Trapped between the ancient walls of the holy city, the trio must survive long enough to find a way out as the fury of hell is unleashed upon them. The party is cut short when a biblical prophecy comes to pass on the night of Yom Kippur and Jerusalem’s gate to hell is opened, releasing an epic apocalypse. The two follow Kevin (Yon Tumarkin), a mysterious and handsome anthropology student, into the heart of the Old City. ‘JeruZalem’ follows Rachel (Yael Grobglas), and her friend Sarah (Danielle Jadelyn), two American girls on vacation in Jerusalem. The Paz Brothers excitedly proclaim, “ The team at Epic Pictures helped us realize our dream of scaring the shit out of people all over the world! We’re thrilled to partner them again for JeruZalem 2 – this time with a virtual reality element that opens up a whole new world of creative opportunities for us as filmmakers.” If the sequel goes the same route, that’s a perfect way to put us in the main character’s shoes and see things from their perspective. As a result, we see what the main character Sarah sees. This makes a lot of sense because JeruZalem did set itself apart by “obtaining footage” using Google Glass instead of a handheld camera. We were so happy that viewers loved the film as much as we did so we quickly decided to team up with Doron and Yoav again for a sequel,” commented Epic Pictures CEO Patrick Ewald while co-founder Shaked Berenson adds, “ The sequel will include an extensive virtual reality component to bring the viewers’ experience to the next step and immerse themselves in the action and the city of Jerusalem.” “ With ‘JeruZalem’, The Paz Brothers created a truly original and terrifying horror film that thrilled audiences all over the world.
No cast or plot details have been released. The film will be written and directed once again by the Paz Brothers, Doron and Yoav. Epic Pictures has announced today that they are moving forward with JeruZalem 2, the sequel to the found-footage film that released earlier this year.
