There’s not a line he gives that is convincing as human speech. Israeli heartthrob Yon Tumarkin plays the role and he is devastatingly terrible, delivering his lines in a stilted, zoned out way that makes you think he learned them phonetically. The lead girls are irritants, but they have nothing on Kevin, the lead guy.
#Jeruzalem movie sex scene full
Only Omar, the comic relief, comes across like a full character, thanks to the charm of actor Tom Graziani. The characters are all horrible, especially the girl with the Google Glass, who does stuff like scream epithets at IDF soldiers when they won’t help her comb through a monster-filled asylum to find a guy she met two days earlier. I know that on paper this incoherence sounds cool, but trust me when I tell you that not only is it not, the giant looks like shit. It’s like the movie sort of is about the gates of Hell opening and spitting out demons but is also about zombies and also attempts to find no logical connection between the two, or even address how it works. But there’s also this huge giant walking around in the background, getting shot at by helicopters and jets, and I literally have no idea how that’s even connected.

They also, in the traditional zombie manner (note the Z in the title) turn you into one of them if they bite or claw you.
See, the dead are coming back and when they do they grow wings and are demons or something.
It’s all such a bummer, as the basic concept is great, even if the writers and directors, the Paz Brothers, don’t even play by their own rules. There’s even a brief detour into an insane asylum for no reason except to make this movie feel more like it has the structure of a video game, I guess. The film hits every single cliche along the way, from the partying teens to the warning from an old crazy guy (in this case a guy who thinks he’s the Biblical King David) to painfully obscured found footage during scary action scenes. 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.
