A few sub-plots get lost...but this offers a satisfyingly large-scale demonic incursion as glimpsed from the streets.

When a couple of American young adults fly to Israel to visit the city of Jerusalem, a biblical nightmare falls upon the city
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Barry Hertz
The filmmakers score half a point for at least avoiding the old “hero-who’s-constantly-filming” device, but fail to add anything else to the proceedings, except, perhaps, the movie’s unique setting.
The 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.
Entertainment Weekly by Clark Collis
The niftily claustrophobic use of actual Jerusalem locations offers a nice holiday from the more familiar backdrops favored by the POV genre.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
The creepy evocativeness of its superbly utilized setting...and the well-realized creature designs make it a more than respectable horror effort. The haunting final shot alone makes it worth the price of admission.
The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
The more desperate the characters’ flight becomes, the less interesting the movie grows. It does end with a witty flourish, though — one that makes good use of those glasses.
Not much substance is buried beneath the irritating style.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
JeruZalem is just a wobble-a-thon with incessant screaming and a predictable trajectory for its leading ladies, even if the final, arresting image of a malevolently transformed skyline makes one wish a more enticing, original road had led there.
