Tatiana Maslany Did a Fine Job.


Tatiana Maslany was "age regressed". Probably with an appliance or padding to suppress her hips and bosom. Annette Funicelo, of "The Mickey Mouse Club" was getting a trifle adult for the role and she, too, was age-regressed.

Maslany did a splendid job. "Ghost" was a classical sociopath without a moral compass of any sort.

All the more dangerous because her age and gender disarmed people.

Chilling performance.

I agree. She had me fooled until I looked her up and saw that she was 19 when she played Ghost.Even the way she moved was hyperkenetic like a child's movements might be like. She is my favorate character in this movie. I love her ability to improvise.

Wow she was 19 when she played Ghost?


Makes it even more creepy. Ghost was amazing.

Agree... I like Emily Perkins alot, but Tatiana was the real gem of this movie.

If you think being 19 and looking 13 is bad....

I hated Ghost so kudos to Maslany. I'm sure everyone who worked on the film were impressed and thrilled by her performance. She really did a great job, but so did the rest of the cast. No one brought this film down.

And I lose too much respect for Brigitte when I think that she trusted Ghost. Once out of the joint, it was time to dump her. There is definitely no way those two should have been sleeping next to each other.

Tatiana was great in this. She stars in Orphan Black now, which is my new favorite show.

I agree. And in this one, Emily Perkins carried the entire first half of the show. Then she gets just a little help from Tatiana Maslani.

I think they the makers of this movie could see Tatiana was a great talent. They needed a character to replace Ginger, and that was a tall order.

Even with two great actresses anchoring this story, I still don't think the movie was totally successful.

I actually wrote a fan theory that the Ginger Snaps movies and Orphan Black are connected on the board of the first film. And a quick recap to save some time; in episode 2 of the first season we are told that one of the characters lives in Bailey Downs which is the hometown of Ginger and Brigitte which also must mean that Ghost is actually one of the clones from the show that just hasn't been discovered by the leading character yet.
