Religion is the perfect breeding ground for horror, you just have to look at the bible for evidence of that… That’s why releasing Jeruzalem around Easter seems so perfect… However, are we tired of the found footage horror? Or does this religious horror film bring something different to the table?
Sarah (Danielle Jadelyn) and Rachel (Yael Grobglas) fly to Israel to party, and have a good time. Finding themselves in the city of Jerusalem everything seems fun at first. When the world around them descends into chaos and it appears a hell of biblical proportions is rising, can they survive?

We’re living in an interesting time for horror movies. As the reach of the new global cinema trickles down from the blockbusters to even indie horror, we’re getting films shot in countries and locations that are relatively new to genre films, from the United Arab Emirates (in Tobe Hooper’s long-shelved Djinn) to now JeruZalem, not just made by Israeli filmmakers the Paz Brothers, but actually shot in the titular city itself. It’s a choice that adds both novelty and a sense of history to what is an otherwise overly familiar first-person horror film that’s part zombie movie, part Cloverfield, all disappointing.
Two American girls, Sarah (Danielle Jadelyn) and Rachel (Yael Grobglas) are en route to a vacation in Tel Aviv when they meet Kevin (Yon Tumarkin), who convinces them to accompany him to Jerusalem for good times in the Old City. After a few days of hanging out,...

Is it coincidence that Google filed a new application to revive Google Glass on December 28th (despite halting production on the prototype in January) just weeks before Israeli-set horror film JeruZalem supplies a 90-minute adventure into Hell through those exact lenses (albeit a pair of fictitious knock-offs)? Yes. It’s most definitely a coincidence. But whether that technology was going to stay dead or be reborn has little bearing on Doron and Yoav Paz‘s latest work because utilizing it provides an effective gimmick regardless. Doing so is by no means wholly original with the effect proving [Rec] meets Cloverfield meets Unfriended, but sometimes a slight twist is enough to render a maneuver fresh. I actually would’ve liked more electronic “glass” intrusions than were used to set it further apart.

With such a rich, biblical culture, one has to wonder why more Israeli horror films don’t take advantage of Jerusalem. Scenes essentially set themselves, twisting through vast tunnel systems and maze-like markets, and ideology paints a religious Hell on Earth given the right story.
JeruZalem, a found-footage demon flick from the Paz brothers, understands the advantages of transporting viewers to a creature-filled Jerusalem, and treats the holy land with terrifying respect. Sure, the film may spend most of its time accompanying two Jewish tourists as they soak in the deceptively cheery destination, but when the “Oh Shit” switch gets flipped, Doron and Yoav Paz prove to be invigorating genre filmmakers. A tad generic in practice, but insane nonetheless.
Danielle Jadelyn stars as Sarah, a young vacationer on a quest to Tel Aviv with her best friend Rachel (Yael Grobglas). Right before she leaves, her father gifts her a prescription...

Falling firmly in the goofy camp of horror gimmicks is Jeruzalem, an Israel-set shocker that uses the holy city as its canvas and Google Glass as its brush. We’ve seen Pov films before (Rec 2, Enter the Void), but don’t just get to see and hear young American Sarah’s get-away vacation of a lifetime – we get to see the Facebook profiles of everyone she meets, too. Including augmented reality will almost definitely date the film, but it also gives the benefit of lightning-fast exposition; we learn key characters’ names as soon as they appear onscreen along with a snapshot of their personality. It does take something away from the natural character development you might otherwise expect, though a film like Jeruzalem likely wouldn’t have a lot...

Epic Pictures Group Co-Founders Patrick Ewald and Shaked Berenson have accepted Wizard World Chicago's respected closing night invitation for their highly anticipated, award-winning horror film, "Jeruzalem." The Paz Brothers-helmed project will have its U.S. premiere at Bruce Campbell’s Horror Film Festival on August 23rd at the giant Wizard World Comic Con Chicago. Winner of the Audience Award and Best Editing Awards at the recent 32nd Jerusalem International Film Festival, "Jeruzalem" is expected to play to an Sro audience at the Muvico Theatre.
"Jeruzalem" is directed by Doron & Yoav Paz (Tiff and Berlinale’s "Phobidilia") and stars breakout actress Yael Grobglas ("Jane the Virign," "Reign," Rabies"), Yon Tumarkin (Berlinale’s Panorama Award-winner "Rock Ba-Casba," TV’s "Split") and Tom Graziani ("A Place in Heaven"). The chilling story follows two American girls on vacation who join a mysterious and handsome anthropology student on a trip to Jerusalem. The party is cut short when the trio is caught in the middle of a biblical apocalypse. Trapped between the ancient walls of the holy city, the three travelers must survive long enough to find a way out as the fury of hell is unleashed upon them.
Epic Pictures, one of the fastest rising independent all-in-one studios based in Hollywood, also has the opening night film, the long awaited "Tales of Halloween" on Aug 20th, as well as its quirky horror romance, "Nina Forever," screening at the festival on August 23rd.
"Jeruzalem"comes out in U.S. theaters later this year.
Epic Pictures Group will also release Sundance retro hit "Turbo Kid" on August 28th. The company produces, finances, licenses and distributes top-quality and unique entertainment across the world. Since its inception in 2007, Epic Pictures has grown to become one of the most creative and dynamic movie studios in the entertainment industry, hand-picking only the most exciting projects and shaping them from script to launch.

In two weeks, vampires, cannibals, Halloween frights and more will grace the screen at the Muvico Theater in Rosemont, Illinois for Bruce Cambell's Horror Film Festival.

Press Release: "Chicago, Illinois (August 6, 2015) – The second annual Bruce Campbell Horror Film Festival presented by Wizard World, running August 20 – 23 at the Muvico Theater in Rosemont, Illinois (9701 Bryn Mawr Ave., Rosemont), is proud to announce the addition of two more films to the already bursting schedule.

Among the breakout hits of the 2014-2015 television season was the CW series Jane the Virgin. The critical and commercial acclaim the show received extended to a number of its performers, which included Yael Grobglas. Playing Petra, Grobglas made the jump from Israeli television to fellow CW series Reign prior to her role on Jane the Virgin, and left many curious to see where she would go next.
Her next foray will be into feature films, the second one in her career, returning to work with Israeli filmmakers. Titled Jeruzalem, the film is written and directed by the Paz brothers, Doron Paz and Yoav Paz, marking their second feature and first original screenplay. The synopsis is as follows.
Two American girls on vacation in Israel are charmed into accompanying an anthropology student to Jerusalem during Yom Kippur. Their timing couldn’t be less fortunate. This particular night will see many...
