“Evil Judgment” is a 1984 slasher directed by Claudio Castravelli. Holding homage energy to giallo, the film tries to assemble a more traditional stylish attempt at older formal efforts than other 80’s films that hold a bit of a pop charm energy to their slasher disposition. From this viewpoint, there are some items that are done well, and then some that tend to go wayward. Immediately at face value, I thought for sure I was going to get some courtroom novelty element based on title and poster art, but that element is basically non-existent in entirety. This isn’t a make-or-break element of things at all, but I will argue that if this film instilled a bit more of a gimmick to it, it would be far more rememberable. This is where the film falters the most.
We are essentially given a run of the mill scenario narrative that delivers some situational thrills, but not much in the realm of care and effort for the characters featured within. Our centralized character of Janet can’t make ends meet being a waitress at a Greek restaurant that makes soup similar in taste to piss according one review, so she takes her effort into making some funds off of prostitution after influence from a friend. The date turns into a murder mystery, involving the rest of the film with Janet attempting to resolve her plight because nobody else strangely seems to care. Once again, the film really takes care to be a traditionalist effort in paying attention to older rules within the giallo genre. This is the best served effort that the viewership can be appreciative towards. What goes wrong is that all the narrative assembled becomes unremarkable, not bad yet not expansively good at the same time. It’s an appreciated effort and worth a view, but quickly forgotten.
