The 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.

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...

The final twist is worthy of a low -level screenwriter simply because more than a twist is a situation created only to annoy those who watch the film, but if a person has a chest of intelligence, he understands that the intent was not to create a real stroke in thriller style but only irritate the viewer but the human stupid has no limits, no person would have done that thing even a psychopath that they do not even know what they do not have to speak With a serial killer profile, but their only interest was to create something stupid end.

Show do not tell is an important thing.
But it gets even stranger when a movie is not explained at all.
Hercules is in this film and he is clearly the best character. But that's like saying herpes is the best kind of sexually transmitted disease.
What was the worst thing about the movie? Worst of all is that everyone in this movie is incredibly stupid And I do not mean that they do not know about some things or are just as stupid as in a horror movie behavior but they are really uneducated and do not know or understand what is good for them and what they should do best.
How could you save the movie? It's hard to sum up the movie on your own or retell the plot. You turn another one or think about what you want to say exactly and which genre is actually represented here because many things in this movie feel like a comedy and others like a cheap drama. The ugly 3D effects only make for eye cancer, the terrible dialogues are responsible for ear cancer and the longer thinking about this movie makes for soul cancer.
Just do not watch this movie.

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.

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

I wasn't really into this one I don't know it wasn't something I haven't seen before, the storyline seemed kinda stupid, stupid characters that I didn't care about and seeing the actor who plays Hercules in this made me feel sad because I'm sure he can play in better films. The only good thing was how good looking the actors were.

And I'm not talking about the 3-D effects (though I did like them, because they are showing depth, rather then jumping out of the screen at you). While the movie starts of conventionally and very straightforward it soon leaves that path (no pun intended) and strays to other areas. You might hold this against the movie, but I think it's one the strongest points it has going for it.
The wonderful Kevin Sorbo is having a great time and hopefully so will you. It is very much tongue in cheek (sometimes even literally) and after a strange opening the movie does not disappoint. If you are into Non-PC humor that is of course. Because it can go to very dark places and it is very explicit at times (gore-wise). A great movie, that was much better than I could have expected.

God, did I enjoyed this flick. You just have to watch it without thinking and you will have a lot of fun with two hot chicks and a lot of red stuff.
It is P.J. Pettiette first attempt to direct a horror but being a producer of a few horrors it shows clearly that the director knew his stuff. It's a flick with a great twist that you just couldn't see coming. It all starts off when Julia (Valerie Azlynn) met a stranger (Kevin Sorbo) via internet not knowing that he is a serial killer. From the first minutes the red stuff comes in. Both Julia and the stranger are believable. Of course Julia tries to escape and once she tries it this flick becomes something different and from that point Jessica (Alicia Leigh Willis)comes into the story, the sister of Julia.
This flick is full of red stuff but it never becomes gory. Still, if you take it seriously then you will hate this but just watch it as a no-brainer. The only thing it is missing is of course some nudity. There is a bath scene with Julia but nothing is shown.
Towards the end you will have a laugh on your face and the end scene is so predictable and funny, yes, I liked it a lot. And I liked Kevin although a lot hate him.

First and foremost, Ving Rhames who gets his name on the cover and who was the main reason I got interested in watching this movie is barely in it
He's in it in the very last scene for exactly 94 seconds, that is it
So yeah if you're like me a Ving Rhames fan watch something else
As far as the movie goes, I expected more of an action movie tbh, but I have no problems with the horror genre, in fact it's one of my most watched genres
But this is just not very horrifying
It's a somewhat typical 'lure you into my house where I can torture you and no one can hear you scream' type of movie
But the twist is that the torturers aren't the typical dirty rednecks instead they are somewhat attractive women
And instead of torturing them in the countryside where no one can hear you scream, they do it in the middle of the city
Where STILL no one can hear you scream (for some odd reason)
And you can cause all kinds of mayhem and no one can see it (for the same odd reason)
Anyhow the set ups looks exactly like porno scenes with the sisters seducing there victims and the acting is the like as well, nudity free however
Anyhoots the rest of the movie is basically them punching and torturing Kevin Sorbo with a couple twists (kinda) so if you always dreamt about seeing Kevin Sorbo being slapped in the face by a woman then I guess you might find some joy in this, otherwise I would stay clear of this movie
There was a couple of laughs because of how bad it was but overall it was boring and annoying to watch

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.

Instructions: Try make it through the first 20 or so minutes. Stop shaking your head in disbelief - the feeling is endless. Give up hope immediately of any flash of smouldering ladyflesh. The storyline cries out for it but it never comes. Not even the bath scene. Sorry. Search the internet for whoever edited this horror, and check if he has recovered yet. At the time, the man was obviously very ill/stoned/deranged, or all three, probably! Search within you for a fun frame of mind. That way you'll find yourself laughing - slowly at first, and like the film, build to a bloody climax. Watch it with friends, popcorn and beer - lots of it. And suddenly the realisation will click into place. Yep, it's so much worse than bad - it's gorily brilliant! ENJOY!

So Hercules is a seial killer. Or at least Kevin Sorbo's character is.
He kidnaps girls, brands them with an X and kills them. Except when he doesn't.
And when he doesn't, it's not a smart thing.
The story is ridiculous and the acting is non-existent. The woman who plays Julia could not act her way out of a paper bag. She just screams her way all along.
Supposedly this movie had a four million dollar budget. Was 3 mil for Kevin? It's really bad. Like dismal. The plot is totally ridiculous. Not one believeable scene in the entire movie. Just lots of screaming. Like top of lung screaming. It's nearly a burlesque it's so bad.

This is a movie that doesn't take itself seriously and just wants to be fun. It takes the illogical genre of Horror and mixes with with Comedy which really gives it a big boost! It also throws in a unique plot twist that I guarantee you will not see coming.

I saw the film so unlike the other reviewers (11) so far that I feel I should write a review of my own. No sense? Bad continuity? Funny? Stupid? B movie? Trash? Watch it without thinking? Don't take it seriously? No, I saw it very differently. For a while I was thinking why am I wasting time watching this. Lots of blood. Seemed like senseless violence for a time, but I hung in there. After a while it made good sense. Being alert to detail helps. Enough work went into this film that I would not call it a B movie. Acting was quite good. Think of what wife-beating and sexual abuse by a father can do to children. There is anger. Think of disgusting male sexual behavior and what this can do to women. That this can result in aberrant behavior as well as wasted life is how the film makes sense. A commentary on modern society. What happens to people. Abused people do do things many of us would not. There is room for serious thought here. Not pleasant, not funny, not stupid, and not trashy. I would much rather people think seriously of these things. I cannot say I enjoyed the film, but I found it thought provoking. Oh, and one more thing. Plenty of opportunity to throw in gratuitous nudity. They did not, and that also means something.

Kevin Sorbo is only known as 'the stranger' and he is meeting Julia at a cafe on a first meeting date, and Julia suddenly walks out. He follows her and kidnaps her and therein follows a cat and mouse game of escape and capture. But there is more to the story, and what follows is some background for Julia (she and her sister Jessica witnessed her father brutally beating her mother) which turned her into an avenger. There is a lot of gore in this movie, and the budget for blood and bloody make up must be significant. There are a lot of flaws in this movie, so it is difficult to give it a high rating. But it still keeps one interested to see how it will progress.
