When I sat down to watch "Let's Scare Julie", I must admit that I had not heard about the movie, but after having read the synopsis I did expect a bit more from the movie than what it actually turned out to be.
First of all, the storyline as concocted by writer and director Jud Cremata just wasn't interesting enough. It actually felt like the writing was done at random, because the movie was a bit all over the place. And when the movie came to an end, I must say that I was left with an overwhelming sensation of having wasted my time with watching this fairly incoherent mess of a storyline.
And it didn't really help the movie much that the events that took place throughout the prolonged playing was of little or no interest, much less having any particular feel of thrill or dread to it. So as a horror/thriller then "Let's Scare Julie" was anything but scary. Perhaps adding a "not" into the title would be more accurate; "Let's Not Scare Julie".
The acting in the movie was actually fair enough, but the actresses were severely limited in their performances given the weak script and storyline, and also the fact that the characters were rather bland and bordering on being pointless.
I managed to sit through this 2020 movie, but I wasn't entertained by what transpired on the screen. My rating of "Let's Scare Julie" is based mostly on the production level of the movie and to some extend the performances. My rating lands on a mere three out of ten stars. This movie was not worth the time or effort really, if I have to be blunt. So writer and director failed to deliver a movie that caught my attention, much less entertain me.
