Rehab for anything can be a real bitch. Especially if an unorthodox treatment is sought but not followed to the letter. The result could well be psychological damage with horrific consequences. Enter Julia Shames, a meek and mild clinician at a thriving plastic surgery business, who dates the wrong guy and ends up being drugged and gang-raped by his friends. Catatonic after suffering such brutal trauma she hears about a new kind of therapy being whispered about for her damaged condition as practised by the mysterious Dr. Sgundud. What that restorative cure entails takes Julia into a whole new shadowy area of her personality, one that teaches her how not to become a victim anymore and transforms her into an empowered Angel of Vengeance.

An average exploitation flick with surprisingly fine visuals and an uninspired idea, but what good is it when there is no room for boldness (the gore is missing, the rape is weaker) Only an attractive protagonist, quite a lot of bizarreness and a slight dose of disquiet. 55%.

This is a film where you get the feeling that the creators tried really hard to approach the material differently, to create an impression of darkness and pervasive depression, but somehow forgot about the other factors. I tend to prefer films with more plot-driven narratives, and ultimately Julia is nothing more than another revenge film that doesn't really bring anything new to the table. There's definitely more to be gleaned from the topic.
