Unwatchable Tripe - The Ghoul review by DaMikki

Spoiler Alert
03/01/2018

nonsensical story and is so booooooorrrrrrring and slooooooow. With lots of poor quality acting. Not a film I would recommend at all. Couldn't watch more than 30 minutes before I have to shut it off.

Spoilers follow ... - The Ghoul review by NP

Spoiler Alert
11/10/2017

It's strange: I can go through a phase of watching horror films that actually debilitate because of their lack of originality. They tell the same variations of stories, featuring a gang of deeply unpleasant people being stalked by something horrible, or a house giving up its dark secrets to the latest happily married non-entities to have moved in. It sometimes makes me wonder why I love horror so much when the limitations film-makers impose upon themselves result in such mediocrity.

And then, I can watch a run of utter gems. Often low-budget, these are films with something original to say, or at least an original way of presenting an established idea. 'The Ghoul' is one such refreshing example – at times I fought to follow the narrative because I didn't want to lose the thread of interest being weaved around events.

This is a challenging, thought-provoking story. It's far more than just 'is the horror real, or just in the mind?'

Utter Tosh - The Ghoul review by nm

Spoiler Alert
13/02/2018

Unwatchable. Dreary characters and one of those films you can tell in the first 5 minutes is going to be dire. Twenty minutes later I had had enough and pressed the eject button!.. Really don't know who these rubbish films ever get financed.
