A fragile young man agrees to sit THE VIGIL over a newly deceased
stranger. Unlike Christian spookery, Jewish horror gets scant attention
from the movie biz ...and indeed this viewer felt a bit foreign here.
But, no collection plate is passed, and ultimately the immersion's
novelty somewhat compensates for what may have been a shoestring budget.
And, most importantly, things do look boo-ish. Somewhat recommended.

Jews have no real Hell. That cuts out a lot of potential. They're left with Golems.

I don't recall Hell being much of a menace in scary movies, just in Hallowe'en haunted houses in the Bible Belt...

If "Jewish horror" is a thing then movies with exorcisms are "Catholic horror." Laughable. Anyhoo, I thought the movie was terrific. A
premise no one has ever seen before and it created one of the creepiest atmospheres I've ever seen in a movie. It literally made me
uncomfortable to watch.
