Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is not your typical LGBT movie. Not the coming out or typical angst riddled movie. The LGBT aspect was actually just another character in the movie The plot of being dropped into your past and being able to effect a change in your life. The thing that got me most was the confrontation of the Main character and his younger self. Realizing just how stubborn and narcissistic his younger self was. Charlie David and Richard Harmon showed how complex the older and younger sides of their character are. Worth the time!

Failed filmmaker Zachary Wells (Charlie David) returns to his alma mater to be a judge in a film competition. One of the competitors (Richard Harmon)shares his real name--Daniel Reyes--and has entered a film that carries the same name as the film Zach entered years ago! Then things get strange:) This is one odd film. It mixes science fiction with drama, gay love (and sex) and redemption. It's hard to get a grip on at first (I considered turning it off more than once) but, if you stick with it, everything becomes clear at the end. It's well made and they use some interesting double images or lighting occasionally to push the sci-fi angle (but use it sparingly which is good). The acting varies. David is good and Sean Paul Lockhart (who once did gay porn as Brent Corrigan) is excellent. Harmon however is pretty bad and Tino Descamps (as Shane) is downright terrible. Still the story kept me watching. Also there's male nudity (back views only) and some passionate guy on guy kissing.On one hand I do like it for its interesting plot and views. On the other hand it leaves too many questions unanswered at the end. So I can only give this a 5. Not terrible but it feels unfinished.

Judas Kiss is a truly an excellent film in every way. Of course, Charlie David's performance was great but the big surprise was the performance of Sean Paul Lockhart (a.k.a Brent Corrigan.) He was spectacular in his role. The story line really made me think about my own life and the choices I've made. The production values are incredible, especially given it's an indie film. This is a movie you need to see more than once (twice for me so far) as little things you might miss the first time become more obvious the second time.This could easily be a main stream film regardless of the "gay content." J.T. and Carlos should be very proud.

This stunning film catches the audience's attention, and the message of the film has everyone contemplating their own lives well after the movie is over. A compelling, yet controversial, story-plot with a charismatic cast. An instant classic.I have personally seen this film at two major film festivals around the nation. It was well worth seeing more than once because you understand more of the subtle messages the more times you watch it. I've also seen that the director has a series of short films available on DVD. I look forward to the DVD release of 'Judas Kiss' to share with other friends and fans. I'm anticipating sharing it on campus for other film students to watch.
