brigitte: I said I can't see the
TV!
[grabs Beth-Ann and slams her into a
wall]
Brigitte: Would you like me to
throw YOU at her head?
Ghost:
Do you turn at the full moon?
Brigitte: You watch too many
horror movies.
Ghost: I'm not allowed to watch
horror movies, or technically, to read
comics. Or eat gluten - I'm too
impressionable.
Brigitte: Why does that not
surprise me?
Ghost: Well, not the gluten thing
- that's just digestive
Ghost:
So was that the one that bit you?
Brigitte: I wasn't bit, my sister
was. And no, it wasn't the same one.
Ghost: Well - Well, where did it
come from? The infinite darkness?
Brigitte: I don't think so,
Ghost... more like the suburbs.
Ghost: If you weren't bit, then...
Brigitte: I infected myself with
her blood. I thought I could make her
stop if I was like her.
Ghost: I always wanted a sister.
Where is she now?
Brigitte: She isn't, I stopped
her.
Ghost: You killed your own sister?
Brigitte: There wasn't much of
Ginger left in what I killed.
Ghost: So - So what'd you use? A
silver bullet?
Brigitte: A knife. They're not
superheroes, Ghost.
Brigitte:
[looking at elongated ear in mirror,
moves back to show Ginger sitting on a
chair] Ginger?
Ginger: We really need to talk.
These last few days, I've been feeling
very left out, watching you hang out with
all your cool, new friends.
Brigitte: It's starting.
[Isabelle, Katharine@Ginger
Ghost:
It's gonna find, you isn't it? You know
the fact that it didn't kill you
tonight... that means something. Maybe
he's like you, and it's not in his nature
to kill, and he secretly wants...
Brigitte: Ghost, he wants to mate
with me.
Ghost: Oh...
Brigitte: Don't try too hard to
visualize that.
Ghost:
[firing rifle] Go back to the
darkness!
Alice: Ghost? You shot at me! What
the hell?
