The sight of Jerusalem might be pleasing, but the premise is as old as the archaic city and not even the new installment of glasses can rejuvenate the tired gimmick.

Regardless of one's faith, almost everyone can agree that JerusalemThe sight of Jerusalem might be pleasing, but the premise is as old as the archaic city and not even the new installment of glasses can rejuvenate the tired gimmick.

Regardless of one's faith, almost everyone can agree that Jerusalem possesses a strikingly beautiful view. Using it as the setting is already a surefire way to enhance visual and it's the best feature of "Jeruzalem". It also opts for smart glass gimmick which can be a nifty addition at times, however the first person endeavor in horror genre is a bland and tired one, a spectacle many others of its peer has done better.

The magnificent environment pays dividend early on, it instantly produces more scenic atmosphere than other mockumentary. One can make a family video of the place and it would still look pretty captivating, but adding horror segment is another matter entirely. The on-screen characters are team of painstakingly predictable tourists and a couple of equally unremarkable locales.

On the course of the trial, they will bump into stereotypical corny situations such as quarantine zone, giant monster appearing out of nowhere and "who's bitten" accusations. Nearly everything has been done before and in greater quality. A few of its original scenes are incredibly stupid, showing a mentally disturbed man running around in biblical costume, riding a bike or mumbling incoherently in close up or at precarious time.

After the promise of the great city and its opening premonition scene, it utterly falls down in usual dark alleys, literally in caves with shaking motion. It's hard to form relationships with the characters since they often react over zealously or trying too hard to fit themselves in the mold of overused dramatization of horror genre. It becomes tiresome at the latter half rather than inspiring.

The choice of vista is splendid, it might have been a nice ad for gadget too, but as far as horror goes, it's merely an average showing.… Expand

Resta puntos el final obvio de la mayoría de este tipo de películas, personajes simpáticos pero desechables y el conflicto de fondo que apenas si es mencionado.… Expand

I like the story line and it would have been really good if this is NOT a "footage found" type of movie! i give 5 stars instead of 7. Can they stop making "footage found" movies? it's really giving me a grieve.

This movies presents nothing new to the table, and very few parts are remotely scary.
The acting is okay, and the idea of using the Google glass as a way of filming is nice, but the bad points outweigh the good ones.

Bootleg Cloverfield is probably the best description for this movie. The effects, characters, really everything in this movie is sub-par, except for Omar. I love Omar, such a cool guy.

I don't have anything else to say, it's not really scary, I don't know if that was supposed to be, but I, who doesn't watch any horror movies, didn't find it scary. One thing I do like, though, is the attempt at making a full movie from the first-person perspective, although it gets broken sometimes. If you want a similar but better experience, I recommend you Cloverfield or any good Zombie movie of the recent years, this one's kinda "meh".… Expand

Jesus, had enough after an hour of sightseeing, clubbing, shopping and other boring **** they were doing in the movie. There are better, more interesting real life YT movies from the city. Pure crap.
