Jeruzalem

JeruZalem is a 2015 English-language Israeli supernatural horror film. Written and directed by Doron and Yoav Paz, the film stars Yael Grobglas, Yon Tumarkin, Danielle Jadelyn, and Tom Graziani. Plot In 1972, two priests are called to record an event at Jerusalem. It is revealed that Jewish, Muslim, and Christian priests were all called to perform an exorcism on a woman who died three days before. Her son claims she was calm at first when she returned from the grave to his home, but became violent later, injuring her husband. After failed attempts to cure her, the priests decide they have no choice but to kill the woman. In a final attempt, the woman screams while sprouting leather wings, just before a priest kills her with a derringer. The narrator states that the strange events of 1972 were the "first proof" of a gateway to Hell in Jerusalem. In the present, two Jewish American tourists, Rachel and Sarah Pullman, plan a vacation to Tel Aviv. Sarah is mourning the loss of her deceased brother and her father gives her a pair of smart glasses. The rest of the movie is taken from the glasses’ POV. On the plane, they meet a fellow American student named Kevin Reed. Kevin is fascinated by religious mythology, especially the Jinns of Islam, the Golem of Jewish mythology, and the undead or zombies, which he believes to all be manifestations of the same evil. He suggests that Rachel and Sarah join him on his journey to Jerusalem, and mentions that he wants to spend Yom Kippur there. Sarah becomes infatuated with Kevin and convinces her friend to go to Jerusalem. On their way to the hostel, they meet a local who believes that he is King David. The local warns them to leave the city because it is dangerous, warning that something terrible will happen on Yom Kippur, but the friends believe he is insane. In the hostel they meet Israeli-Arab Omar and his father Fauzi, who run the hostel. The local news channel reports of a murder that has taken place in the Old City with a massive amount of blood found on the street, but no body. While Rachel starts an affair with Omar, Kevin and Sarah begin an intimate relationship. The four friends enjoy their time in Jerusalem, party, and tour around the city. When Sarah gets lost in the Old City at night, she is frightened of an unearthly growling and screams she hears. Kevin shows Sarah the documentary, from the beginning of the movie, that he found on the internet with film footage of the 1972 exorcism.
