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

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.

The addition of references to real historical events & people made this film captivating and gave it an authenticity that most movies lack. Yes, some elements have been done before, but to hate the film just for that while ignoring the unique elements is unfair. The story was well thought out, the acting superb and the settings and set design perfectly framed the mood. Worth your time if you don't have a short attention span, enjoy learning about world historical events and enjoy a fun, escapist romp.

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.

So it's not winning any awards, but the extreme difference in reviews is weird. So here's my no spoiler take on it:

Def not a 10, or a 1 either, my 7 i think was pretty accurate, maybe low considering how much they did with no budget (i assume). Too bad I can't throw in a .5 lol. Look into that IMDb!

I don't like found footage type movies, I thought the blair witch project was utter crap.

The acting in this movie is much better, actually I'd go as far as to say the acting was believable, which is rare, especially considering the script has to make them seem like actual people for that. Most of them did great.

They did some other things really well in this movie, including the use of the camera light, which I would normally find annoying, but somehow they made it work.

If you want to watch a half decent horror flick, and god knows there aren't many out there, this isn't a bad way to go. I think I liked it because it combined different kinds of creepiness, and it didn't do it badly.

Maybe I was lucky because I went in not having read or seen anything about the movie, but still didn't expect much never having heard of it.
