The most annoying thing about this movie is that it is filmed through "smart glasses" (they are basically google glasses) of the main character. Now, i personally love well done found-footage horror movies but this is just plain annoying. e.g. voice recognition turns on randomly and starts playing music during an intense scene... yeah, as stupid as is sounds, it happens.
Until a good portion of the movie is over we learn absolutely nothing of interest to the main plot. And even after the movie we know so little about what actually happened.
The plot goes like this: Two girls go on vacation in Jeruzalem. They have fun there and meet two nice guys. One of them starts having a bit of a bad feeling blah blah blah. Suddenly we see fighter jets bombarding the town and the a long long escape follows. All we know is that basically judgment day is about to happen. That's it.
There are only very few monster encounters. All of them except one don't feel creepy one bit, unfortunately.
I think the premise of the movie is decent but badly chosen first person view and a long hysteric escape makes this movie not really worth to watch.

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 ...

Generally, enjoyed the movie. Has great potential. The storyline and concept of the movie are originally creative, interesting and pretty exciting. CGI is not bad. A visually well made movie. The ONLY con for me is the lead actress, Sarah. Her constant whiny nature seriously irritates me to no end and drives me toward the crying wall-pun intended. If they can tighten the acting and hasten the urgency, the movie would have had scored. I gave it a 6 cos it's a pretty good movie; I was annoyed by the acting but was not bored. Kept me interested throughout. Very good scenic look into the sacred city. This is kinda like Blair Witch Project on weed (chill mode) but done with wearable i-Lens. Shalom!

Jeruzalem is a kind of found footage flick were things go awfully wrong when the underworld breaks free in Jeruzalem. It reminded me of flicks like Cloverfield (2008) and As Above So Below (2014).
It take a while before the horror comes in so before that we do follow two girls who are on a trip together but do meet a guy and together they decide to go to Jerusalem. So the first part we do see them going out and visit Jerusalem. Of course they are out for sex and things all do work out fine until two fighterplanes are flying over Jerusalem and do drop a bomb.
From that point things go wrong for the gang. Is it gory, not really it's pure suspense in a creepy atmosphere. It's all filmed from the smartglasses from one of the girls. When the demons do attack it's all a bit blurry and shaky but for me it did work out fine. But I can understand that some people aren't into those kind of horrors.
A bit too much of sightseeing and partying going on in the beginning but once the attack starts it's okay. Maybe for some the Nephilim are a bit over the top but luckily they aren't the main thing.
Worth seeing if you are into found footage flicks.

Jeruzalem (2015) started off decently, and i will echo some of the other reviewers in saying that the footage of the city itself is beautiful (i really want to go to Jerusalem now!), but apart from the obviously pretty scenery, there isn't very much going on. the back-story is hinted at, the character development is sub-par (leaving the viewer unaffected by their happy/ sad fates), and the creatures/ demons look way more promising in the trailer than in the movie itself.
All in all, the investment this movie demands is nominal, leaving me very 'meh' at the end. oh, the only response that sticks is annoyance at the main protagonist's stupidity (constant sobbing/ screaming type). Also, how long does it take someone to figure where to aim?!
major disappointment. :/

Jeruzalem was not a bad movie, but I found it disappointing because it had the potential to be really good.
The story was a really interesting take on the apocalypse, yet it lacked in explanation of the event. They could have spent a little less time on the Americans partying and a little more time on furthering the plot. It was however not a bad story.
I liked the films portrayal of the main "villains". The acting was fairly good. I also found the small streets and atmosphere added to the creepiness of the movie.
So now for the down side. The found footage type style often gets used just to keep down costs and makes no sense in the story. In this story however they do make sense of why the main character is using the smart glasses. So that was a great job on the part of the writers. However, somehow the glasses with the first person kind of feel really made the movie kind of annoying, even more so than the found footage camera style. Too much bouncing around and it's hard to focus on anything.
All in all, not a bad movie, but could have been so much better.

If I could give this a lower score, I would. The entire story is told from the viewpoint of a spoiled rich girl's google glass, in the vein of a "found footage" type format. Absolutely nothing to do with the story happens until about 47 minutes into the film. From the cheesy fake accents from "Indiana" to the cringe worthy dialogue, there is seriously absolutely nothing redeemable about this film. I stopped watching at one point because of how much I hated everything about this film and came back to it later to finish it.
Save yourself the time and the headache, avoid this piece of crap film at all costs.

Two young American girls fly to Israel to visit TelAviv, on the plane they know Kevin and decide to stay in Jeruzalem. After some fun strange things start to happen.
Well this is supposed to be a horror movie, but it's not, is far from that, it's strange, and it does not scar you, on the other hand it will probably annoy you and disappoint you.
All the movie is seeing through Sarah special glasses , and the choice was bad at all levels, she's really annoying , always stupid choices, bad decisions and hysterical, OK I understand in stress you can make bad decisions, you can be nervous , but Sarah push all limits, you can try but you will not sympathize with her and by the way the acting is also not good.
The idea behind the movie is not bad , but it ends in a bad movie . I feel i lost 85 minutes of my life watching this.

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.
Title (Brazil): "Jeruzalem"

The problem that people who aren't anti Semitic have, because it's easy to pick those reviews out, is the first 45 minutes is a Google glasses commercial but after you get past the longest product placement in movie history it is good scary and pretty unique. To save you that 45 minutes here's what you need to know. Two attractive late teen early adult women go on spring break to Israel and do exactly what people that age do in that situation one girl meets a guy on the plane the other meets a local who's family owns the hotel they stay in. The non local man has feelings of impeding doom and is put into the hospital because he's acting crazy. There you go I saved you 45 minutes. Better movie than most of this type and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

First of all I think some reviews are a tad harsh! I thought the idea was good and the whole google glasses idea gave a point of view film with a bit more camera stability than the usual 'found footage' types. As mentioned in other reviews the shots of the city are excellent and I found the film to be well paced. Although not original the plot was a bit different to the usual horrors we now seem to get by the dozen (killer dolls, demented spirits etc) and although the baddies are demons it's still not too religious and preachy which I liked. Major problem here is Sarah. If you like sniffling, whining, wounded heart types then this is your girl! She also falls over........a lot. Why do horrors have to have the blubbering pathetic little women who grunts and sobs loudly when in situations of impending doom that require a little hush?! OK the film has faults but as a cheap frills, couple of hours to kill it's worth a try

After watching The Unthinkable, which was described as a Cloverfield type movie, the day before (which is 2 hours of my life I'll never get back) I thought this was actually good, I liked the idea of the glasses, it felt tense and atmospheric. I think it's worth the watch.

JERUZALEM tells the story of a group of American Tourists who visit Jerusalem, when suddenly all hell breaks loose in a literal sense.
This movie belongs to the found-footage horror subgenre, were the events happen as seen via the perspective of the participants. In this movie, the conceit is accomplished by means of the film being shown through eyeglasses equipped with a camera.
Usually the point of the conceit is to help put the viewer closer to the events, as if they were right there with the characters. In short, it is to enhance the vicarious experience, and so this is something I pay careful attention to when watching this type of movie.
One of the strongest points of JERUZALEM is that during the set-up, it does a phenomenal job of delivering a vicarious experience of what it would would be like to visit this holy city rich in history and conflict. I would say few movies match this one in terms of capturing the atmosphere of an exquisitely well-chosen setting.
Once the horror starts, the movie also does a good job of portraying the sense of confusion mixed with horror when only incomplete information is available about what is going on. Some horror movies show everything upfront, and thereby all but destroy the possibility for there to be tension until things become clearer, but not this one.
The special effects are for the most part decent, but not outstanding. The negative aspect I noticed most was the whininess of the main character; I think a stronger or more stoic protagonist would have done the movie good, but I understand that the filmmakers' choice may well have been in the service of increasing realism and authenticity. The film also relies heavily on standard tropes for this subgenre, but in my opinion, if they are well-executed (which for the most part they are), then I tend to be more forgiving.
I really liked the beautiful final shot, which is strongly suggestive of a sequel, but I am not aware that one is in the works.
Overall, I think JERUZALEM is a substantially underrated found footage horror film. It may not be as good as the very best ones, like REC (2007), CLOVERFIELD (2008) and TROLLHUNTER (2010), but it is still better than the vast majority of them.
Good movies with similar elements:
1. REC 2 (2008)
2. FRANKENSTEIN'S ARMY (2013)
3. AS ABOVE, SO BELOW (2014)

Those are some indestructible glasses. The acting is so poor you beg the demons to kill them. Story line is ok, just need to hire some real actors.
