Nice effects though.

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.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

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.

Look. To start off with this movie had no real character or character development. At least any that I payed attention to. The acting was below average, the actress playing Julia looks like she's about to pass out...... The whole movie! I could go on about other revenge horror flicks that could top this easily but let's face it if your at this point then your probably gonna watch this garbage anyway. That being said there were a couple of moments that could of had potential but the director just didn't make the grade. The soundtrack at times kinda filled in where the atmosphere was lacking but in the end I don't think even a full orchestra could have saved the end result.Bloody..... Yeah a little. Story...... Yeah a little. Acting..... Ummmm No. Overall Enjoyment..... Hell No.

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!

Newbie feature director Matt Brown clearly saw this as his "breakout" work.Other IMDb reviewers have covered the basic story arc. Sort of an "I Spit on Your Grave" #45, with long stretches of zero dialog, lots of goofy lighting, editing so frenetic you might think you imbibed a forbidden substance before viewing -- even if you did not -- and lighting that favors the dark end of the spectrum, which simply adds to the mayhem that is this very forgettable film.Not to mention that, if the film should bomb financially, it could be re-packaged as a Youtube how-to on male castration.So, since we are already knee-deep into this review (or, at least, knee-deep into SOMETHING) let's go a bit deeper.The core problem with this kind of film -- AND THIS IS IRONY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL -- is that, if you are a film-maker with artistic aspirations, globalization (where films made in one country are intended for distribution in another) has wiped out what used to be called, in decades past, the "art house" market.Note that even Tarantino tried to point this out in his own work by trying to "bring back" the genre.So -- here is the premise of the review, please work with me on this -- even as Modern Society has become so homogenized that opportunities for archetypal rituals of male bonding have been reduced or disappeared, the entertainment biz has similarly reduced or disappeared the opportunities for a film-maker to produce something done primarily to exhibit artistic expression.To simplify: Limited male bonding opportunities in modern society (can't go to the nearest village ... and pillage) have left (sad to say) gang-rape as one of the few activities that can be attempted today. Even if the aforesaid participants did not really want to commit the act in the first place.Limited genres of commercially accepted film have left the so-called horror film as one of the only remaining genres in which a director with artistic intent can unleash that intent with any expectation of commercial success ... even if he did not actually want to make a horror film in the first place.So, the ultimate irony, you have men committing an act they did not actually want to commit (because of limited opportunities) and film-makers memorializing said act because there is no opportunity to make the film they really want to make.Alternative point of view: if you consider the above to be overkill, let me simply say this is a terrible movie and if you want to see the same theme done correctly, find a copy of American MARY.
