As travelogue Jeruzalem is sort of intriguing, but as a horror movie it’s simply the most bog standard crap you could imagine. It’s similar to As Above So Below, another not-very-good found footage film elevated by its setting (in that case the Paris Catacombs). Shooting a movie in the Old City is a killer idea the millennia-old streets and alleys of the Old City are visually exciting and absolutely new on film.

Sarah, who is wearing Google Glass the whole movie, documents the group’s attempts to flee the walled Old City, which has been shut down by Israeli authorities as monsters keep popping up. In a hostel in the Old City they meet Omar, a horny Palestinian, and then they discover that the dead are rising and turning into winged monsters. Rachel and Sarah take a trip to Israel, intending to party it down in Tel Aviv, but they meet a tremendous doofus, Kevin, on their flight, and he takes them to Jerusalem. The palm trees, it turns out, are a highlight of the film. You first get the sense that you’re in trouble with Jeruzalem when the lead character’s New Jersey home is ringed by palm trees.This Israeli film attempting to get in on the found footage and zombie crazes also taps into that most eternal of horror tropes: lazy filmmaking and terrible writing.
