=== This film provides examples of the following tropes: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[California Doubling]]: An extreme case of it, as the movie was set in Canada but shot in America with an all-American cast (Laura Prepon played Karla) because no one in Canada wanted anything to do with the production.
* [[Character Title]]
* [[Old Shame]]: [[Misha Collins]] has stated many times that he regrets his participation in ''Karla''. He has explained that he was unaware how infamous and emotionally relevant the cases were in Canada at the time, and also states that the director of the film took things way too far and would compliment him after shooting particularly horrible rape scenes, saying "[[Squick|That was]] ''[[Squick|hot]].''" He ended up having a phone conversation with one of the victims who escaped, and now tells people not to watch the movie, especially when it comes up at fan conventions.
* [[Ripped Fromfrom the Headlines]]
* [[Very Loosely Based Onon a True Story]]: The story itself is (sadly) quite true to reality, but mistakenly portrayed Homolka as yet another victim of Bernardo's sociopathic antics - despite the fact that it's long-since been established that she was just as culpable as Bernardo. The Canadian media and public were understandably appalled.
