Director: Paul Nicholas
Starring: Anthony Franciosa, Sybil Danning, Isabelle Mejias
A teenage girl whose inaction caused her mother’s death arranges a similarly gruesome fate for her stepmother and brother.
Categorized as horror, ‘Julie Darling’ is more of a psychological horror, and the evil that men do – or as it turns out in this case, the evil that a teenage girl does.
Julie hates her mother (who is always complaining about everything), and she adores her father…well, maybe too much. She’s in love with him. When Julie’s mother is accidentally killed by a delivery boy, Weston – which Julie could have prevented – Julie seems almost overjoyed at the fact she will now be alone with her father, Harold.
It turns out Harold has been having an affair with the beautiful Susan. When he invites Susan and her son Dennis along to his country house, Julie is upset and jealous. She was hoping to spend the time alone with her father (I would too!!).
Julie’s evil intentions intensifies as she puts a plan into motion to get rid of Susan. People are always so eager to believe ‘innocent’ children, but this movie should serve as a wake-up call. The film has a well set-up plot, which kept me engaged throughout.
Would I watch it again? Yes.
