Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSince the real sisters and their friends are protected by Canadian law and their information is sealed, there was no way of knowing who they were as people. Director Stan Brooks then made everyone in the young cast go home and write an essay about their character - what their favorite music was, their favorite food, and so on. Zoe Belkin wrote that Ashley is anorexic, doesn't eat and has body issues. If you watch the movie there's a cafeteria scene were she chooses Jell-O and the entire meal cuts out but she never eats any.
- GoofsDuring the main titles, while pulling the U-Haul trailer, the family passes the Atlas Pawn Shop twice, going in different directions.
- Quotes
Beth Anderson: We lied about killing our mom. We like to mess with people a lot.
Detective Santiago Gates: That's a pretty sick thing to be telling people.
Beth Anderson: Well, what can I say? We're pretty messed up. But there is a big difference between being a pathological liar, and a murder.

Featured review
If it wasn't based on true events this could be a pure rip-off of Heavenly Creatures (1994) another flick based on true events.
Here we have two sisters fed up with their mother being drunk whole the time and bringing in the wrong guys only to have sex before the eyes of their daughters due being drunk, always having abusive relationships . Slowly the sisters and their friends are making a simple plan to kill her. Doing so they almost got away with it wasn't it for the fact that one of the sisters starts to tell everybody she killed her mother.
Like in Heavenly Creatures we also have dream sequences so comparing both flicks is easy. But Perfect Sisters shows that it clearly was a TV flick where as Heavenly Creatures was more brutal and performances were better.
It isn't all that bad and I watched it with my teen daughter (15 just as the sisters aged 14 and 15) who never turned her face away by which I mean, there's no horror in it or even any creepy moments. Even when they are killing the mother it's all done without terror.
Due being based on a true story it's worth picking up just to see how people can influence each other when they are weak. Not a perfect flick but indeed perfect sisters...
