About this movie

Evil has a beautiful face. Karla is the deeply disturbing true story of "the Ken and Barbie killers." Winter 1990 - the most notorious serial killers in the history of Canada begin their psychological dance with death and depravity as an entire country is held captive in fear. In stunningly acclaimed performances, Laura Prepon (That 70's Show, Slackers, Come Early Morning) and Misha Collins (24, Supernatural) breathe perverse life into their real life counterparts, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, dubbed by an anxious press as the Ken and Barbie Killers. As the gruesome events unfold, and lovely young girls disappear, the utter lack of remorse from Paul coupled with his quirky charisma paint a delusional world of normalcy for Karla. Police frantically search for and eventually put an end to the couple's horrific killing spree and their trial captivates the entire nation, setting off waves of controversy surrounding the brutal killings. In the end, this gripping, tension-packed film will haunt you forever - left to ponder the psyches of two individuals in a tragically demented relationship - because it's true.

Ratings and reviews

Didn't like the way the movie made Karla look like a victim of domestic violence. She's every bit as evil as Paul Bernardo is. Now she is free with a new identity and married with kids of her own! May she rot in hell for what she has done!

True, albeit Ture Trash. May be well done film but well-done and true do not make the entertainment value above the evil trash the story is. Mic Pete * Ririe, Idaho USofA

I liked this movie despite the fact that it makes Karla look like a victim and I know she's not but what I found interesting about it is knowing it happened in my hometown which also makes it a little bone chilling
