It borrows from religious mythology, but the tone of the film isn’t overtly religious. The city is then quarantined and Rachel and her friends struggle to find a way out. The story is fairly simple Rachel (Yael Grobglas Jane the Virgin, Reign) and her friend Sarah (relative newcomer Danielle Jadelyn) travel to Israel on vacation, meet a guy on the plane, and follow him to Jerusalem where Hell literally breaks loose. The smart glasses make the frequently used “found footage” gimmick more believable while adding a dimension to the storytelling that surpasses other films in the genre. While the film isn’t particularly frightening, the point-of-view footage comes courtesy of one of the latest technological advances that may be unfamiliar to non-early adapters. 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.It’s the end of the world as we know it as the gates of Hell open up in Jerusalem leaving two vacationing American girls trapped and struggling to survive in the latest “found footage” horror film, JeruZalem.

Nearly everything has been done before and in greater quality. 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. The on-screen characters are team of painstakingly predictable tourists and a couple of equally unremarkable locales. 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 magnificent environment pays dividend early on, it instantly produces more scenic atmosphere than other mockumentary. 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.

Regardless of one's faith, almost everyone can agree that Jerusalem possesses a strikingly beautiful view. Using it as the 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.
