While researching a cannibalism epidemic in the Ukraine, three Americans come face to face with the evil spirit of the region's most violent serial killer and cannibal.

Martin Tsai

Los Angeles Times

"Ghoul" can't decide whether it should be about cannibals, serial killers, ghosts or demons. The found footage trivializes rather than reflects the horrific events that serve as the film's basis.

Ghoul rewards attention for much of its running time with subtle scares and growing unease, before squandering it in a shaky chase through twisted corridors that goes nowhere unexpected.

There are several levels of horror at play in Ghoul, and this layered approach to an oft-misunderstood genre comes from a director who seems keenly aware.

It went into a whole lot of just trying to please the audience and I wasn't really about it... but there were some really good subplots in this movie.

Rated: 5/10

Without leaving the horror formula behind, the director know how to dosify horror and suspense, delivering a very haunting ending. [Full review in Spanish]

It's time to accept that the "based on a true story" legend is completely meaningless. [Full review in Spanish]

Great concept, starting with totally horrifying real-life events. The movie does really well in places before reverting to a pretty run-of-the-mill horror movie.

If you enjoy The Blair Witch Project, As Above So Below and films like that you'll have a decent time with Ghoul. The scares dont happen for awhile but once the paranoia sets in and the crew gets stranded the film becomes a lot more fun. The ending has lots of shaky cam which ruins some of the creepy visuals and the movie takes too long for the good stuff to start happening. Definitely worth a watch if you need something new to view. As of now its included with Amazon Prime
