She would, I remember her from Interview with An Vampire (where as a KID she did an excellent job!), and Spiderman.
We need more female unsubs, I don't care if it's uncommon (although, THINK ABOUT IT: maybe there are less female serial killers that we know of because they are more careful / the officials don't suspect them - Karla Homolka got off lightly even though I think she was actually the dominant killing partner...).
I know she can play scared from Spiderman, and I know she can play scary from Interview With A Vampire: she was just a kid then but her character frequently spooked me out.
I'll like it if we can go back to more realistic unsubs, or at least unsubs whose backgrounds aren't so bizarre, I've always seen many episodes in the early seasons as well done social commentary, like how in Natural Born Killer, the violent environment made a killer who have no sympathy for other people's pain and was scarily immune to physical pain (so they couldn't torture him for information as to where he kept the kidnapped FBI agent). Plus in "Perfect Storm", because "she was never the same" due to what her entire family did to her, she wanted to spread the pain.
These episodes are as 'unique' as the tornado frankenstein, but I found them much more compelling.
...and irl female unsub: Karla's father had an unhealthy interest in her mother's friend, he was sexually harassing that friend. Karla's mother responded by approaching that friend, and telling her that it was in the power of that friend to save the Homolka marriage by having a threesome with her husband. When Karla was in highschool, she was a member of a 'Diamond' club that made promises to each other that they would find and marry, no matter what, men who were handsome and successful, and that's what Paul Bernado was, he was handsome and he was successful in business, and his other shortcomings, Karla tolerated. Karla had inherited from her mother a tolerance for sexual creepers, and the method of controlling them by actively setting herself up as 'the helper'.
I think Kirsten Dunst could pull off playing someone like that, a WASPy character who inherited unhealthy traditions from the generation before, that many might find socially acceptable, and then turned it definitively gruesome.
