The two girls are tailor made for their roles, particularly the brooding younger sister Brigitte (Emily Perkins). They may not look very much alike but they act like sisters should.
The film is heavy with metaphor in the first half, then erupts with some Sam Raimi inspired terror in the finale. And there's no cheap CGI in sight.

What a fine little film with just enough ick-factor to give it that extra "blech".
It's nice that Kat Isabelle is finally getting some worldwide recognition with American Mary but it's a shame Em Perkins isn't really that well known outside of Canada.

This is a favorite of mine. It's just really well done for what it is, and I feel like a lot of horror films have aped it since. Shame the sequels aren't as good.
Honestly I like Unleashed more than the first GS, mainly for Emily Perkins being the main actress. I really wish she starred in more films.
Last film I saw her in was Juno. "Blueberry pie."
Em was in Hiccups recently. I don't know if you guys got that show though. It nice to see her do funny. She's good at it.
She also played a great part in Da Vinci's Inquest another great series I don't know if you got. She played a hooker on the Downtown Eastside. Gritty stuff. One of those roles where it was always great to see her in.
