Except for The Unborn, are there other films with a reference to Jewish mysticism?

There is a Yiddish film originating from Poland called "The Dybbuk." It was released in 1937, but has been restored and had English subtitles added by Brandeis University's Film Department. It's a really interesting film.

Looks very interesting :) It's on youtube in 13 parts, so I will see it there. Thanks for the help.

Try and find a Polish film called Demon by Marcin Wrona. Excellent!

Yes! I saw a horror film called "the Dibukk Box" that was pretty interesting and filled with Jewish mysticism. Seemed a bit more authentic than it did in this film. Check it out, it's a good watch.

Actually the film I'm talking about ("The Dybukk Box") seemed to have changed its name to "The Possession" (2012). Anyway, great film!

Aside from the 1966 "It!" featuring a Golem, mentioned below, there is also a silent 1920 film named The Golum. I just recently deleted the link but it's out there.
