dcarsonhagy I caught this little unknown gem on On-Demand the other evening. I will admit I was bored, and I did not put much stock in this movie being any different from the (what seems like) millions of others in the same vein populating the rentals. Boy, was I in for a nice surprise!"Judas Ghost" is about a team of professional ghost hunters sent in to do some research on an old school hall. It looks innocent enough during daylight, but things do not stay innocent for very long. Doors appear and disappear; the same with telephones. The ghost hunters soon find themselves surrounded by a darkness...that bleeds. And the darkness seems to be everywhere. They all realize they are now in a race to fend off or defeat whatever is stalking them.One thing about this movie I really enjoyed was the cast. No one tried to overact his/her role. The dialogue was sincere and believable. Also, as another reviewer pointed out, I actually CARED about what happened to all these people. In so many other movies of this type, there always seems to be one character you cannot stand, one character you want dead immediately, and you can pretty much determine what will happen to the others. Also, the people involved with this production told their story and got the hell outta Dodge. There was no unnecessary shots of people mugging for the cameras or staring off into space for absolutely no reason. Alas, that is also one of the drawbacks: the movie just did not last long enough. Coming in at 74 minutes, it just needed a little more story to have received a higher rating from me.Still, I can recommend this one. The release I saw rated this "unrated." It does contain some disturbing images and language. I say go for it!

darthsparhawk I rarely review movies on IMDb, but I want to do it for "Judas Ghost", because it is truly a gem of horror. First of all, I'd like to say that I am a huge fan of the author of the story, Simon R. Green, who writes great fantasy series and this movie is based on one of them - Ghost Finders. I was pessimistic when I learned that it is a low budget movie, but I was wrong. "Judas Ghost" is well made, atmospheric and with decent actors doing a great job. The villain is particularly memorable and reminds me of great horror icons like Freddy and Pinhead /in their first appearances/ without being derivative. I think that all fans of clever, indie horror should give this movie a chance. They are not going to regret it!

atinder Judas Ghost (2013)team of professional ghost finders are trapped in an old village hall. The haunting they set out to investigate turns out to be far worse than they anticipatedI thought this was going to be a full on rip off grave encounters but thankfully it was not, I am-sure that grave encounter may have been inspired this movie in some parts.I love the fact the whole movie in just in that one room, with haunting ,the way they keep you clued to the screen , really clever with a lot things happen in that .I enjoyed the humour added to the movie , it make feel more fun and enjoyable. I didn't find the movie scary but I did really like the darkness scene , with I thought was really creepy.The acting from the whole was great.I going to give 8 our of 10 Great movie

stackk Saw this at Shriekfest: literally the 1st "movie" I've seen at my 4 festivals. Terrific acting and story, solid story-driven camera-work, great "look," shot for half-a-Mil. Only flaws are nitpickies made in any film. My vote was a 9, but I kicked it to 10 for this first-time director because it's every bit as good as Cusack/Håfström's 1408 on a tenth the budget. - Really IMDb? Ten lines of text? - Okay: I thought this would be a standard indie horror when I saw the trailer, but it *way* exceeded my expectations. The characters were people you enjoyed spending the time with embodied by actors confident (for good reason) in their abilities. The camera-work was innovative without putting a spotlight on itself, in full service to the story. The effects were used to striking effect, the low-budget shadows notwithstanding. I especially loved the "main" character's one bright-red arm of gore, like some sort of military presentation/accolade. -- Nice job and can't wait to see more from this hat-trick of director, producer and screenwriter.
