Blu-Review: Julia’s Eyes

Blu-Review: Julia’s Eyes
Julia’s Eyes might not be perfect, and could certainly benefit from the hands of a less merciful editor, but Guillem Morales’s film delivers B-movie thrills with A-grade artistry. The story strays a bit too much into convoluted and silly territory, but the thick atmosphere and abundance of...

The outdated visuals and generic story are a shame, but while Section 8: Prejudice never particularly redefines the first-person shooter genre, it does push the boundaries of what you expect from a downloadable title.
