If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. I found it dark and stylish. I think the cast did an outstanding job, especially Ashley C. Williams. Considering revenge violence is kind of a worn-out genre, this movie managed to bring it a new fresh but a simple pov. A special shout-out to the soundtrack, it is now on my Spotify permanently.

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.

*this review may contain spoilers* I had high hopes for this movie, I tend to enjoy a good revenge tale. But this was almost unwatchable. Firstly, the main character was incredibly unlikable and very difficult to care about. She shows absolutely no emotion apart from the occasional tear we see roll down her cheek. She's stoic and barely speaks throughout the entire film. Then there's the issue with the plot making absolutely no sense! Everything that happens is completely illogical. So many things go unexplained. Why oh why are there so many slow motion sequences? There are a few cool and interesting uses of cinematography but I don't understand why there are so many parts where they just randomly shoot the lead character in slow motion. I think they intended for this to be cool, edgy and artsy but it just makes it seem tedious.*spoilers ahead*This movie had me scratching my head in confusion at so many points.Why did she and the rest of the cult kill innocent people? Is it some sort or crime for a man to flirt? Does a man flirting with a woman in a bar mean he should be castrated?Why did the random guy follow her to her apartment without any invitation?Why were there so many lesbian make out scenes while they were covered in blood?Why did she kill her lover in the end?What was the deal with the scene at the end with the therapist torturing her?Am I the only one that wishes they'd explained this cult she got involved in a little more???Are we supposed to enjoy watching a mousy, stoic girl lose her mind and become a monster?Bottom line. This movie is pretentious and confusing; ultimately very unsatisfying and poorly done. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Well, unless they enjoy watching men being castrated in vivid detail for no good reason.

One of the worst films I have seen this year, it is just ridiculous that people get away with making these types of abominations. We have seen the set up before; mousy girl is raped, physically and mentally damaged, seeks revenge. It was done in I Spit on Your Grave, Last House on the Left, etc. and there is a reason why these movies simply retread the same territory with little variation. Where you can vary (such as inventive kills), the movie skips these over almost completely, instead opting to showcase the aftermath. Why make a revenge film if you are going to censor it so heavily? Give me something visceral, gut wrenching and horrific, not this made-for-Chiller-T.V. snooze fest that left me with more questions than I started out with. The acting was decent (surprisingly), and the only real stand out was the soundtrack; Japanese vocals, heavy bass and inventive rhythms make this an audible treat. But the movie itself is so utterly banal, that I was exasperated mind way through at the lack of anything interesting happening, and by the end I was just glad that it was over. Disappointing is an understatement. It was just a weak experience overall.
