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 and reviled serial killers, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka in the 1990s.

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 the victims, Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy, have alleged that the film is 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 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 of some sponsors of 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.
