At the dawn of the great movie THE KEEP, This movie hit bottom when it was released into theaters around the same time. With having THE KEEP Being rated R and this movie PG-13 There is found to be no scares and poorly special effects. Especailly Ceaser Romero's wasted performance as Satan. What people had in mind when it was viewed was nothing new, and 'Judgement Day' is so terrible no suspense can be found here.
Sank like the Titanic.

JUDGEMENT DAY is not inept, except that the title is misspelled. There are some scenes of good suspense and Gothic atmosphere, and some of the performances (especially Monte Markham) are decent. Four college kids become trapped in Santana, a cursed town in which each year the ol' devil returns to claim some new souls. The college kids are not typically dumb movie teenagers, either, so they try to escape with the help of a priest. You won't find this movie in too many top-10 best film lists (but you won't find The KEEP on these lists, either).
This movie to many people is a cheesy low budget piece of trash. The concept however, is what saves this picture in my eyes. The ending while considered predictable by some will still throw a few people. It has it's strong points. Ceaser Romero adds something to the movie. It's more or less a fun no brainer with a twist. Not award quality, but a good late night creature feature.
This movie is so cool. I saw it in my adolescence, and now I wish I could find a copy to own and cherish. I loved the idea for this movie so much, that I plagiarized the story for my seventh grade creative writing class and received an 'A' on it! There's something about the cinematography and scenery that just captures the oppressive heat and humidity of the area that lends the overall film a very sinister undertone. My buddy and I rented this flick from a little "mom and pop shop" in our small town over summer vacation. It was so hot that summer and my parents didn't have air conditioning, but the basement was always cool and damp. So I'd rent all these great cheesy horror flicks to get out of the heat. I'd sit in my darkened basement and my buddy and I would just get the biggest kick outta these movies. Judgement Day was one of my favorites. A couple others that I have fond memories of are: The Curse of the Blue Lights, Spookies, 9 1/2 Ninjas, Popcorn, The Howling, and Dolls. What can I say? I love this movie... And I can't wait to get a copy of this... I can almost feel the preteen hormonal excitement rushing over me again in a nostalgic euphoria. Definitely check out this movie if you're so fortunate as to come across it.
I rented this some time ago ...the front of the box showed the devil on it and from there it caught my attention ...the movie was shot in Mexico..the location was great..and then when night rolled around it got downright creepy..some reviewers said this movie had a low budget and no suspence...while the budget is low compared to other films..i have disagree with the suspence part...any time when you have a movie with two normal people trapped in a place that they wish the could get out of...thats suspeneful..i recomend this movie.
