Jeruzalem (2016)

 
So called "found footage" horror movies lost my attention some time ago but this one made me look twice. First it is set in Jerusalem, not exactly a common locale for horror movies let alone a place where a lot of movies are shot onsite, and the description of the type of 'found footage'.

Most footage movies use the premise that somebody just happens to be holding a camera and continues to hold it while running for the live from whatever horror they've encountered. JeruZalem takes a different approach with one of the characters losing their prescription glasses and are forced to wear a headset with prescription lenses that acts as both a camera and mobile device monitor like Google Glass. The headset allows her to bring up data as they travel and the city and to use GPS. Unfortunately they don't show this in the trailer but at least the story writers took it into account to explain why the footage exists.

The US release date is scheduled for Jan 22, 2016.

The plot concerns American best friends Sarah (Danielle Jadelyn), and fun-loving Rachel (Yael Grobglas), who are traveling to Tel Aviv for a summer vacation. Sarah, still mourning the death of her older brother, has been gifted Google Glass eyewear (the trademarked name is never uttered) by her worried father for the trip.

On the plane heading overseas, the two women meet Kevin (Yon Tumarkin), a handsome young archaeologist who persuades them to ditch their plans and instead come with him to Jerusalem. That turns out to be not such a good idea, since shortly after their arrival—and several days of hitting the local nightspots, where they meet the friendly Omar (Tom Graziani)--the prophecy of the gate comes true and all hell literally breaks loose. Demonic winged creatures and the occasional giant (the latter barely seen, but whatever) begin terrorizing the frantic populace and transforming them into hideous creatures themselves./indent]​
