Perfectly adorable
It is a performances centric movie
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

View MoreHated the filming, hated the acting, hated the dialogue. At least there were some cool shots of Jerusalem. Avoid this movie at all costs. You will be absolutely annoyed with the last 30 minutes, and that's not to say the rest of it was any good. It wasn't.
View MoreI went in to this movie thinking, 'Oh great, another 'found footage' film, a la 'Blair Witch Project''. It is so much better than 'Blair Witch', which I hated, and puts all similar Hollywood movies to shame. Instead of a filmed recording, this one is done with 'smart glasses'. The story was believable and the special effects were impressive. I was totally entertained and am dumbfounded by all the negative reviews.
View MoreIt has been a year since the death of Sarah Pullman's (Danielle Jadelyn) brother( Steven Hilder). To help her get over it, dad (Howard Rypp ) pays for a trip for her and her better looking BFF Rachel Klein (Yael Grobglas) to travel to Israel. On the plane they meet Kevin Reed (Yon Tumarkin) a young "Indian Jones" whose interest is religious lore on ancient zombies.They go to Jerusalem and not since World War Z has Jerusalem been annoyed by so many zombies. The difference is that these are Nephilm and dark angels with wings.The premise was okay. Instead of the hand held camera we have graduated to Google glass or something similar. This has facial recognition and we know exactly where that was going. It also has GPS map etc. It didn't prevent the stupid ground cam or shoe cam. The jerking was less, but was still there. We added random cute cat films.The film opens with a film and narration by a guy with an accent, which didn't make it seem any more real.As always, would have been better with a real camera.Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Danielle Jadelyn or body double)
View MoreDespite the stylized Z in the title, possibly to hang on to World War Z's brief popularity, this has seemingly nothing to do with zombies. overall this was a fun movie of the "found footage" genre in the form of a live first person Google Glass type thing the main character wears throughout. Maybe it's just a case of me being fascinated by a Jewish film, but I loved the look of the film and the ancillary characters, like the Palestinian hotel owner who accompanies them and his son Omar, and the brief fight he gets into with an IDF soldier later on in the midst of the Horror breakout, or the drunk guy playing King David.the film wisely keeps its horror elements largely out of site, not letting it linger on screen long enough for us to make out much detail and lose its shock factor, or for us to tell when the CG is bad. my only problem with the film is the cold open start, which I feel could've been done a whole lot shorter or with less "religious apocalypse" stuff. It kind of breaks immersion when that whole sequence ends up using an old Creepypasta picture of a skeletal mummy-type smiling figure which was long ago exposed as being a Halloween decoration taken in dim lighting. One thing which I found cute is that, while the main characters are American tourists, they are all played by Israeli actors, so every once in a while their accent slips. The character Kevin in particular seems to have his accent slip the most, sometimes becoming this odd mix of native American and Canadian accent that most seems to happen when he shouts or tries to slur certain syllables like an American would, not fully enunciating certain syllables
