Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

shawnblackman This is a rape/revenge film that differs a little bit from the others. Julia is a plastic surgeons assistant who agrees to a date at a man's house only to be drugged then later raped by four men.While debating what to do she learns of a therapy group that caters to her need for revenge. This is an off the grid group that teaches you confidence and how to kill rapists by actually taking you on a field trip to kill a rapist as a group effort. She gets deeply involved with the group and soon breaks their cardinal rule of killing without telling them.Some squeamish scenes and tense ones as well but worth the 90 minute trip. A few extra layers in the plot make it worth it.

skelyrata 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.

ZULFIQAR RAJA 'Julia' is a film, which covers the genre of rape and revenge by portraying the story through the mind of the victim. Ashley Williams delivers a stirring performance as a timid woman who is brutally attacked and finds herself trying to recover by joining a violent cult. This movie is strange but innovative which is hard to watch at times yet it's dark and disturbing atmosphere adds to the shocking nature of the story. Many people who have slated this film as a cheap rip off of 'I spit on your grave' have not understood what it is showing and how it is different. This film does not focus on revenge itself but instead on the loss of control driven by the madness and fury within the mind of the victim. The film is extremely explicit and it is meant to be so that the viewer enters the mind of 'Julia Shames' and shares in her need for revenge.

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.
