Intro: 1815. Canadian settlers are pushing westward. A trading company has set up a fort in the middle of a vast wilderness… and now that fort is under siege. Ravenous beasts lurk in the forest, howling, scratching at the gate. These pioneers have entered werewolf territory.

Copies of the Ginger Snaps trilogy Blu-ray box set can be pre-ordered directly from Second Sight Films.
