Karla

Description

" Karla boasts incredibly impressive performances from the leads, and Laura Prepon does a stand-up job as the eponymous character, effectively casting aside her 70s Show persona more than any of the other sitcom cast members have managed over the years since the show's cancellation. Prepon manages to stay stellar throughout the film, giving a very restrained, natural performance as a woman who would do anything for her man. Actor Misha Collins is equally brilliant as Paul Bernardo. He embodies the bi-polar aspect of Bernardo's character so believably as to be frightening. Bernardo's transformation from sex fetishist to wife beater to rapist happens gradually and naturally, up to a point where he stops being a sexually frustrated filmmaker and becomes pure evil. All of which seems incredibly accurate, thanks entirely to Collins' performance." -- BeyondHollywood.com " That '70s Show star Laura Prepon is downright chilling in her portrayal of Karla Homolka. This movie is profound on many levels and its jarring look at anti-social behavior is right up there with Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer , Kids and Ken Park ." -- phillyburbs.com "Beware a film that will keep you up at night." -- DIGITALJOURNAL.COM "Disturbing, yet compelling...downright chilling" -- MCG's movie picks "Prepon and Collins, bear a chilling resemblance to the couple once dubbed The Ken and Barbie killers ." -- The Globe Evil has a beautiful face.
