Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
begob Depressed girl avenges the rape committed on her by annoying frat-boy types.Second time I've watched this, and I really didn't get anything more than the first time.Music is great, photography impressive, the actresses look so good in close up. The lead actress in particular has a fascinating face, and I do like a fringe with over-sized spectacles (prescription or not).But I kept checking every ten minutes how long there was to go. I can't put my finger on it, but the story doesn't compel my interest. A revenger is usually a black & white story that uses explicit violence to keep audience interest - the only explicit violence here is a clock-sice scene, which left me wondering, "The balls! Why not chop off the balls?" The weird cult thingy doesn't cohere, although the final scene does make sense. In other words, depressed girl ends up just as depressed as she was at the start. C'est la vie. But that's a documentary, isn't it?Seriously, this needed black humour - maybe the writer/director/producer should have sought creative input. Very impressive in his style, but it deserved something more.
megahort-31386 Ghost Whisperer meets the Devil.Revenge movies are always unpleasant to watch. But Julia has an underbelly that is dark.On the surface it's just another revenge story, but beneath that is the occult, Julia's helpers are more like demons than people.They take her in her weakness and turn her into one of them.She goes from destroyed, to destroyer.She becomes like the devil, stealing men away from life.If you look at these mentors as the symbols of demons, and not human, as they appear to be, this movie really takes shape.
Alex Eastaugh I just watched this film and came away completely surprised by it. At first I thought it was just another run of the mill horror flicks as I didn't watch any trailers and just went on the movie artwork. How wrong was I. I was so impressed by this film I logged onto IMDb hoping to see some well written reviews of this gem but to my shock Im presented with a 4.4 score!! Who is coming up with this stuff?Let me just make this simple for you, if you liked the film Drive and don't mind a bit of violence and want a strong female lead then this is the film for you.Fantastic score and visuals and a real moody vibe to the whole thing. Yeah, some scenes are a little bit unnecessary but I can totally let it off.Great flick.7/10
in1984 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.
