Jeruzalem is a found footage movie set during the biblical apocalypse and even though its a complete B-movie, has some iffy acting, and doesn't quite hit the mark to be considered a good movie, it's not terrible. I think the setting and location helps the film a lot, Jeruzalem is shot entirely on location and features some historical religious sites, so there is an authenticity to it.
That said I would have liked to have seen what the filmmakers could have done with a bit more of a budget, or perhaps rather what more experienced filmmakers could have done with the idea, because it is undoubtedly a good one. Because of the budgetary restraints the build up to the apocalypse is sadly the best part of the film, there are a few striking images here and there but not enough to make the film worth recommending. It sits very much in the same place as "The Remaining", another found footage film about the christian apocalypse. It's fine but the idea is better than the actual film itself, all that said, it did entertain me for an hour and a half so, it's not all bad, just very average.
