Sister My Sister
Two sister, maids to a wealthy woman and her daughter, plot to kill their employer after their incestous affair is discovered. Based om the real true crime story in Le Mans, France, were the two Papin sisters murdered their employer. There is also a play, 'The Maids' based on the same murder case. Its a suffocating and uncomfortable watch, let's put it like that.
Heavenly Creatures
Two best friends, Pauline and Juliet, plot and kill Pauline's mother after they find out they are to be separated. The film is based on the relationship between the girls and the notorious Parker/Hulme murder case in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1954.
Miss Bala
Miss Bala, the bullet beauty queen is what she's been called before. Laura Guerrero, signs up to be part of a beauty pagent with her friend but on a night out she get caught up in a shooting and kidnapped by the La Estrella gang and forced to participate in their crimes. This is loosely based on Laura Zúñiga who is a model and beauty queen who was caught and arrested along with suspected gang members outside Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico in 2008. There is an American remake coming out this year, which I'm surprised about, not that it exists but that it took this long to make it!
