Ghoul

Ill start by saying how much i cant stand found footage, dark or shaky cameras. This movie was obviously done w a minimal amount of $$$ yet they still managed to pull it off. Maybe its the fact that i watch so much serial killer film and documentaries, this little film intrigued me when they began talking about a cannibal serial killer whose spirit was in the house where they were to film. The acting was a bit better than Blair Witch. One thing i dont like which is in every single movie nowadays is the stupid decisions people keep making. Id like a bit more reality where people actually listen to their friends or their basic survival instincts but oh well. When those characters die horribly i feel a slight smile on my face. Anyway im rambling cuz i only rate movies on here, almost never write reviews. Watch it if youre chill and dont expect big production. Youll be surprised at how well they pull off the creepiness.

Yes, it's a clichefest, but very well-made, entertaining and scary one. If you know the culture, the language, the way Ukranian people speak, behave and live, you'd know how realistic everything is in this movie. The characters are also not as dumb as you usually see in everyone's favourite Hollywood horrors.

If you're found footage fan, I can definitely recommend this movie. I think I already watched at least a half of all digitally/physically distributed found footage movies in the world, and I can say it's a really good one.

There are at least 3 fake reviews on IMDb for this movie at the moment, one positive and 2 negatives (accounts registered only to post a review for this movie). One of these fake ones says "worst move of all time" and doesn't even say why, so connect the dots for yourself.

Nothing outright sucks about this movie, but it doesn't really do much interesting. It's not bad, but some of these reviews are truly perplexing.

If you are a found footage fan, an interesting premise and real world link are worth a single watch, but wouldn't be the end of the world if you missed it.

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!
