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.

zmorganchiswick Compelling, for the first 30 minutes of the film when the audience is left wondering what this magical form of therapy is that can free a rape victim from regret. When you realise that it involves cutting dicks off things go South a little. I appreciate the concept that to truly become empowered you have to focus on the enemy in general and not the specific offender. But that doesn't last long and satisfyingly our Heroine cannot resist and punishes the 'nice guy' who raped her, but he really didn't want to. I enjoyed the way this film went full arc. Julia does drink some vodka, hate f**k and castrate some guys, become a lesbian and torture her offenders but it offers something slightly different from the torture porn genre.The villain reveal is disappointing but Julia and her aptly named lesbian lover 'Sadie', tag team him to the death. Right before Julia realises Sadie has betrayed her and she kills that bitch too. No riding off into the hoo ha coloured sunset for them.Let's just say there have been better but there certainly have been worse. An interesting idea with a very typical execution. Yeah, why not?

Vivekmaru45 At least that film was an experience that cannot be forgotten easily. The main point I didn't like with Julia is the shoddy execution of the script. Any capable director would rise to the occasion, but debutante director Matthew A. Brown fails to make any headway with his film.A really poor cast of characters, with no veteran player to lead them. The background sound-effects are mediocre and do not produce any thrills. The photography and lighting are excellent, but because of the dull plot, all the efforts that were spent by the cameraman are wasted.The film is about a woman called Julia (Ashley C. Williams) who arrives at someone's apartment and is invited in. Probably she may have been dating the guy through the internet, but this is never revealed in the film. This man gives Julia a drink spiked with succinylcholine. As she lays totally incapacitated, some friends of of this man arrive. Later on, while fully aware but paralyzed, she is brutally raped by this man and his friends. Afterwards, these men dump her near a riverfront and depart. Julia slowly recovers after the drug wears off. She manages to make her way home, where the viewer discovers that Julia has spent most of her life being abused by various tormentors and has turned to self-harm as a result. Later Julia overhears someone discussing a therapy that has rape victims taking back power from their attackers. She's introduced to Dr. Sgundud (Jack Noseworthy) through the mysterious Sadie (Tahyna Tozzi) and through Sgrundud's teachings Julia begins to target various men as a way to empower herself by humiliating them. Julia eventually decides to use Sgrundud's methods to seek revenge against her rapists. But unknown to her, Dr. Sgundud has a secret agenda of his own...Watch the film to see what happens next.Verdict: See the above mentioned films if you haven't already.
