Judy Trailers

Bad things happen to bad people. That's what Ursula, the ring leader of a deranged group of street performers called "The Crows", always says. For no apparent reason, the gang starts to torment Mary and Judy: a young car driver and her dog. Her only crime was not paying attention to the annoying street performers. For Mary, the curtains of the most insane and dangerous show will rise - and fall. The Crows' show is not just about blood.

ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
manuelasaez I have seen every film by the studio, and while some are great and extremely entertaining (Adam Champlin, Hotel Inferno), this film unfortunately falls at the opposite end of the spectrum. Slow, tedious, poorly written, questionable make-up; can this film do anything right? The premise made very little sense (a woman ignores a circus clown and is later stalked and tortured by the freaks of an unknown circus?), and once you get to the end of the film, you wondered why you wasted your time. It was a mean spirited movie that should have never been made.The one redeeming quality? The little gore shown was top notch, and actually made me squirm. But there was just not enough of the good stuff to erased the rest of this atrocity. A total disappointment.
Lee An interesting change of pace for Italian splatter fiends Necrostorm, the guys behind relentlessly gory low-budget fun action-fests like 'Adam Chaplin' and 'Taeter City'. 'Judy' by contrast is a slow-burn, suspense-building creeper of a film focusing on a woman being stalked around her apartment by an oddball bunch of street clowns for unknown reasons. And it's a very decent effort to be fair. Creepy and effective for the most part. In terms of movie-making it's more of a serious attempt to woo a broader range of horror fans rather than just the thrill-seeking gore-hounds out there. Not that the gore lovers have been totally left uncared for, there are a couple of gruesome moments on offer - a brief moment at the beginning and a more brutal scene at the end showcasing Necrostorm's brilliant use of gory makeup effects.Yeah it's by no means perfect, there are a couple issues. Pacing was a tiny bit slow, building the suspense is fine as long as moments of horror or a scare are added to make things not seem so monotonous. Also, another thing that plagues other Necrostorm productions is the bad English dubbing, it does harm the overall effect of the film and it's no different here. So in conclusion I urge fans of Mr. De Santi's previous work to give this one a chance, it's a commendable change of direction and it shows he's got more to offer than just splatter and gore.
twotrybe Here is a film that really scrapped the bottom of the barrel if cliché horror/thriller. It angers me to know end to sit through something like this with no payoff. It angers me more when I see dumb people do dumb things. Here is the victim who does dumb things against dumb adversaries. She has a gun ironically but shoe does nothing with it. I wish she had been a "Dirty Harriet"but instead you get the girl who couldn't shoot straight and she waits before she takes a shot and by that time, the bad girls move out of range. And she finds one in the house and she still doesn't shoot instead she backs out of the room after taking some medication that puts her to sleep. And then she has the chance to get the hell out of there but she pretends to leave and stays which begs the question, why, because she's looking for Judy the dog? At this point, you can't root for the woman because she's an idiot. This wasn't creepy, scary, or gross, it was nothing but a waste of time.
bigrichycool3 I've seen all 3 Necrostorm movies up until now and all 3 have been violent bloodfests. After seeing the first 2 I assumed that the 3rd Necrostorm movie would be a violent bloodfest and it was. Assumption correct. And so of course I assumed the same would be true of their 4th movie: Judy. At last my dumb assumption has been proved wrong! Instead of an action horror we have an attempt at 'pure' horror. More than half of the movie goes by without any body parts being blasted off, instead building tension and a foreboding atmosphere. There's only so much of that I can take though and at one point I became bored with not much happening... until suddenly everything happens in the 4th quarter. This is the Necrostorm we know and love! This is a good movie, I wish it could have been a bit longer than the 75 minutes running time though. Other notes: The movie has pretty much 1 character. The dubbing is once again dubious and yet amusing. I'm not sure it's worth the full 15 or 20 Euros cost as it feels like a half film, a watered down Necrostorm adventure. Would I recommend? Yes I would! Bye!
