i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Crappy film

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The film portrays Karla in not as even of a light as she should of been.They made Paul look extremely bad which he was so that is all fine by me. But Karla they made to look like a psychotic victim. Lets get one thing clear, she shows little remorse for the victims she just might of killed, and agreed to kill (so either way shes psychotic) and she is a sociopath with no empathy. She has s huge IQ and she is just an awful person.So to the see the film make her out to be a confused, helpless victim was just as sick as what these two did to these three or four, or more poor girls if you count Pauls rapes in Scarbourough.Anyway the movie is disturbing as expected but it does a good job at looking at a real-life story and something that can happen. It is all so amazing and shocking this happened in Canada, my country that is supposed to be safe. But this is an evil, evil world.I feel sorry for the family and friends of the victims and do not encourage them to ever watch this but I think it is important the world can see this story so they know the evil these two committed and sure it is a big injustice she is now free after her deal with the devil twelve year plea bargain. But it is important Paul spends the rest of his life in prison as a dangerous offender. Karla is a sociopath, Paul is a sick, evil, psychotic scumbag that should never see the light of day again.If your into true, killer movies, then it is not bad at all. Just be prepared for some altered facts and disturbing scenes.7 out of 10.

Normally I'm the type of person who will dislike a movie because the acting or directing was bad. Karla, however, proposes an entirely different case for me. By all means, the acting and directing were great. That is why I couldn't give my review any lower then I all ready did. What makes Karla unforgivable is the fact that it says it's truth while really it is a lie. Karla is painted as a victim while her husband Paul commits all these horrible acts. She just stands there and watches while her husband does horrible things to young girls he kidnapped. The truth, Karla would help him rape and torture those girls. They video taped it so that the truth is out there. Karla not only participated in the horrible acts, but she was enjoying herself. What this movie does is give poor ignorant people almost two hours of making Karla Homolka look like this innocent abused woman who only wanted a fairy tale marriage and to make her husband happy. Then for the last minute of the film, it tells us in writing that she didn't get off for parole and that she never apologized to the families of the victims. And that is the movie. Please people, know the facts!!! Read the book, or even watch the criminal minds episode. Read the case online, anything! Anything but this horrible package of lies sticking up for one of the most evil people to ever live. Sorry if this review seems scattered, but I'm irate at the moment. This movie should never have been made.

This movie seemed to try to make the view feel compassion for sorrow for Karla but she showed none to her victims. She and her husband should have been given the death penalty. I don't understand how she could be out of prison and I don't understand how a movie could be made to show any compassion for her. She deserves none! This is another case of a film trying to gain sympathy for the killer and none for the victims or the victim's families. Prepon did an awesome job portraying Karla Holumka. I was ready to feel sorry for her until I read more about her true character. The movie should have shown more of her real self instead of the innocent victim portrayed in the movie Karla. This was a frightening movie because of the truth of it and because of the truth left out of it.

This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. And I have seen a lot of films. It is supposed to be a picture about passion and violence but the whole thing is so mismanaged it just bores you to tears. Stay away from it, don't let curiosity drive you to a theatre or a video rental shop. Cinematography is bad, acting is poor, screenplay is dismal and direction is non existent.The whole package is a shameful moment for Canadian film history. The distributors of this piece of garbage must have been drunk or maybe they didn't have a trash bin at hand or they thought it would be funny to play a sick joke with audiences. You will regret the money you spent and the time you lost with this rubbish; that is, if you bear to watch it longer than 15 minutes. But even then, you will have a feeling that you want your 15 minutes back. Sorry, it will be too late.
