I just watched this film and came away completely surprised by it. At first I thought it was just another run of the mill horror flicks as I didn't watch any trailers and just went on the movie artwork. How wrong was I. I was so impressed by this film I logged onto IMDb hoping to see some well written reviews of this gem but to my shock Im presented with a 4.4 score!! Who is coming up with this stuff?
Let me just make this simple for you, if you liked the film Drive and don't mind a bit of violence and want a strong female lead then this is the film for you.
Fantastic score and visuals and a real moody vibe to the whole thing. Yeah, some scenes are a little bit unnecessary but I can totally let it off.
Great flick.

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.
Twisted blood fest , teen rape revenge, castrations and gore.
quiet shy girl turns into belladonna with drugs, knives and scalpels.
decent acting, great soundtrack, average effects, basic plot and story.
spit on my grave rip off to be fair , however, worth a spin
i sometimes wonder just what exactly has gone wrong with both human and cinema evolution that tired old movies about criminal acts and revenge are still being made all be it a female revenge this time but that's hardly anything new what with i spit on your grave, ms45 and various others over the years... Julia is your standard seen it all before nasty rape, left for dead, seeks out and takes revenge on the men who assaulted her type movie, it doesn't leave you feeling thrilled or excited or good or empowered, it just leaves you questioning why you wasted time with it and how come you just never fast forwarded it to its clichéd predictable ending... i do appreciate actors, camera people sound technicians etc all need to make a living and maybe for them this was just another job and a few weeks work but i really don't see how anyone involved could seriously expect the film to be anything other then a very minor success at best... 3/10
Let me first state that I am completely taken aback by a comment/review that states that men have nothing better to do than rape women (socially-wise) when they meet up. That's putting it in a nutshell, which is still just plain wrong on many different levels. I'm not a fan of the "genre" (if you can call it that), but this movie tries to put some other layers to the whole thing (not that they all work out perfectly, quite the opposite).
But the movie has some strong points (even things I don't agree with) and takes a bit of different path as to what you would expect. It kind of mixes another factor into the whole revenge thing. Not worked out perfectly and the one thing I do wholly agree with the other reviewer is that "American Mary" is far superior. But it wouldn't be fair to judge this movie like that. The technical aspect might not be up to speed with other productions, but this is low budget, no matter how much globalization has evolved ...
