A unique queer horror set in Egypt with an Egyptian filmmaker and all Middle Eastern cast and crew, THE JUDGMENT follows a gay couple returning from the US to Egypt for a family emergency, which forces them back into the closet and to attempt to pass as just friends. As the pervasive tension of dangerous homophobia rises around them, they begin to fear that they have fallen prey to witchcraft as punishment for their “homosexual sins”, causing one of them to fall into religious terror and exposing his unhealed past.
