Ghoul

Out of all the found footage horror films i've seen, this one at least kept me entertained from start to finish, plot was good and it continued to build throughout the film, didn't take an hour and 30 minutes for anything to happen like the blair witch project, i really enjoyed it, Acting was good not great but the story was a lot of fun and completely had me sold from the beginning to end, it didn't rely on jump scares like most of these found footage horror movies do and it was creepy as all hell, not sure why all the horrible reviews i thought it was great. I would recommend this movie to anyone not looking for the next Oscar winner but just a late night good old fashion horror flick that is as intense as can be from start to finish

There have been loads of found footage ghost films out there, and there are more, and more continuing to be made. Some unique, with lots to offer, and some just seeming to be the same as the last. "Ghoul" typically gives nothing really new to the table, giving us the same exact plot, and direction as many, many other found footage paranormal films.

The story tries to make itself stand out from the rest, a story to be remembered, and unique. Though, here, they completely fell flat. The movie tried to pass off to the audience a plot, and or story of which has small things to offer, yet not enough to make this film stand out from the rest of the others just like this. The story here is completely clichéd, we've all seen it before, a couple of people who know each other really well decide to head off to a far off location to shoot a documentary, of which goes horribly wrong. We've seen this exact same plot elsewhere, this movie just duplicates the exact same plot, and executes it! The only thing remotely different is that there's different actors / characters, and a different location. As said before, it may of seemed like a really unique idea, but when actually shown it's not enough, making the plot, as well as the movies entire story just another copy of a different found footage paranormal film you've all probably seen before at least once.

The characters in this movie, as well as completely clichéd. You have your insecure girls of which have second thoughts, and begin to freak out. Then, you have the two guys, both different. One insecure, and unsure of half the decisions the other makes, the tough character. I can't emphasize this enough. We have all seen this before. The characters in this film make, pretty much the same choices you've seen in other horror films, some stupid, some smart, and some just flat out questionable. The point being the characters in this movie have been seen millions of times before; I just recently saw a film featuring a character JUST like one seen in this film! The acting, of which, of course follows these characters wasn't bad .. at some points. At parts of the film the acting was meant to be at it's best, these actors seemed to only overact they're parts a bit. For example, when a character is lead to a situation of despair, these characters seemed to be overacting that said situational part. But for the most part of the movie, the actors kept a solid share of serious parts. Overall, acting wasn't TOO bad, but at the same time, though the actors seemed to overact a bit, turning out to be noticeable.

Finally, for this so called Ghoul. Or in this case, the devilish villain the movie presents. It was fine at first, but fell a bit flat. At first, the movie gave the audience a somewhat mystery - like look into the ghoul, giving us little information on it, and allowing out imaginations to do the work. Around the middle, to end of this movie.. it simply falls flat. The ghoul's identity has finally been unleashed. For what that stood for, it was quite frightening, but decided to completely fall flat when the ghoul was actually visually seen from the audience. The visually seen ghoul honestly wasn't the best, not only because the cinematography / camera shook all around when the visual points of time came, but when audiences could actually get a clear view, it didn't exactly pay off. It simply seemed amateurish, not making the cut. In conclusion, the enemy here had a good profile without visual appearance. But when audiences finally saw him, it didn't exactly pay off, and it was amateurish.

This movie was just completely clichéd! They tried making it unique, and fresh, but failed completely, instead, this movie just proves to be yet another found footage paranormal film. It offers little to nothing new, and all attempts just didn't exactly make the cut. In conclusion, this film was just. Eh. You've seen this exact same act millions of times before, nothing different except the scene, and characters. I'd recommend this to those who are simply bored with nothing else to watch. But for any horror fan looking for something fresh, and new, you defiantly need to go elsewhere.

Found footage movies are okay if they are done right. This one was done pretty well. I liked the plot quite a bit, and it was an interesting take on Andrei Chikatilo. The people that made this movie also must have done a fair amount of research into Chikatilo because they did a great job relaying his story. A lot of movies don't do that any more. They paid subtle respect to the true story of that real monster in a lot of ways that people may not have noticed. Chikatilo did most of his murders in rowed forest area's, just like where they are in the movie. The information about his brother is very accurate, according to Chikatilo anyway. The acting was pretty well done for a low budget movie, and it was a very creepy story.

A lot of the criticism on here isn't warranted. It seems if the story doesn't hit you over the head with the plot now days people don't get it. It's fun to have to think about what happened, give it a try. Also the camera was shaky because that's how a found footage movie should look.

Honestly I thought it was a pretty good film.

I loved every second of this one and I'm sure other die hard fans of the found footage genre will too!

Pretty standard plot, but the setting and execution were near flawless. I have no complaints other than a few cheap jump scares towards the beginning. Other than that, this was a really cool movie!

I ran into this movie by accident, but I am happy I did. I must say that this movie is underrated, and in it's category - docu footage horror, it's one of the best I've seen. Unlike in Bkairwitch, where you are tortured for hours by yells and crackling sounds without ever seeing some actual horror scene, here you get your portion of horror. Gradually things go more intense and you try to understand who is good and who isn't.

The plot isn't much complex, but clear enough to make you enjoy what happens in between. The acting is actually good and believable.

For sure, I would not stay there for a day longer, as obviously things were not right there when a person disappeared, but they did stay... And that's why you have something to watch now:-)

The final was ok, but I would prefer a happy ending at least for one of the characters, still this way it's more realistic.

Life is not a Fairy tale after all.
