Julia X

In the intro we find out a serial killer is on the loose. He brands women with a letter and kills them.

Julia and a guy are on a date. They are attracted to each other, so much so that Julia fantasizes about him but cuts the date short and leaves. Somehow, they guy manages to be in her car as she gets in it and kidnaps her. He takes her to some garage where he cleans up and shaves. She's hanging from some wires but frees herself. He finds her and brands her with an X. He drives her out to the country where he dumps another corpse in the ground. Julia escapes again, makes it a house--which is his house. They beat each other up. She escapes to some other building. He goes after her, they beat each other up some more, she knocks him out. A car arrives. It's Julia's sister, Jessica. They put the guy in the trunk and take him to their house where they torture him.

We learn a bit about the girls' childhood and their problem with men. They also have problems with each other. Julia is the dominant one and doesn't let Jessica do anything. Jessica wants to take charge, she wants to kill. So she goes to a neighbor and seduces him, takes him home and puts him in a chair with the other guy. As the two talk we learn something about the stranger. He could free himself and the neighbor and escape.

Instead, he frees himself and goes after his date so they can beat each other up. He's a masochist and enjoys it...and so does Julia but she doesn't realize it until late into the movie.

Julia X features plenty of violence against women, against men, and lots of torture. If that bothers you, then this movie isn't for you. It also has a strong performance by Kevin Sorbo. Unfortunately you can't really have an entire movie on the basis of violence. It all gets too repetitive. The character of Jessica is a bit too wacky, considering things. The concept is actually a good one, even somewhat original, but more story was needed.

This 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.

What did I just watch?!? 25 mins in and I nearly shut it off, 30 mins in I and was WTF, rest of the movie was an offbeat comedy bloodfest. Most things about this are bad, but because of that(and a little patience😉) it ends up being a watchable flick that had me laughing.

Don't expect this movie to make any sense. There are lots of continuity errors, and the directing is simply awful at times. You will find yourself wondering why a character did or said what they did on more than several occasions.

I completely understand why this movie has such a poor rating, and I myself have rated it poorly, however, from the meagre helping of existing reviews for this title suggest, there is definitely an audience for this kind of thing. I'm not sure if it's a B-movie in the traditional sense, but it is definitely along those lines.

If blood and violence is your thing, and 'kind of' attractive girls, and if you're really not bothered for things making any kind of sense what-so-ever, or the plot driving the film, or the script being good in any way shape or form, then this film might just entertain you for the short amount of time that it runs for. And for me personally, I was glad it was so short! I'm giving this 2 out of 10, just for the fact that I managed to watch it from start to finish. I will not be watching it again, nor shall i be recommending it, unless of course I find myself in a conversation with someone who likes dumb ass movies with violent bitches and lots of blood...

After a decent turn as Hercules, TV's Kevin Sorbo has been doing C Grade straight to video fare for some years now. This is one if his better efforts.

Its just as well this movie doesn't take itself seriously. This movie, Julia X, is a throw back to those rape revenge flicks that proliferated the 70s B Grade shelves in video stores everywhere.

Some pretty trusting young stupid, but ultimately psychotically vengeful hot young woman, is abused in a variety of ways only to eventually triumphantly wreak her revenge. Anyway, this wont win any awards, but who cares, its a well made campy violent movie that fans of violent campy exploitation cinema will enjoy. 6/10
