Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed, 2004, starring Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins.

Sister dead, Brigitte is sent to a small rehab clinic, only to be haunted by an apparition of Ginger, who warns her of an evil, bloodthirsty presence waiting for her outside of the building's walls. 

Still brilliantly performed, Ginger Snaps 2 doesn't have the bite of the first. This entry in the trilogy consists of more gore, less humor. Instead, this story has a darker tone to it. The title isn't punny anymore since Ginger has already snapped and is dead, but that doesn't ruin the movie. This time it's Brigitte's turn to transform into the creature her sister once was. I'm not sure I liked the use of Brigitte as a victim of what Ginger went through. She already hates her life, why make it worse? Enough complaining. The film itself is a great one. The ending is my favorite scene. Again, kudos to using practical effects, unlike most horror sequels nowadays. 7/10.
