It's not true crime, just kinda based on it.

Karla was difficult to watch. Not necessarily because of the subject matter or that it's based on real events. No. It was difficult to watch because they tried to make you feel bad for Karla. The woman knowingly married a serial rapist. She willingly made a gift of her younger sister to him. The same sister that died because of it. Not to mention she participated in the rape and murder of several children and managed to cop a plea deal on the whole thing when caught by concealing evidence along with help from her lawyer.

Karla Homolka was not a victim. She was a willing participant and any attempt to turn her into a sympathetic character is just pissing on the graves of the people she helped to kill.

Trivia
Since the film's release, Misha Collins has said that he regrets participating in it. He said that he was unaware of the infamy and strong emotions in Canada surrounding the crimes. After a telephone conversation with a victim who managed to escape, he now routinely tells people not to watch the film, especially when it comes up at Supernatural (2005) conventions. Occasionally, fans ask him to sign their DVDs of the film.

Goofs
When Karla and Paul drive off after abducting a teen, about 56 minutes in, a crew member in sunglasses is clearly visible on screen.

Quotes
[last lines]
Karla Homolka: Dr Arnold was right. I did kill somebody. I killed my sister. How can anyone ever be forgiven for that? I think about what I did every day. I really do.

Alternate versions
The film was scheduled to have its world premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival in August 2005, but it got pulled due to the controversy surrounding it. Since then some of the rape scenes of the teen girls have been removed for the 2006 theatrical release in order not to break any Canadian child pornography laws.
