The American and best friends Rachel Klein (Yael Grobglas) and Sarah Pullman (Danielle Jadelyn) decide to travel to Tel Aviv to have fun. In the flight, they meet Kevin Reed (Yon Tumarkin) that invites them to go to Jerusalem. They accept the invitation and they check in the hostel of the local Omar (Tom Graziani). Sarah and Rachel date Kevin and Omar respectively and they go to a nightclub together. When they return to the hostel, they find that Jerusalem is under siege of the army and curfew and no one can leave the place that is under attack of demons.
"Jeruzalem" is another cheap film with awful camera work and storyline. After the original "The Blair Witch Project", filmmakers have found this nasty way of making cheap and low quality films using the "found footage" genre instead of learning how to use a camera. The acting is annoying with countless stupid attitudes and situations. My vote is two.

Another Cheap Film with Awful Camera Work and Storyline
Don't worry.
It has been a year since the death of Sarah Pullman's (Danielle Jadelyn) brother( Steven Hilder). To help her get over it, dad (Howard Rypp ) pays for a trip for her and her better looking BFF Rachel Klein (Yael Grobglas) to travel to Israel. On the plane they meet Kevin Reed (Yon Tumarkin) a young "Indian Jones" whose interest is religious lore on ancient zombies.
They go to Jerusalem and not since World War Z has Jerusalem been annoyed by so many zombies. The difference is that these are Nephilm and dark angels with wings.
The premise was okay. Instead of the hand held camera we have graduated to Google glass or something similar. This has facial recognition and we know exactly where that was going. It also has GPS map etc. It didn't prevent the stupid ground cam or shoe cam. The jerking was less, but was still there. We added random cute cat films.
The film opens with a film and narration by a guy with an accent, which didn't make it seem any more real.
As always, would have been better with a real camera.
Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Danielle Jadelyn or body double)
Found (Jeruzalem) Footage
I'm not the biggest fan of found footage. But this movie actually has some very fine moments, though most of them come towards the end. There is your typical American student type of vacation seeking characters who are way in over their head. Also doing a lot of things wrong (you know the whole "don't go into that house" thing, where for no apparent reason at all people do actually go in ...).
But then again, if you didn't have characters do stupid things, would we have a movie? Would there be evil that had to be succumbed? Probably not, but how does that help the viewer feeling anything for those characters? That's a tough one to answer and something only you can answer for yourself. If you can overlook the flaws there is a decent horror movie in there somewhere ...
