In this collection of three stories, an emotionally abused
wife finds comfort in the arms of her brother-in-law, a young
dancer undertakes an erotic and redemptive pilgrimage to Rome
involving live sex shows and nude photography, and a femme
fatale looks into a mirror as she recalls a sadomasochistic
love affair...
Try
imagining an erotic version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents,
and you'll have some idea of what this DVD series is like.
Only less well made. Producer Tinto Brass has little direct
involvement with these short films, apart from introducing
each one while puffing away characteristically on a cigar,
and making the occasional cameo appearance.
Though
the productions claim to have been directed in the "Tinto
Brass style", there is scant evidence of it here. Only in
A Magic Mirror is there any hint of Brass's eccentricity,
in the grotesque character of a brusque layabout husband (Ronaldo
Ravello), who spends much of his screen time lounging around
in a bath, like the captain of the B-Ark in The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. But, although this tale displays
the most humour in the entire collection, it also shows off
the least amount of bare flesh, which is surely another important
ingredient that the audience will be expecting.
Things
get sexier in Julia, the story from which this collection
takes its name, which includes some particularly explicit
and highly charged sex scenes. Unfortunately, the plot is
almost totally incomprehensible - something to do with a dancer
(Anna Biella) going to Rome, but wildly at odds with the description
on the back of the sleeve, which mentions a photographer's
three beautiful models. I counted two of them at the most.
This production is also blighted by amateurish editing, which
leaves several gaping holes in the soundtrack. Oh well, at
least this DVD is subtitled, which spares us from woeful English
dubbing of the type recently heard on Brass's Private.
The
final tale, I Am the Way You Want Me, is a very weird
and nasty little minx. In it, a naked woman (Fiorella Rubino)
sprawls around in her bathroom, mouthing various strange utterances
to camera, and doing erotic things to herself, such as shaving
with a fearsome-looking cutthroat razor (shudder). And that's
about it.
A
further disappointment is the lack of any extra features.
So, all in all, this DVD has left me feeling rather brassed
off!

Wrong Turn Camrip Better -
Waiting for the official streaming, VOD, or Blu-ray release is universally recommended for horror fans.
Let’s be real. No. If the 4K Blu-ray is a steak dinner, the "Wrong Turn Camrip Better" is a gas station hot dog. But sometimes you are starving at 2:00 AM and the steakhouse is closed.

Audience chatter, laughing, or coughing in the theater can completely ruin a jumpscare or a quiet, tense moment.
Think about it: You’re watching a scene where Eliza Dushku is hiding in a rusted pickup truck. On the official track, you hear simple foley—wind, creaking metal. On the Camrip, you hear the guy in the theater whisper, “Don’t go in the back, girl, don’t you go in the back.” Waiting for the official streaming, VOD, or Blu-ray
The screams, the crunching, and the terrifying silence are only truly effective with professional-grade audio.

You know the one. The shaky, out-of-focus AVI file that lived on LimeWire or Kazaa. The one with the graveyard green tint, the silhouettes of people walking in front of the projector, and the distant sound of a man coughing up a lung in row C. That specific file—usually labeled wrong_turn_final_cd1.avi —is not a poor substitute for the DVD. It is the superior version.
