Horror movies directed by Yoav Paz

How The Golem scares: The Golem builds its fear slowly, through grief, guilt, and old superstition rather than sudden shocks. It's set in an isolated village steeped in old-world religious fear, and the creature at its center feels less like a monster and more like a manifestation of loss and helplessness. The scares are quiet and unsettling rather than loud, with a sad, heavy feeling running under the whole thing. It suits people who like folklore-based horror with an emotional gut-punch rather than pure thrills.

How Jeruzalem scares: It opens like a casual travel-vlog, with tourists filming their trip through wearable cameras, and then tips over into chaos once strange events start piling up in the city's old streets. Once the demons show up, the movie shifts into constant running, screaming, and physical danger, with the found-footage shakiness making the attacks feel sudden and disorienting. The scares lean on loud jolts and creatures lunging into frame rather than slow dread, so it plays more like a chaotic thrill ride than a movie that gets under your skin. It's a decent pick if you want frantic, monster-chasing energy with a religious apocalypse backdrop, not something that will haunt you afterward.
