True killer films

Like many films of true crimes and murders there is a tendency for them to be overtly analyzed when the full details are not quite certain of e.g. When events are acted in a assumed manner without direct commentary, all with a touch of artist license for dramatic or chilling effect.

However Karla falls into another pit full of these films an uneasy depiction of the killer appearing as a victim. Whether intention or not I couldn't work out, its possible that in trying to show the very complex nature of Karla Homolka and her destructive and abusive relationship with Paul Bernado, they inadvertantly overlooked a few issues and figured the "character" would be liked more.

Laura Prepon stars as Karla, young beautiful and blonde woman who falls for Paul (Misha Collins) an egotistic, masogonistic, serial womaniser and rapist (all unknown to karla). the two quickly enter a troubled relationship of kinky, violent sex, jealose rows over paul's obsession with Karla's younger sister Tammy. Which leads to Karla offering her sister to Paul after drugging her 2 days before X-mas, the two then film themselves sexually assaulting Tammy but she chokes on her vomit due to the drugging and dies. Karla and Paul freak call and ambulance with a hastily made up story about Tammy being drunk and they get away with it. But Paul liked it so much that in the following years he proceeds to kidnap, abused film, raped, brutalize, beat and kill more teenage girls all with Karla's willing participation.

The film shows that very abusive relationship between karla and paul, and no doubt she was a beaten spouse, her mind was affected and she willingly admitted that she would do anything to please him and keep him. but this film doesn't balance that with the troubles that plague the courts: the evidence of video's showing karla without fear or intimidation abusing many of the victims including her own kid sister, and also that she helped to kidnap the girls and was fully aware in later years of paul's serial rapist behavour and failed to prevent further attacks.

Prepon and Collins are greats as leads, she provides the beauty, vunverbility and little bit of sass that the role calls for but with a sterness and clearity to the acting that provises a great performance and Collins is superbe as Paul Bernardo, twisted, Pyschotic highly abusive, manipulative and extremely charming and easy to eleviate peoples fears.

The couple were called the Ken and Barbie Murderers, a young good looking sweet couple next door. but behind closed doors there was a whole horrid world. This is their story and serves as a fairly good movie on the real life case of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.

The real couple its based on:
.

well Opium, absinth, johnny depp and Jack the ripper wat else could u want from a film! oh and there is the brutal bloody murders! gonna have to watch and review again soon.

ok aside from the based on true events and the violance and gore in this film, i found it very slow and not that great a film. it wasnt really that scary nor thrilling!
but the scenery was great!

fairly decent (loosely) fact based drama of the hillside stranglers aka deranged cousins Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono.

Howell and Turturro are good considering thier roles. This is a very brutal, violent, sexually charged profanity ladened serial killer portrayal so isn't for everybody.

This is an account of their tormenting of LA in the 1970's when they raped, tortured and murdered 10 young women.
