Wow, i mean, this is a great, classic-type Satan story; of course, the acting is bad (except for Mr. Romero and Mr. Richman's); the boys playing hide-n-seek are some of the worse actors; but this, in the end, doesn't matter: this movie has, ultimately, a good plot, and some of the scenes are pretty cool; it IS a B-type-of-movie, but so what? It's fun to watch and a soft-horror, sorta speaking. Actually, nowadays is getting kinda common making movies of American tourists that fall into some kind of trap, on their way out looking for girls and easy sex on foreign lands. Hostel and Turistas explore that theme, although the latter is almost a BOMB and Hostel is a great movie. This one is very naive compared to both of 'em, but it has a good story. The original cover for the VHS is very very cool though. The thing is, this movie DOES show the Devil. While some good movies, very good, as Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, The Omen and Angel Heart never show the Prince of Darkness per Se, with Horns and all. By The way, the devil's portrayed in this film by Richman, and not Romero as the other user has said. I'll give it 3 stars out of 5.

This movie was a tour de force! I'll remember it always! Hail Satan!!! Other than that I really liked this film. Especially the crappy piece of poop made out of cheap wax model of Satan. The use of pentagrams was very special. I loved the old hag at the beginning that kind of just walked around clad in some crappy robe thing. What the hell did she have to do with anything? Regardless, this movie was fun. 2 thumbs up! I don't understand why this isn't on DVD and available at the Wal-Mart nearest you. It's so special, you'll be reaching for the hardest alcohol in your house to numb the fun out of watching it. You're all going to love it.

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.

Group of college kids visit a small foreign village unaware that Satan (Cesar Romero) returns to the village once a year to claim souls and they just happened to arrive on that very night. Tame thriller features a good turn by Romero and some nice cinematography, but is flawed and ineptly directed. A weak underdeveloped script with a ending that feels out of tone with the rest of the film burdens it even further.Rated PG-13; Nudity, Profanity, Violence.
