2. Dahlia
Dahlia, 16, is the elder sister of
Cynthia, and she is very much
takes care of her younger
sibling. This is shown when she
rushed into the bedroom and
shouts at Cynthia to get into
cupboard to hide from their
raging father. When the two
sisters are hiding in cupboard,
Dahlia is trying to shush and
calm down her younger sister,
this shows how much of a
caring character she is through
the script and her actions.
3. Dahlia
Dahlia is a rather typical character of an
elder sister who is caring towards her
younger sibling and wants to protect her.
Yet Dahlia’s strength is no match to her
fathers as he eventually kills her and
Cynthia and this is a major part in the plot
of the film. We wanted Dahlia to look semi-
creepy with the long hair, fringe and paler
complexion. Although not from thriller,
Dahlia can be easily compared with
Wednesday Addams from the Addams
Family.
Although, she looks rather creepy,
Wednesday also looks after her younger
siblings, much like Dahlia. Although some
physical differences e.g. the hairstyle,
clothes, speech etc. They both very much
believe in the importance in family.
What our film suggests about teenage girls
that love their siblings is that no matter
4. Cynthia
Cynthia is the younger sister to
Dahlia, and although looking
similar ages, Cynthia is not
nearly as independent as her
older sibling. Cynthia is not as
smart either, as she is seen
always questioning Dahlia
about what is happening. She
does not understand why her
father is trying to hurt her and
where her mother is gone
(killed by father).
Despite being 13 year old,
Cynthia does not understand
certain instructions. This is
shown when she refuses to be
5. Cynthia
Although much unlike the stereotypical
younger sister look (blue eyes, blonde
hair, much younger looking). Cynthia as
a character has many personality traits
that match other younger sisters that
also depend on their older sisters. This
is much like the character Lily in the
2013 film ‘Mama’ which was a
supernatural horror.
The two characters are similar in the
fact that they both do no understand
what is exactly going on, and look to
their elder sister for answers. They
depend on them rather than their
parents due to them not being there for
them as much.
The two characters represent this
particular group in society due to their
very typical younger sister traits e.g.
Always asking questions and getting
