Sorry, but only 4,7 for this little gem, is kind of outrageous.


Yes, a lot of flaws, however, the build up is quite good, the writers don't waste a minute of the film, characters are introduced, and they make the city, a character, which is kind of refreshing, given as Jerusalem is a film that is basically absent - in its modern incarnation - of cinema... and despite World War Z taking place for 20 minutes there, in this film, the city is fleshed out as a character, finding the right balance between faithfully portraying the critical real situation but not making it distract the audiences from the real point of the story, the Apocalypse itself. Given its limited budget, the results are quite good, the sense of dread increases throughout the film, correctly, and while the ending is a bit obvious for those who paid attention, it's a fulfilling one. I'd give it a 7.

I gave it a 6, because of the things that were very irritating and can't get past them, like Sarah, and useless small wings on humanoid creatures. The Nephilim also sucked. This movie could have used better ideas. But it was still entertaining.

Terrible ripoff of Blair Witch Project.

No, this is a terrible movie.

...the writers don't waste a minute of the film...


Most of the movie is wasted. The first 50 minutes or so are incredibly boring. Get on with the story!

Exactly. Also the time looking at the ground, darkness and other nonsense.

A 6 for this movie is not that bad. It was watchable even though the chicks were annoying.

This is one of the more underrated movies I've seen in quite a while. I gave this a solid 7 and thoroughly enjoyed it. A guy on this thread said "blair witch" ripoff, but it has nothing to do with blair witch except it is filmed by one of the people in the film. I normally don't like that type of movie (found footage, self-filmed) but they actually pull it off as well as you can. The story is cool. I like horror with a bit of a religious twist and there are some legitimately scary moments. I see they are working on a part 2 which I'm looking forward to seeing.
