    Storyline

    • 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.

    Hope I wasn't supposed to feel sorry for her
    If Karma exists, it will visit Karla. Here's wishing Universal Balance is a real thing.
