Ginger Snaps

Is becoming a woman analogous, in some deep psychological way, to becoming a werewolf? Ginger is 16, edgy, tough, and, with her younger sister, into staging and photographing scenes of death. They've made a pact about dying together. In early October, on the night she has her first period, which is also the night of a full moon, a werewolf bites Ginger. Within a few days, some serious changes happen to her body and her temperament. Her sister Brigitte, 15, tries to find a cure with the help of Sam, a local doper. As Brigitte races against the clock, Halloween and another full moon approach, Ginger gets scarier, and it isn't just local dogs that begin to die.

Trivia

Daughter of Graeme Murray and 'Gail Murray'.

She refuses to do nude scenes.

She said that when she went to a pharmacy after a day of shooting Ginger Snaps (2000), the people thought she'd been beaten up since she was still covered in fake blood.

Originally auditioned to play 'Lori' in Freddy Vs. Jason (2003), but director Ronny Yu thought she would do better playing a much more liberal role, and asked her to play 'Gibb'. She accepted.

Had a body double for the shower scene in Freddy Vs. Jason (2003).

Sister of actor Joshua Murray

Personal quotes

"I hate to say it, but I was really expecting a little bit more. It's just the same-old, same-old. There's nothing to it � it's all about running around and screaming, 'No, Freddy, don't!'" - on working on Freddy vs. Jason (2003).

Everyone wants you naked. I think I've done one or two movies in the past six years where they haven't tried something slimy to get me naked.

You do these Canadian independent movies, you build up a name, and then you've gotta do shitty TV episodes just to pay your bills. It's hard to build your career when you keep on having to backtrack to do crappy things to pay for what you're doing. So it's kind of a weird situation.
