The Golem 2018 Hey what’s up guys. Today I’ll show
you a supernatural Horror film: “The Golem!” Spoiler head, watch out and take care!
The movie begins with a flashback showing several dead people in a synagogue,
a Jewish house of worship. They did not just die but were roughly killed. In an effort to protect
the Jewish community back then, a powerful rabbi created a God-like savior, called Golem. But as
fate would have it, the creature lost control, and began attacking even the people that it’s supposed
to protect. The rabbi approached the creature asking it to calm down. The rabbi moved closer,
and then asked the creature to open its mouth. He wanted to retrieve something from its mouth for
it to lose its power and eventually die, putting an end to the savagery. While this was happening,
a young lady was witnessing the incident. She picked up the broken glass to protect herself,
just in case the monster would come at her. She was ready. Just when the rabbi was about to
perform the task, he was distracted when the young lady stepped on a hollow floor and made a sound.
The rabbi turned around and warned her that it’s dangerous for her to be there. But the creature
then attacked and killed the rabbi. At present, Hanna gets her supply of
birth-control potion from a healer in the Jewish community. It’s been seven years
since Hanna’s son died. She and her husband have been trying to conceive another child;
but Hanna is traumatized by the untimely demise of her first child. She couldn’t bear the thought of
losing another child, because it would break her mentally; that’s why she keeps it a secret that
she has been taking birth-control potions from her husband. After getting a small bottle of potion,
she then goes to the synagogue to secretly listen to the Rabbi, who happens to be her father-in-law,
as he gathers scholars for a meeting. After the meeting, Hanna’s husband, Benjamin, speaks with
his father alone. His father has something very important about his son’s marriage.
As this happens, Hanna is beneath them under the floor, watching them
and listening to their conversation. The Rabbi wants Benjamin to divorce his wife,
since they cannot conceive again after their son’s death. The Rabbi only wants a fresh start for his
son. Benjamin refuses to concede, explaining that he can’t afford to cast his wife away,
just because she cannot bear another child. Upon leaving, Benjamin smuggles the Kaballah,
the ancient Jewish tradition of mystical interpretation of the Bible.
Later, Hanna finds out that Benjamin brought the book with him as a present. She’s thrilled
beyond words. But before giving it to her, Benjamin warns her about what it can do to her,
as it did to others who tried to read it. The book is too dangerous to read, especially for a woman.
Hanna assures her husband that she can manage. At night, Hanna applies the potion before the couple
head to their hormone session. Hanna wants to make sure she does not get pregnant again.
The following day, Hanna and her sister are by the lake talking about the sister’s marriage and their
lives. Hanna notices a stranger wearing a plague mask, looking in their direction out of nowhere.
Hanna immediately asks her sister that they go home just to be safe. On their way back, they come
across more men burying several dead bodies on plague masks. It turns out, a disease is spreading
and has killed a lot of people. For reasons unknown to the sisters at this time, the Jews are
not infected with the disease. Only the peasants are vulnerable and are dropping like flies.
During the sister’s wedding day, the festive ceremony is interrupted when some masked men,
one carrying a sick child, are headed their way. The table filled with food is cleared out, as the
child is laid on the table before the leader of the peasants confronts the Jewish community
attending the wedding. The peasants are led by the man named Vladimir; and the child he’s carrying
appears to be his own. Vladimir claims that the Jews have caused the plague as his people are
dying, while the Jewish community is unaffected. Adding insult to injury, they are celebrating as
if nothing is happening outside their community. the sister finds the intrusion offensive as this
is her special day. She goes to confront Vladimir, but gets punched in the body before she gets the
chance to speak. When the sister’s husband attempts to help his pregnant wife, Vladimir
aims a gun at him. That’s when the Rabbi comes out and tries to reason with Vladimir. There has to be
another way to resolve this without violence. Vladimir believes they are being cursed by the
Jewish people, as they are the only ones affected by the disease. The Rabbi explains
that the reason why they are not affected, is because they are isolated in their village.
But Vladimir doesn’t believe him, and proceeds to kill one person and threatens to kill more,
if the spell is not reversed and his daughter is not healed. The Jewish healer emerges and
introduces herself, and asks Vladimir to take his child to her house. She promises to do her best
to help the kid. Vladimir complies, but warns the healer that he and his men will wipe out
the entire village if they find out she fails. The Rabbi encourages everyone to repent and pray.
That’s their best weapon, as they are not permitted to leave. Hanna braves herself,
emerges from the crowd, and suggests that they fight back instead. She exclaims that prayer alone
won’t save them, but instead get them all killed. The Rabbi is astounded as they don’t have weapons
to use. Hanna then mentions creating a Golem as she learned from the Kaballah. She volunteers to
create the Golem herself. The Rabbi can’t believe what he’s hearing, and is clearly puzzled about
how Hanna got the info on how to make a golem. But it didn’t take long for the Rabbi to realize that
it must’ve been his son. Meanwhile, Benjamin has heard enough, grabs Hanna, and takes her outside.
Soon after, Hanna finds out that her sister suffered a miscarriage after being hit in
the body during the confrontation earlier. Having lost a child herself, this is the turning point,
as Hanna can no longer take it. Hanna thought she had to create the Golem before it was too late,
since her small Jewish community was vulnerable without a savior. She then sneaks into the
synagogue, their house of worship, and finds the 72 secret names of God hidden in the Torah,
their holy book, in order to reveal the code of Merkabah, which could create a Golem. She then
goes outside to form a mud sculpture of the Golem, then completes the procedure. All of a sudden,
Hanna passes out after completing the ritual. Back at home, Benjamin finds out Hanna has been
using birth control without his knowledge. Benjamin can’t believe she’s been doing this
behind his back for seven long years. By the time Hanna gets back, she tries to explain;
but Benjamin is not having any of it. Benjamin expresses his anger by telling her that he can
no longer stand the sight of her. Maybe his father was right all along. It’s time to cast her away.
In the morning, Hanna wonders why her horse appears to be restless and stressed out in
the barn. She goes over to the barn to check what’s going on. She finds out the
Golem is also in the barn, terrifying the poor horse. The Golem looks like her son who died.
When she tries to approach him, the Golem suddenly disappears. Hanna looks for him outside and into
the woods; but she can no longer find him. Hanna then discovers that some men have been secretly
following her in the forest to kill her. As soon as she notices, Hanna runs as fast
as possible, as men with evil intentions are chasing her. She manages to get away from them,
but not for long. Moments later, she is cornered and captured. They tie her up before hoisting her
up to be killed. Fortunately, the Golem saves her when she’s about to be executed by hanging.
They then go back to the barn where the Golem is supposed to stay.
Hannah reads in the Kabbalah that golems will evolve or transform. She returns to the barn,
and takes the boy with her to clean up. The healer finds out Hanna has already created a Golem.
She warns Hanna about what the creature can do; Hanna explains that they don’t have a choice,
as no one will protect them from the restless peasants. Without the Golem,
the angry peasants could quickly kill them and burn their villages to the ground. Hanna
justifies that the Golem is their only hope. Later, the healer speaks to the Golem, and tells
him that she witnessed what his kind did before, when it killed the enemies but also the ones it
was supposed to protect. The healer warns Hanna to get rid of the Golem once the peasants are under
control and the threat of Vladimir is gone. Hanna promises that she will. In fact, Hanna wants to
get rid of him now upon hearing what the healer told her. Hanna tries to drown the Golem without
his knowledge, by pushing his head underwater. However, the move doesn’t have any effect on him
as if nothing happens. Hanna is now convinced that the Golem cannot be killed using any humane ways.
On a different occasion, Hanna discovers her husband is seeing another woman.
The Golem can feel Hanna’s emotions. He comforts Hanna while planning his next move.
He then proceeds to kill the other woman brutally. The next day, the village is shocked
to see the mutilated body of the woman, as if wild animals had attacked her. The whole Jewish
village believes that the peasants killed her. Next, the sister’s husband secures a gun after
learning that his wife suffered a miscarriage from the attack. Benjamin warns that using
guns will be their downfall, as the peasants will retaliate and kill them all. Despite the warning,
the sister’s husband uses the firearm when a confrontation with the invaders happens again.
He points the gun at one of them; but he gets killed during the encounter.
Amid the chaos, The Golem manages to get close to Vladimir, ready to rip his heart out;
but Hanna stops the Golem just in time. Hanna then negotiates and tells Vladimir to leave the
village with her daughter, who has just been healed. Without hesitation, Vladimir carries
his child and leaves the village peacefully. Soon after, Benjamin and Hanna are together
again after they forgive each other. Benjamin is now fine with the existence of the Golem,
and even bonds with him by playing the violin to his delight. As the couple are busy with
their family therapy at night, the healer sneaks in, trying to kill the Golem. This
is the Healer’s only chance to get rid of this monster before it starts to turn against them.
However, The plan backfires as she is killed instead. Her body is then hidden in the attic.
While lying in bed, Benjamin notices that there’s blood coming from the attic. He goes upstairs to
check where it comes from. He’s stunned to see the dead body of the healer. She has been murdered.
He confronts the Golem about what he did; but Hanna interferes in protecting the monster.
Benjamin pleads that they get rid of the Golem as it kills innocent people. However, Hanna insists
that he’s just a boy, and there’s no evil in him. But it’s more than that. Hanna grows affectionate
with the Golem since it resembles her late child. Benjamin then runs towards the synagogue to see
his father. He informs him the Golem is a threat to everyone, including Hanna.
Benjamin witnessed what it’s capable of doing after killing the healer. He asks for his father’s
help to save Hanna and kill the Golem. The rabbi then orders Benjamin to gather ten loyal men,
trying to form a squad and destroy the creature before it’s too late.
Meanwhile, Vladimir realizes his daughter has died of plague, despite being initially healed
by the Jewish healer. He always believed that the Jews caused the disease to spread.
So Vladimir then gathers all his men, and returns to the Jewish village to punish them
once and for all. When they arrive, they start to set the village on fire, kill everyone resisting,
and head towards the synagogue. At the same time, Benjamin and his team are able
to lure the Golem to the village house of worship, where the Rabbi can perform the ritual that can
kill the ungodly creature. They are able to lure the Golem using a violin, as the boy appears to be
captivated by it. The Rabbi then begins to perform an ancient ceremony to get rid of the monster.
The Golem is starting to feel its power; but the ritual is interrupted as the Golem is enraged
after sensing that Hanna has been attacked right outside the synagogue by Vladimir. The Golem then
kills the Rabbi, and goes out to save Hanna. Vladimir is on the verge of killing Hanna with
an ax; but the Golem gets to Vladimir first. The ungodly creature easily rips Vladimir’s heart out.
Afterward, upon seeing that the village is under attack, the Golem goes on a rampage,
killing everyone in his path. Benjamin uses the opportunity
to beg Hanna to put an end to the brutality. With a heavy heart, Hanna kisses the boy one
final time, removing the scroll of God’s name from its mouth. The Golem then dies,
ending its rampage. The couple then shares a hug while the village remains on fire.
In the end, the parchment taken away by Hanna from the boy, flies away, and ends up in the hands of
Vladimir’s daughter, signifying that further revenge and rampage are around the corner!
