#WATCH JERUZALEM MOVIE MOVIE#
If was to be honest, this movie really is ok at best. It's just a unique place to set a horror movie in and, honestly, they don't do as much with the location and its rich history as they could have, but this is a horror movie, they can only do so much.
One of the other things I liked was the fact that it was set in Israel.
That's not even getting into the shit that happens once things start to get crazy. Though, honestly, in parts, the Smart Glass itself becomes annoying with its constant face recognition and all its little quirks. It's not like it's something that completely revitalizes the genre, but it does offer a neat little twist on the look of it all. Imagine Google Glass with everything on it, facial recognition, music, Whatsapp, Facebook, games, etc, etc. First of all, I found the approach to it to be somewhat intriguing, it's seen from the point of view of this woman who's wearing these Smart Glasses. And I'm not saying that this is a shit found footage movie, it falls somewhat in the middle, but it falls into every trope of everything that people hate about this style, at least once shit gets going. When I see a shit found footage movie, I'm gonna call them out on it. There's plenty of good movies in the genre, but that's the peak of it to me. Like the first Rec movie, which was excellent and one of my favorite horror movies ever, Chronicle and Troll Hunter.
I think that, when used correctly, the found footage genre can yield some excellent results. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a champion of the found footage genre itself, I'm more of a person who disagrees with the generalizations that are thrown toward the sub-genre itself.
