Set in 17th century Eastern Europe, The Golem 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. The leader of the invaders threatens to destroy the whole village if his dying daughter, who has been infected by the plague, isn’t cured. In order to protect her village, a woman conjures a creature in the visage of her deceased child, which turns out to be more dangerous than she ever imagined. The Golem is the kind of genre film that is perfect for midnight screening audiences. From a well thought out script from the writer Ariel Cohen to meticulous direction, there aren’t any boring moments during the whole film. Israeli filmmakers the Paz brothers’ The Golem is their second feature and premiered at this year’s London FrightFest in August.
