Chilling Trailer for the Horror Thriller THE GOLEM Based on Jewish Folklore
For those of you not familiar with Jewish folklore, a Golem is a being that is magically created entirely from inanimate matter like clay or mud and has human-like features. There’s a great silent film that was released in 1915 called The Golem. The most popular version of the legend involves Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel in the 16th century. He created the Golem to protect his people from anti-Semites.
There’s a new film coming out called The Golem that actually looks like a pretty solid and creepy movie. We have a trailer for that film today, and it follows “a woman in a devout Jewish community that is besieged by foreign invaders who believe that the Jews have cursed them with a plague. In order to protect her village, the woman conjures a creature in the visage of her deceased child which turns out to be more dangerous than she ever imagined.”
The movie was directed by The Paz Brothers, and the cast of The Golem includes Hani Furstenberg, Ishai Golen, Brynie Furstenberg, Adi Kvetner, Lenny Ravich, and Alex Tritenko.
The movie looks like it will have some cool imagery, and it might be a good flick, but if you haven’t seen the original 1915 movie yet, you should check it out!
The Golem will be released on February 5th.
