These zombies are a hybrid, bringing in more demon than zombie aesthetic to the creature design. The only way out is through a massive tunnel system one older gentleman knows the path.īy then, they’ve had a few face-to-face encounters with the undead. Because they’re so slow to see the undead threat, they’re trapped in the city when it’s put under quarantine. Violent news reports dominate the airwaves, which Omar brushed off until it was too late to take action, and too widespread to continue softening the horror for the hostel’s guests. It’s not until the final day of the celebration when things get weird. For the most part, the party scenes are just that, save the splashes of stark reminders that the people living in Jerusalem do so in constant tension with one-another. They spend some time flirting with two soldiers, Omar isn’t as welcoming. We get a taste of the everyday conflicts between the numerous cultures jammed into the city during their escapades. Desperate to party, the ladies take Kevin and Omar out to check out the nightlife. The trio pack into a hostel run by the charming Omar and his family.
Tourists Sarah and Rachel are side-tracked from their vacation in Tel Aviv by a handsome anthropologist, Kevin, who suggests they go with him to Jerusalem instead to celebrate the New Year. This time around, the living fail the test and the dead rise in Jerusalem to punish them. For JeruZalem they went back to the religious origins behind mankind’s obsession with the dead rising. Asteroids have nothing to do with spreading a weird virus.
There’s no shadow government running tests on humanity. Starring: Yael Grobglas, Yon Tumarkin, Danielle Jadelyn, and Tom GrazianiĬamera gimmicks aside, this is perhaps one of the most unique zombie origin stories I’ve seen in years. Rated: R (Adult Language, Violence, Drug Use, Nudity) A bigger production would’ve buried some of these performances, or highlighted how one main actress was best used for her voice alone because on-camera, her performance becomes stilted and uncomfortable to witness. And as much as I’d love to buck against something as gimmicky as using Glass to film 98% of the footage, it works for the plot and for the acting talents of those involved. A lot of the digital work went into animating Glass effects, not so much on the fully transformed undead. The downside to using new technology as the backbone in the film shows in the creature development and the final string of fight scenes. The bouncing around isn’t as erratic as home camera footage films and comes across as more natural movement which doesn’t jerk viewer’s attention around so much, they get motion sickness. Do the adaptations to typical cinematography style make the footage as nauseating as Blair Witch? Not really. In this case, newly available technology gave the filmmakers a way to “shoot” everything through the main character’s eyes using Google’s Glass. Technology often impacts the way filmmakers approach their next big project. Tags: A Zombie, horror, JeruZalem, Movie review, the ZSC, zombie movie, zombie survival crew, zombies No Comments »
