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 is... horrible and wonderful at the same time. I first saw it when I was about 13 or 14 years old, so it has a great deal of nostalgic value for me. In this movie, Cesar Romero actually plays the character of Octavio, the man who "discovered" Santana. There are also two other actors, Monte Markham (plays Sam, who is trying to save his daughter) and Peter Mark Richman (plays the priest), who have large filmographies, and these are the only performances that are okay. The rest of the acting and the movie itself have all of the B-film qualities that some of us cherish.I recently spent 2 years trying to acquire a copy of this movie, and it is almost nonexistent. I am assuming that it was discontinued very shortly after its release. But I did eventually find a copy and paid a pretty penny to acquire it. If you happen to come upon Judgement Day in a video store (unmistakeable with a cheesy green "satan" on the cover), count yourself among the blessed who live near one of the few video stores that still has a working copy. A must see for those of you who like to laugh at cheesy attempts at a scary movie.

This movie is so stupid that I want my $2.99 back that I paid for!! First this movie starts off with a bunch of wooden actor geeks with fill in talent like they got picked off the street somewhere because the "real" actors either did not show up because of the laughable script or they just couldn't get anybody desperate enough to do this movie! The music in this movie is enough to put you to sleep, flute music made for faerie's dancing in the wilderness wouldn't even be good enough for this movie! And the guy dressed up as Satan looks like he's all dressed up in a K-Mart Halloween special costume! There are no dead scenes except a few lame scenes. When I saw what the terrible killers looked like in those bath robes with Nosferatu faces I just laughed! This is what the whole town is supposed to be running away from once a year! This movie is one of the worst demonic movies I have ever seen. Avoid this one!

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.
