A Muslim hostel proprietor, Omar (Tom Graziani), acts as their guide to Jerusalem’s nightlife. Following the flight’s arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, he invites Sarah and Rachel to join him in Jerusalem instead of adhering to their plan to hit the clubs of Tel Aviv. On the plane, Sarah finds herself attracted to an ancient-history buff, Kevin (Yon Tumarkin). Sarah’s dad (Howard Rypp) has given his daughter a present of WiFi-enabled “Smart Glass” specs that allow her to video-chat, snap photos and look at maps. Sarah Pullman (Danielle Jadelyn), a 24-year-old in Los Angeles, is about to leave for Israel with her friend Rachel (Yael Grobglas, “Jane the Virgin”). She’s on the verge of sprouting wings, for one thing.Īfter the 8mm-style prologue, the movie abruptly turns high-tech. The clip shows clerics from several religions uniting to perform an exorcism of some sort in the Old City, where a dead woman has miraculously returned to life, not quite herself. A reel of faux found footage, identified as being from 1972, gives us our first glimpse of the latter gate. “JeruZalem” opens with an ostensible Talmud quote saying that there are three gates to hell: one in the sea, one the desert, and one in Jerusalem. Shot in Jerusalem’s Old City, the largely English-language genre offering makes clever and unsettling use of a p.o.v. gimmick - most of the action is seen from the vantage point of a character’s Google Glass–like eyewear - until the second half falls back on apocalypse- and zombie-movie conventions about as ancient as the scenery. Those itching to pay a visit to 10 Cloverfield Lane could do worse than take a pit stop at this … well, “Cloverfeld”: an Israeli-produced first-person horror film in which the Days of Awe take on a rather literal meaning for two party-ready American tourists.
