What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreThe film has had mixed reviews, but lets start with the positives.The 3D is superb. It is, undoubtedly, one of the best uses of 3D tech I have ever seen: the feathers, dust, everything combines to give an amazing depth of field that is just breath-taking.The premise and the twist is brilliant. Totally did not see that coming. The idea was brilliant.Alas, the execution was less so. The scenes are ridiculously violent, the characters are skin deep and much of the decisions by the characters are non-nonsensical. Basically, it feels like they filmed a first draft.Which is a shame, because there are elements of this film that suggested it could be a cult classic. It's worth 90 minutes of your time to watch. Especially in 3D. It is not worth buying.
... View MoreJulia (Valerie Azlynn) is a young woman dating a stranger (Kevin Sorbo) that she met on the Internet in a bar. Out of the blue, she decides to leave the man and goes to the parking lot. However, the stranger abducts her and brands her thigh with the letter "X". Then he brings Julia and a corpse of a woman in his truck to dump the body in the middle of nowhere. However Julia flees from him and hides in an old house. The man hunts her but she subdues him. Then she calls her sister Jessica (Alicia Leigh Willis) and they bring him to her house. Soon the stranger learns that the sisters are deranged and is tortured by them. What will happen to the man?"Julia X" is a B-movie with a promising storyline of cat-and-mouse game. However the execution is flawed and the gore story is lost between horror and black comedy. In the end, "Julia X" is too silly for horror and the black humor is not funny. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "A Vingança de Julia" ("The Revenge of Julia")
... View MoreThe edit is sh*t, the music is sh*t, the places are sh*t, directing is sh*t, ale the movie is a total crap.. BUTthe story is so f*cking awesome :D I really enjoyed this creation. first 20 minutes were hard, and I was really going to switch it off.. But then.. happened something I just could not do it any more.. so I left it play. I will never regret this decision :DGreat! I wish you all the best And to enjoy it just as I did :)Best story ever! :Dthe story is so no predictable at some point you just start to watch it and enjoy. There is a lot of humor in this.. so called horror. I would not say it is a horror or a thriller movie. It is a black comedy. A forgotten genre :)
... View MoreThis one starts off really bad. It starts like a B movie that you made a mistake taking a chance on, but give it time it turns out to be fun.So this is one of those dangers of internet dating tales in the beginning, a hot girl gets kidnapped by a serial killer and is seemingly his next victim, She escapes and with the help of her hot sister turns the tables.OK, so this is a B-movie, Kevin Sorbo is in it and that should say enough to turn and run away screaming "NO." The main character Julia (Valerie Azlynn) is hot enough to keep you watching as a guy, and when her sister, Jessica (Alicia Leigh Willis) gets into the action it just ends up being a fun, comedy, horror flick. Nothing thought provoking, the script is lame enough that it makes for a decent laugh. A lot of violence, some blood, the only thing that could have made this B movie any better would be if the Women showed some more skin and threw in some good sex scenes.This is what a B movie should be. Fun, twisted Fun. I was amazed I would enjoy this movie, but I did, 7 stars for me.
