anyone confirm Canadian being non-anamorphic despite what the descriptions say? Thanks in advance.

Reading through this thread, it looks as if some of the people took that back cover, which says "16:9", to mean that it *is* anamorphic when, in fact, by my reading, it would seem to be confirming that it's not. They're saying 16:9 as the widescreen ratio, it specifically *doesn't* say that it's "anamorphic enhanced" or "enhanced for 16:9 playback", it just says "widescreen 16:9" which is a ratio.

Not sure, but that's just where I'm guessing the mistake stems from. Unless those back specs were American, but it does say "French"...

agreed! however some sites say enhanced 16:9, some say anamorphic specifically, some don't mention, and some just widescreen. thus...my confusion.
Also, the other 2 Canadian releases were anamorphic so I highly DOUBT the 3rd would not be.

DAMNIT! I went to every place in town that sells DVDs and no one had it :(. Im so mad now, i've been waiting for this movie for a long time now. Walmart said they may get it eventually...sometimes they don't get it until the weekend. So HOPEFULLY...they'll have it tomorrow or something.

But blockbuster had like 10 copies out for rental. Ginger Snaps II only had 2...which is odd, since that did go to theatres...in Canada n e ways. But n e ways, none to buy...just rent. I'd rent it, but if I do i won't have enough if it comes out on the weekend :(

Well, FINALLY. I went job hunting today *student*, and I decided to take another look in zellers, and there....sitting beside like 30 other copies of it, was the one I have on my shelf now :-d. Im gonna watch it tonight!

well, i just got it and it says "widescreen version of the feature (16 x 9)" does that mean it isn't anamorphic?

also, can anyone else confirm that this doesn't come with an insert? thanks.

The Canadian one doesn't come with an insert...don't know about the american one tho.

I just received the Canadian disc for review. It is indeed NOT anamorphic. It also has no insert.

That is really, really a JOKE!

Yikes. Did we see the same movie? Gotta be hard up for Hammer to make that leap. Ginger Snaps 3 is featured in my current column.

Yup, as a prequel this film doesn't work at all. It wastes 45+ minutes trying to create a suspense that only exists for those who haven't seen the first 2 films (errr... we KNOW they are werewolves... :) ), not to mention all the spiritual new age mumbo jumbo silliness. But as a standalone film, it's still a tad above your common horror film fare, mostly due to the two leads.

Perhaps not, and going by your review for Night of the Demons, I'd say we did not see the same film there either ;)

Not anamorphic?!?!?!?!

That is terrible news but thanks anyway.
