Julia X is an American horror film released in 2011.

action

Julia meets a male chat acquaintance in a restaurant, but ends the date early. When she is about to go home, the stranger overpowers her and forces her to go to his house. In his garage, he ties her hands and hangs them on a hook hanging from the ceiling. While he is shaving, Julia is able to loosen her bonds and hides in the garage. When the stranger finds her there, he marks her with an "X" on her right buttock. He ties her up again and loads her into a small van, which he drives off. While driving, a corpse falls out of a trap. When the stranger buries this next to a pump, Julia gets the keys for the handcuffs stored in the car and flees with a shovel through a cotton field to a crumbling country house on a swamp, where the stranger follows her. There he snaps and hits her, but Julia escapes again, this time by means of a rowboat to a crumbling school. There too, Julia and the stranger play a game of cat and mouse until they can spray the contents of a spray can into a bag and pull it over the stranger's head. When she pulls the unconscious man out of school, her sister Jessica drives up in the car. You load the stranger in the trunk and drive home.

There the stranger and the women chase their way through the house until the women tie the stranger to a chair with barbed wire and pour vodka into his wounds. In brief flashbacks, you learn that the women's father was a pedophile. It is also later learned that he hit her mother. Julia developed protective reflexes for Jessica, who is tired of her because she wants to be the bait sometimes. While Julia is asleep, Jessica kidnaps a young man named Sam from the garage across the street, blindfolds him and ties him to a chair opposite the stranger's.

Julia is angry that Jessica kidnapped Sam, but Jessica sticks to her opinion. When she tries to hit Sam a big nail in the head, the stranger says that she is not able to do so anyway, whereupon Jessica hammers the two nails into the stranger's feet instead.

Jessica gives the stranger a side cutter with which he can free himself. He pours vodka over his own wounds, which he clearly enjoys. Then he takes off Sam's blindfold and gags him with it instead. When the stranger attacks Julia in the bathtub, Jessica steps in and another hunt through the house begins. Julia first frees Sam before joining in.

The hunt ends with the stranger lying unconscious in the winter garden of the now completely devastated house. Julia and Jessica hug when Jessica sticks Julia in the stomach with scissors. Julia goes to the ground and Jessica repeatedly stabs the stranger in the chest with the scissors, which she then dismantles and wraps in plastic bags. Then she sets the house on fire.

The film ends with Jessica, now called Julia Y, meeting a new chat acquaintance in the well-known restaurant. When the man follows her to the toilet, a love game seems to begin, but Jessica stabs the man in the left eye.

After a short credits you can see Julia's burned left arm in the rubble of the burned house, how the left hand opens and tries to reach for something.

publication

The FSK also saw the revision as a serious risk to young people in the film and therefore refused to release the intended theatrical release. However, the SPIO / JK saw it differently and did not consider the film to be a serious threat to young people . The unabridged version marked as such has been on loan since October 2, 2012 and has also been available for purchase since November 15. The unabridged version was indexed on part A of the list by the Federal Inspectorate at the end of February 2013.

In the third attempt it was possible to get no youth release from the FSK for a version shortened by more than 2 minutes , which is therefore index-proof. This purchase version appears at the same time as the unabridged one.

criticism

For Christian Ihle from taz , the film was a " slutwalk " that has become a horror trash film . He therefore praised the socio-political statement and found "especially the middle phase also entertaining". However, he called the first half hour (the part of the film in which the stranger chases Julia) terrible.
