Disappointment for a huge fan!
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
I just saw this movie at the Puerto Rico Horror Film Festival. I was surprised that it had a 4.4 score on IMDb. This is a great rape/revenge film with an original twist with a strong lead character, good rhythm, suspense and horror. To make a better comparison, I am a cult fan of "I Spit On Your Grave" (the original) but I admit this movie was very slow and I had to jump to the more interesting scenes. But Julia kept my attention all the time. I wasn't bored for one minute. Matthew A. Brown's script was wonderful and he directed the movie in a great way. Ashley C. Williams captured did an amazing job performing a victim and then a hunter, her transformation from a shy woman to a "femme fatale" was extraordinary. When this movie comes out on DVD I will buy it for sure.
This film has been called a revenge fantasy. A lonely young woman meets a guy on a date, but he drugs her, she is gang-raped, and dumped by the river. She doesn't report the rape but meets a mysterious woman who refers her to what has been called a therapist, a man whose therapy includes some rather gory stuff.Needless to say this is also very nasty, all the more so because our damsel is a mouse-like creature who clearly needs a little kindness rather than to be thrown into some bizarre plot hatched by a psychopath on the pretext of helping people like her. Instead, she is dragged down to below the level of even her violators. At the end of the day this film isn't simply deeply unpleasant, it is more than a little confusing. Don't waste your time on it.
6.5 of 10. While the Saw films accomplished the same modern-day, reality-based blood and gore, the extremes and contraptions involved took a willingness to fantasize to believe something like that could happen. With Julia, there's no need for imagination or fantasy and nearly everything that's left to imagination in other films is visualized on screen.Amongst other parts of it to enjoy are the soundtrack integration and the focus of the film. It doesn't try to be something more or imply something other than what the story is about.What's missing seems to be pacing and acting and a few unedited non-sequiturs. Otherwise, you get a goth/emo-chick horror with some mystery without suffering through make believe monsters or heroes.
Usually I don't like to leave reviews with spoilers but I will in this case because I will be saving you a lot by strongly advising not to watch this trash. The conclusion of this movie is the creation of a terrorist female who likes to kill innocent men and mutilate them in answer to an incident where she was raped. The morality of the entire premise of this film is deeply troubling and disgusting. Moreover, it is extremely depressing through the triumphant ending for the monster female main character.There is good story no good dialog no good suspense or even drama. It is just pure absurdity mixed with gory disgusting scenes. The reason why I included the feminist side in this review is because of this new trend by feminist film makers that produce garbage where female characters who have been raped or assaulted by men, in a transformation where they become the monster and end up getting away with it. This just makes me sick!
