I just needed an outlet so that I can rant!!! So, As another reviewer said above, I created an account just to review this movie, something I have never done before. Ok, the Glass seemed pretty cool at first; however, Sarah took it way past the point of cool to straight up annoying. Somehow I wished that Sarah died in a plane crash to Tel-Aviv, but I suppose then we wouldn't have the lovely Rachel now would we? I feel so betrayed, but yet so entertained simultaneously. This chic Sarah irritated me the entire time, but every time I tried to disengage myself from the movie, for some strange odd reason I was still intrigued. I was very attracted to Rachel, and Keven, and Omar. Sarah yelled Kevin's name so much that I soon lost interest in him sadly. Not only was Sarah annoying, but come to think of it, her dad was too, and Drake, Rachel's "boyfriend". If it wasn't for Sarah bratty tale, perhaps I would've given this movie 10 stars instead. I mean like seriously, wasn't her dad freaking annoying? Like both of them together suffer from anxiety. As long as I watch movies, I don't ever want to see this Sarah character in another film...EVER! But it was worth watching....see what I'm sayin..? I'm totally confused!

Despite the stylized Z in the title, possibly to hang on to World War Z's brief popularity, this has seemingly nothing to do with zombies. overall this was a fun movie of the "found footage" genre in the form of a live first person Google Glass type thing the main character wears throughout. Maybe it's just a case of me being fascinated by a Jewish film, but I loved the look of the film and the ancillary characters, like the Palestinian hotel owner who accompanies them and his son Omar, and the brief fight he gets into with an IDF soldier later on in the midst of the Horror breakout, or the drunk guy playing King David.the film wisely keeps its horror elements largely out of site, not letting it linger on screen long enough for us to make out much detail and lose its shock factor, or for us to tell when the CG is bad. my only problem with the film is the cold open start, which I feel could've been done a whole lot shorter or with less "religious apocalypse" stuff. It kind of breaks immersion when that whole sequence ends up using an old Creepypasta picture of a skeletal mummy-type smiling figure which was long ago exposed as being a Halloween decoration taken in dim lighting. One thing which I found cute is that, while the main characters are American tourists, they are all played by Israeli actors, so every once in a while their accent slips. The character Kevin in particular seems to have his accent slip the most, sometimes becoming this odd mix of native American and Canadian accent that most seems to happen when he shouts or tries to slur certain syllables like an American would, not fully enunciating certain syllables

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.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

This movie gets too much bad reviews so I want to counter it with my review... this is a great horror movie, decently build up, good special effects (those winged creatures are creepy as hell) and the acting wasn't too bad either. Jerusalem is a great setting for a movie about resurrection and judgement day, with three of the main religions being together in that single city. A few little mistakes and a few predictable twists but apart from that, it's a movie to enjoy in a dark room... Cloverfield-style! I wasn't sure about this title but now I'm sure to add it to my collection because of the frightening moments. 8/10 so watch this one!
