Ugggggghhh.
That was my reaction to this movie. My friends and I surmise that it was created on a budget of maybe $100, filmed on a personal camcorder, and was (stupidly) taken way too seriously during the filming. They actually thought that this was scary?
Well, at least it gave me a different physical interpretation of "Satan," at least... instead of the red guy with the cute tail that has a little spade on the tip, you get a mixture of vampire, devil, and your worst hair day ever all blended into one.
On my list of the best flicks to rent for a marathon of sucky movies, this one is #1!!

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 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.
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.

good idea, poor delivery and even worst acting. but like so many cult movies this one has a rather unique script, focusing on a day of the dead like celebration that two college kids find themselves trapped in....I will say this it take a true horror fan to watch this movie, much of what you see on screen is laughable at best as far as effects are concerned, but there is something disturbing about the town and premise of the movie. there are much scarier 80's movies, but unlike the other commenter i like the grainy footage (which is mainly due to VHS quality and shaking camera they add somewhat to the mood of the movie.it has been at least ten years since i have seen this movie so i can't remember all the details, but if someone can get it for you cheap or free you should check it out....
