Ghoul (2015)

Touches You

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

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.

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

The found footage genre has just about ran it's course, not to say that there hasn't been some pretty good found footage films, but it's gotten to the point where this kind of film has become to go to for film makers who just want to cash in on a few jump scares while not blowing a lot of money on a big budget.There lies the problem with "Ghoul", there's is nothing about this film that makes it stand out from the massive pile of found footage horror that we have seen made in the past years. It follows the same basic story line (people making a documentary) and it throws out the same basic scenes (Jump scares, running through the woods, lots of arguing and screaming), it never tries to do anything to make itself be more than "Just another Found Footage horror flick". Blair Witch Project was a scary and interesting movie because it made us feel like we were really watching a group of people get lost in the woods, plus obviously we weren't use to seeing films filmed in that way. But now we are just way too use to everything that these kinds of films can do and it doesn't seem like the Filmmakers behind "Ghoul" had any real interest in trying to show us something we haven't seen before. If you've seen one Found Footage film then you have pretty much already seen this. It's just not good and it's really not worth your time.3/10

If you're like me, who just love scary movies for simply just being scary, then this one is for you. I don't care if the movie is inaccurate, for god sake it's just a movie (fiction, duh). But I love how it was made. Acting was decent. Location was so creepy specially those tunnels! Some of the "found footage" nowadays are just plain boring, but this one reminded me how this type of movies became my guilty pleasures. It's like Blair Witch Project but with Cannibalism, which in my opinion made it even more scary. It is 7/10 but I am giving it a 10 here because some people are giving it a low score it doesn't deserve. Worth a watch!
