jacobjohntaylor1 I from Ontario so I know this a true. I know people who are connected to it. This a very scary movie. It is a lot scary then The silences of the lambs could ever be. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is scarier then the 2010 remake of a Nightmare on elm street could ever be. If you want to see a really scary horror movie then see this movie. I give 5 out of 10. This is very scary. This is scarier then the 2003 remake of The Texas chainsaw massacre could ever be. It is about a real killer. So that make it very scary. Be cause if he ever breaks out of prison his next victim could be YOU!

begob Girl falls in love with boy, discovers he's a rapist, marries him and colludes in his continued depravity, then gets caught.Earnest tale told in plain flashback, with no insight on the characters and no interest in the nature of truth and little by way of visceral horror. The killing scenes are tame, giving no sense of the rush of adrenalin in perpetrators or victims, or the ugliness and finality of violent death. So overall it feels like an old-fashioned made for TV movie.You get to the postscript and find an entirely different character from the one portrayed by the lead actress, and it's a real head scratcher to think they didn't use that angle to mess things up and break from the linear story telling.Performances are fine. Lighting is mostly bright, so no great moodiness. Music did its job.Overall: Simple tale of depravity that didn't feel depraved.Seems there was controversy in Canada over this, and several of the actors repudiated the film, with lurid tales of misconduct on the set. Its real weakness is that it pulls its punches and fails to be nasty enough.

m1xer The film portrays Karla in not as even of a light as she should of been.They made Paul look extremely bad which he was so that is all fine by me. But Karla they made to look like a psychotic victim. Lets get one thing clear, she shows little remorse for the victims she just might of killed, and agreed to kill (so either way shes psychotic) and she is a sociopath with no empathy. She has s huge IQ and she is just an awful person.So to the see the film make her out to be a confused, helpless victim was just as sick as what these two did to these three or four, or more poor girls if you count Pauls rapes in Scarbourough.Anyway the movie is disturbing as expected but it does a good job at looking at a real-life story and something that can happen. It is all so amazing and shocking this happened in Canada, my country that is supposed to be safe. But this is an evil, evil world.I feel sorry for the family and friends of the victims and do not encourage them to ever watch this but I think it is important the world can see this story so they know the evil these two committed and sure it is a big injustice she is now free after her deal with the devil twelve year plea bargain. But it is important Paul spends the rest of his life in prison as a dangerous offender. Karla is a sociopath, Paul is a sick, evil, psychotic scumbag that should never see the light of day again.If your into true, killer movies, then it is not bad at all. Just be prepared for some altered facts and disturbing scenes.7 out of 10.

wispy-1 I've seen a few reviews here and in other media about this movie that complain that it is too realistic and/or never should have been made out of respect for Canadians and, especially, their victims and families. Well, I'm a Canadian and I was stalked and almost abducted off the street by them. Luckily, I was a lot more street savvy than their victims, very smart, strong and in peak physical condition, and more a leader than a follower. They wisely realized that, appearances to the contrary, I was not a good choice of prey and moved on. All this is to say, that I probably have more reason than most to agree with those who argue that the film shouldn't have been released.I do, in fact, agree that it shouldn't have seen the light of day but not, however, because of bad memories, sympathy, or outrage at glorifying the horrific crimes, but because the movie sucked! From writing, through directing, to acting, it's just bad. It's too late for me, but not for you who haven't had to sit through this sludge - save yourselves!
