| StarburstCharley OughtonWith their tale of petrified friends, governmental gods and roaming murder, Jeruzalem is a terrific and terrible vision of what, for all we know, may well be. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelThere is too much subjectivised sightseeing & meandering character business in the first two acts... but once the Resurrection has finally commenced... millennia of religious and racial tensions are given a postmodern Bibilical form. |

| Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisThe niftily claustrophobic use of actual Jerusalem locations offers a nice holiday from the more familiar backdrops favored by the POV genre. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comCary DarlingIf not for its setting, the Israeli horror film Jeruzalem would be just another video verite, found-footage, would-be scarefest with little to make it unique...There's just not much scare there. |
| Jerusalem PostHannah BrownThe movie is saved from being too formulaic by two elements. The first is Yael Grobglas... The second element is the tongue-in-cheek aspect of the movie. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeOn the surface its story is slight - demonic horrors are unleashed and people run around trying to survive - but there's much more going on in a film which amply deserves the awards it has received. |
| Electric SheepGreg KlymkiwYes, this is yet another found-footage horror film shot on a shoestring, but there's no need to despair since JeruZalem is a wildly entertaining, often unbearably intense and occasionally drawer-filling experience. |
| VarietyBen KenigsbergThe movie’s occasional stabs at political commentary never quite pay off. Nor can the writer-directors, brothers Yoav and Doron Paz, fully sustain the film’s novelty into the second half, when the script reverts to timeless, tired monster-movie tropes. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThere are moments in the picture that hint at greater things to come, and the helmers have potential as horror handlers, but "Jeruzalem," at best, is sharp short film uncomfortably stretched out into a plodding feature. |
