Karla is a 2006 American motion picture drama and thriller. The film is based on the true story of two of Canada's most notorious serial killers, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.

The film was originally titled Deadly, but was renamed Karla before its release. The script is based on court transcriptions, interviews and video shot by Homolka and Bernardo.

The film has caused significant controversy in Canada, where the families of victims Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy initially said that the film was exploiting the memory of their daughters. Politicians in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, including Attorney General Michael Bryant, have called for a boycott of the film, and one Canadian theatre chain, Cineplex Odeon, has already stated that it will show the film only in its major urban markets in Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa. The film was originally booked to debut during in 2005 Montreal World Film Festival, until protests by Air Canada, a corporate sponsor of the festival, put an end to the idea.

Lawyer Tim Danson, who represents the French and Mahaffy families, had a private screening of the film in September with the families in attendance. The following month, he announced that the families would not oppose the film's Canadian release.

Awful movie with the sole slughtly redeeming quality being Laura Prepon's decent performance. I read a lot about the true events the movie is based on and from what I know the film is quite a distortion of them, especially with its pathetic attempt to portray Karla Homolka as more of a victim. And that not to mention the absolutely cheap look of the movie that qualifies for the TV movie of the week and even that hardly.
