Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
shawnblackman A professional ghost hunting team set up shop in this hall and discover an entity unlike any other. It's not going to let them leave.This wasn't too bad. The Judas Ghost is a play on The Judas goat that is used to lead sheep or cattle to slaughter. Instead of having ghosts bang things around and lights go on and off they have a black darkness surround the entire building from which there is no escape. Doors appear and then disappear. There is even a ghost spokesperson they pull through the window which was a pretty cool effect.The film is pretty well shot in one room save for some flashbacks so it does have that stage play kind of feel. Hopefully your not film claustrophobic because for some time they are trapped in a little protective circle while they battle the spirit. I did laugh near the beginning when they were getting ready to confront the ghost the one guy tells the psychic "get your psychic shields up". I was waiting for her to say "Right away Captain" but she does better and says "Psychic shields up. Ready to go".Not as bad as a lot of them out there.
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!
missmanson-47747 I came across this film randomly and after reading the one review here, I thought I'd take a chance and give it a go. Like most people, I'm always wary of fake reviews on here, and I did wonder if that was the case here - but it wasn't. Wow. I'm a total horror addict and I loved this film. It wasn't perfect, but it was still excellent. It was very, very creepy, and one of those where you daren't look behind you throughout. I'll also be sleeping with the lights on tonight!The effects were great and perfect for the film, and everything was the right amount of creepiness without becoming boring or silly.If you like your supernatural/ghost films, definitely give this a watch.
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.
