Quotes
Young Priest: They all believed in different gods, but for that night they were all dealing with the same devil.

It was okay

Jeruzalem was not a bad movie, but I found it disappointing because it had the potential to be really good.

The story was a really interesting take on the apocalypse, yet it lacked in explanation of the event. They could have spent a little less time on the Americans partying and a little more time on furthering the plot. It was however not a bad story.

I liked the films portrayal of the main "villains". The acting was fairly good. I also found the small streets and atmosphere added to the creepiness of the movie.

So now for the down side. The found footage type style often gets used just to keep down costs and makes no sense in the story. In this story however they do make sense of why the main character is using the smart glasses. So that was a great job on the part of the writers. However, somehow the glasses with the first person kind of feel really made the movie kind of annoying, even more so than the found footage camera style. Too much bouncing around and it's hard to focus on anything.

All in all, not a bad movie, but could have been so much better.
