"She's Just At A Very Difficult Age, That's All!"...
In JULIE DARLING, Harold and his wife, Irene (Anthony Franciosa and Cindy Girling), are in conflict over their daughter, Julie (Isabelle Mejias). Harold spoils her, while Irene seems to be the only one that's aware of the girl's bad behavior. For her part, Julie prefers her pet Boa constrictor over human company. Her interests include hunting and surgery.
When it's decided to send Julie away to boarding school, mum uses the opportunity to get rid of the snake. She soon dies tragically. Julie and dad mourn for about three seconds.
Enter Susan (Sybil Danning), dad's new wife. Julie hates her and the fact that she has a young son. We know this because she eyes the boy like an owl looks at a field mouse! Harold is, as always, limply oblivious.
When Julie spies on Harold and Susan in bed, things really get weird! Let's just say that Julie's a little too fond of dad!
This is a decent, though rather tiresome thriller, saving most of its twisted action for the gonzo finale (aka: the last 14 minutes). However, it's worth the wait!...
