A deeply disturbing
true story…
Paul Bernardo
and Karla Homolka’s psychological dance with death and depravity –
faithfully recreated here in stunning performances by Misha Collins and
Laura Prepon – will haunt you forever…because it’s true.
Every scene of the
film was derived from events transcribed in court testimony using police
reports, interviews between Karla and her psychiatrist, and videotape of
the crimes shot by the perpetrators themselves. But perhaps even more
shocking than the serial rapes and murders by Bernardo, is the question of
how and why a woman could love such a man to the point of becoming his
accomplice…which began with her own sister?
As the gruesome
events unfold, the utter lack of remorse from Paul and his quirky charisma
paint a delusional world of normalcy for Karla, conflicted by her
conscience but still unable to escape.
In the end,
this gripping, tension-packed film leaves the viewer to ponder the psyches
of two individuals in a tragically demented relationship, and to judge:
Was Karla herself caught in Paul's web, a victim? Or did
the fact that she
joined him in his crimes in spite of having an apparent conscience make her
evil even deeper than his?
