During one of the most horrible outbreaks in a deadly plague, a women must save her Jewish community of the cruelty of the strangers invasors making a golem that will protect them from the villains. The problem is that entity which she conjures to protect them has a cruelness that she hadn't expected.

'Golem' is based in the Jewish folklore and mythology (even when it is know around the world thanks to films and series), in which the golems are animated beings made of mud or clay. They are very obedients (they make their task putting a piece of paper in the hole of its mouth), they can't talk and they have some of the most sad and atrocious legends around them. In fact, the oldest legend comes from the Rabi of Prague.

Trivia

A deepest horror

Doron has said in an interview that "I think that the really good horror movies are much more sophisticated, dramatic, character-driven and deep. The psychology behind them is much more powerful than just seeing some jump scares and stuff like that. You can do like 1 or 2 jump scares in a horror movie, but if you?re going to do like 10 jump scares the audience eventually will want a good story".

The old tales

The most famous mythological Golem story is about the Rabbi in Prague. The basic elements of all the different versions are always the same. There are people trying to destroy Jewish villages and kill the Jews. The rabbi creates a Golem out of mud and clay and prayers and it comes to life. The Golem saves the city or town, but eventually the Golem goes out of control and is unstoppable. Finally, the rabbi has to kill it.

No, then yes

Hani Furstenberg heard it?s a horror movie and didn?t want to do it. She didn?t even come to the audition. Then, when she goes back home to New York, she read the script. She realized it wasn't really a horror movie, so she accepted.
