JULIA X is a very strange film indeed and that it works at all is down to the talents of writer/director P.J. Pettiette, who brings a ton of high energy slapstick to his production. This twisty-turny thriller turns out to be a black comedy of epic proportions, with virtually no story to drag down the pacing. It's simply a battle of wits between a serial killer and his supposed victims.The film benefits immensely from the presence of former HERCULES star Kevin Sorbo playing the killer. Sorbo is a likable, lovable screen presence and that continues to be the case here; you just can't take him seriously as the villain as his persona is exactly the same. The story sees him taking a woman captive with the intent to kill her, but the tables are turned early on.What follows is a gruelling journey of violence as incredible amounts of pain and torture are inflicted on each of the leading characters in turn. The special effects are effective, yes, but the film's light-hearted feel means that this never ventures into real torture porn territory; the intention is to entertain, not to disgust, so it's surprisingly enjoyable. I usually hate this genre so it's saying something that I enjoyed this one.

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. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 4/5 Comedy 1/5

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.

"Julia X" was a movie that hadn't particularly caught my attention, nor can I claim to have had any knowledge about it before I accidentally came across it and decided to give it a go.The movie started out quite nicely actually, and it was nice to see Kevin Sorbo in a role such as this one. And I will say that he actually pulled it off quite nicely. He has actually done some good work in movies aside from just being known for his work in "Hercules", so if you aren't already familiar with his acting in movies, you should get around to watching some."Julia X" has a story that starts out rather interesting, but unfortunately takes a turn for the worse, story-wise that is, when you learn about what is going on and when the big plot twist is revealed. Sure it was good entertainment and lots of fun, but it was just unrealistic and stupid on a high level. The way the story turned out after that twist was fun enough in itself, but took the story in a very bad direction. That being said, don't get me wrong, because the movie is fun to watch, lots of blood and violence, but it just went steeply downhill at the revealing of the plot twist.Most of the dialogue was alright, but there were moments here and there that makes you cringe and go 'who would say something like that in a situation like that?' So the dialogue had some anchor points that pulled the movie down a bit.There were some moments of continuity problems as well. I was especially impressed with how The Stranger just put back on his boots after having a huge spike driven through both feet and was able to walk about with no difficulty. And also the scene in the restroom where The Man was stabbed in the eye and blood sprayed out everywhere, but the floor was spotless clean in the following scenes (aside from that which ran out underneath his head), that was just amazing. Self-cleaning restroom floor, eh?"Julia X" is a mediocre slasher movie that, in my opinion, fell to the floor horribly when the story took a twist for a very unrealistic approach. But all in all, the movie was entertaining and fun to watch. Just don't watch it with your reality-goggles on. Had they not gone for that somewhat stupid plot twist, then the movie could have been far better.
