As Halloween slowly creeps up on us, horror films have reclaimed their spot as the most seasonally appropriate (yes, even more appropriate than “Gilmore Girls”) way to ignore your assignments and second round of midterms. Out of the multitude of bone chilling, heart stopping and vomit inducing options, I find myself drawn to horror films with well written female leads. After all, there’s nothing like a mad woman, and there’s nothing like cheering her on as she inevitably wrecks the lives of every other character. For the 2022 season, my recommendation is a slightly lesser known Canadian cult classic: the fabulously heart-wrenching “Ginger Snaps.”
