Oooooooh! I think 14 year old angry teen Kelly would say Ginger Snaps. It is one of my favourite films, but Dog Soldiers still holds up now. It's so funny as well as crazy violent.

I prefer Dog Soldiers.
They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash.

Both are good. But I'd have to say Ginger Snaps by a hair. Or a nose, if you'd prefer.
This is your brain on drugs with salt and pepper and a little bit of Tabasco.

Do you agree that Dog Soldiers was good but not great for the reasons I mentioned?

Ginger Snaps by far, and then the sequel is a little better than that.

Hard choice as both are among my favorite h-movies, but I have to give DS the award as it's not only a fantastic werewolf-movie, but a splendid action/thriller as well.

There's a chasm between your comments and ratings for both films.

I don't exactly hate Dog Soldiers but I do think Ginger Snaps is a better film on several levels IMO. Personally, I think that one of the main reasons why Dog Soldiers is a pretty decent but not great film is because of the way the movie is edited/sped-up at times. Now, there are some good sequences with the british soldiers killing some of the werewolves inside/outside the housebut the shutter-speed frame effect and quick editing is used and you can hardly tell what is happening throughout which makes some scenes missed opportunities IMO. For me, it became annoying at times and the wolves should've been doing more attacking during these sequences too but it is a gory movie and the effects looked good. Also I felt they didn't use some more creative ways to kill the werewolves when they finally do get inside the farmhouse, aside from the one soldier stabbing and throwing things at a wolf and the sergeant using a flame-thrower through the small bathroom door. I mean, one soldier even finds a sword yet never uses it which was disappointing. Anyway, I still think it's at least a 7.5/10 but it could've been better.
Now, on the other hand I think Ginger Snaps is a very clever and well-acted/written film that does something unique with the werewolf sub-genre in terms of it's connection to puberty with lycanthropy IMO. For me, the performances by Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins were excellent and the intelligent/witty screenplay was very interesting and ingeniouseven the effects were pretty good and the final werewolf design was both original yet still unsettling in it's execution during the final confrontation. Plus, I enjoy the fact that the gore was only shown when it needed to be seen since this is a character-driven film and you really feel for the two sisters' situation IMO. Personally, it's the more emotional story and it's uniqueness is why I give it a higher rating of 8.5/10. Hell, the sequel/prequel are really good too in my view.

DS all the way, because the bipedal ww is more scary to me as they retain some semblance of humanity.I like quadrupedal , too,if done well,as in AAWIL. The WW is my absolute favorite monster.

Dog soldiers, a great depiction of the British tommy

Both excellent, both very different, Ginger Snaps is more substantive and more rewarding.

See I haven't seen either one, but plan on buying one or the other since they're both on sale and I like werewolves. Thanks for the replies.

Ginger Snaps by a long shot.
"You gotta punch the clock, why don't you punch your boss?"

Two totally different movies.
Dog Soldiers is a kick ass siege action movie with some choice comedy thrown in, and some of the best looking werewolves on celluloid. 7/10
Ginger Snaps is a caustic coming of age pitch black comedy with some great observations on family dynamics. 8/10

Both 8/10, but I prefer Ginger Snaps.
CG gore is the worst thing that has ever happened to the horror genre.

it's a tough call but while Dog Soldiers is the better unadulterated werewolf flick, Ginger Snaps is ultimately the better storyso it gets my vote..

Dog Soldiers but I really like both.
