Julia X 3D reviewed at Fantasy Film Festival


If you're in Germany go check out Julia X 3D at the Fantasy Film Festival

Julia X - 3D

This internet date has gone thoroughly wrong. Bound and gagged Julia finds herself in the clutches of a perverse kidnapper. But she manages to escape from the remote location where “The Stranger“ has carried her. Together with her sister Jessica she now wants to turn the tables, and shortly thereafter all are entangled in a game of cat and mouse where no-one is what he or she seems to be. Only one thing is certain... a lot of blood will flow.

It is best to know as little as possible about the incredible film debut of director P.J. Pettiette, who is otherwise known as a producer. JULIA X is one of the few low-budget 3D movies that really deserves the addition to the title; for a finer three-dimensional view is rarely to be seen in cinema, in which the spatial depth is finally tangible as such. This rather intense shocker cunningly plays with each and every expectation of the audience, in the guise of a jet-black comedy. On the way to the final confrontation it dishes up a few selected atrocities, but thanks to the totally wacky over-the-top dramaturgy they don’t end in a splatter-overkill. JULIA X is an off-key, blood-soaked horror fun in a fancy look; somehow you would never have believed that actors like ex-HERCULES Kevin Sorbo or the human flesh mountain Ving Rhames are capable of those satirical evil side strokes. Definitely a ’must’ movie!

“Azlynn’s willowy and aptly wayward performance as Julia laces the film with sexuality and mania. … Kevin Sorbo is dead-on perverse … a mesmeric nutcase. Completing the terrible threesome, Alicia Leigh Willis is Lolita-ish alluring as the twisted little sister.” The Hollywood Reporter
“JULIA X borders on the creation of a new genre known as torture porn comedy.” 21st Century 3D
