Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

a_baron How many times have you watched a crime film that has a ludicrous plot, or one that is too outrageous to entertain? "Karla" is one such film, but shockingly it is a true story. If you haven't heard of her, Karla Homolka is Canada's most hated woman, and with good reason, for what kind of woman marries a serial rapist, knowingly, after having facilitated his drug-assisted rape of her own sister, who dies as a result? But it gets worse, after that, Homolka helped Bernardo continue his reign of depravity.As its title suggests, this film is related from her viewpoint, so sees her minimising her role as far as possible, something she could not extend to Tammy's death because of the video evidence. The names of the other two murder victims have been changed, and obviously due to the usual constraints, a lot has been omitted, but this is a brave film.While it is true that the psychopathic Bernardo beat her severely, only a total douchebag would attempt to portray Homolka as a victim. That or the Attorney General of Ontario, but nuff said. "Karla" was released shortly after she was, the latter being an act that disgusted the Canadian public. The content of this film may disgust you, but don't blame the cast or the people behind it, they have done their craft proud.

amyroselassy715 Before even thinking about viewing Karla please view this link: strangepicturesofmishacollins.tumblr.com/post/50784751422/karla-faq It lists every problematic detail about Karla and also many disturbing facts about what happened behind the scenes and on set. It's also really important to know that the majority of the cast and crew deeply regret being a part of this project. Many of them (especially Misha Collins and Laura Prepon) have been quoted saying that shooting the movie made them physically sick, caused nightmares, and in several cases caused them to hysterically cry at home and on set. Almost every single sane person involved advises all their fans and any other potential viewer to not watch this movie. It grossly exploits a real life tragedy in a very sadistic way. It's very twisted and messed up even if the gore/nudity is not that explicit. Please respect the actors, crew members, and especially the families/friends of the victims by never watching it. (Also, as a fan of Misha's I also want to note that he was unaware that the script was a true story until after he signed the contract.) I can't even rate this movie because it is one of the most vile and disrespectful films ever produced.

crystpc19 Although i hate that things like this happen in reality, movies like the above help to make us understand that evil lurks around every corner no matter where you are or who you are.Things like this happen everyday and we need to be aware of that for our kids,our friends, our neighbors and our families!Cases have gone unsolved and people like Paul and Karla deserve to be punished for their actions and crimes. I definitely recommend this title to anyone who has an open mind.This is not a movie for younger audiences, so don't pop it in on family night.Some scenes may be very disturbing as they involve rape, violence and murder.

Michael O'Keefe Not everyone's cup of tea; and not for the squeamish. Director Joel Bender presents a stark story based on actual events. Karla Homolka(Laura Prepon)falls quickly in love with Paul Bernardo(Misha Collins)knowing nothing about his previous life and being a suspect in a string murders. This story is based on Karla's point of view and its not pretty. Paul is infatuated with Karla's younger sister(Cherilyn Hayres); constantly filming her and actually filming her death. Karla wanting only to please Paul, joins in his desires of kidnapping, psychologically and sexually abusing young women before killing them. By the end of this brutal drama you must explore whether Karla is a willing accomplice to these heinous crimes or is she just a victim of Paul's influence. Prepon, better known for her TV work...especially That 70's Show, is so believable in this role. And Collins is so easy to dislike. Others in the cast:Patrick Bauchau, Emile Jacobs, Tanya Lemelle, Shawn Hoffman, Tess Harper and Sarah Foret. KARLA deserves its R rating.
