Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

tmdarby 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.

ltproductions I don't like watching movies that are 95% dark. This one of many pictures with that feature. Just like Area 51. Please make movies to watch not a dark screen Very bad camera technique. Reasonable actors Storyline is not good but the performance very bad Stop making films that are 95% dark. Watching the movie make me dizzy because of the erratic camera movement. Its a pity because I like the story.But makers think making dark movies is artistic. Its the baddest technique for viewers. If they like this technique then must use it in your own family film and don't bother the public with dark and moving camera pictures. Using light is not a sin

yun933141 So I just watched this movie and i must say. I loved it. So yes I know its not the best thought out movie but it's a found footage horror movie and for me that's saying something. If this were not a found footage i wouldn't have the same i'm there with them' feeling. I listen to all these bad reviews about how all these found footage movies that are coming out are all just a bunch off horse.... I don't get it. For me seeing this makes me feel like my eyes are the eyes of the camera which makes me feel i'm there experiencing the horror with them in conclusion scarring the bananas out of me more than a non-fond footage movie. As for this found footage horror movie I would definitely put this to my favorite horror movies collection:) I liked the story, the acting was decent and the effects were great. I give it a 9/10. That is a lot I know but i'm a fan of this particular genre:D And for you who's considering to watch this movie...Try watching this movie alone in the dark and we shall see who doesn't like found footage horror movies. Oh and don't forget to turn up the sound:P Have fun and enjoy. PS: Again the movie is veri gud:)

David Kennedy I went to see GHOUL with my recent-college-grad son and college-age daughter. I ended up wearing part of her popcorn when one of the shots scared the heck out of her. Too funny, at the time, but also a testimony to some nice crafting by the filmmakers. (Okay, maybe I jumped a little, too). Very interesting and creative use of actual historical events and real persons to create a horror movie that was made the impossible plausible, was fun to watch, and which was genuinely creepy in parts.I also bought into the basic "quest" behind the movie -- a group of movie makers investigate an actual cannibalism event for a reality show -- largely, I think, because GHOUL set up the fictional "reality" with actual historical shots of famine victims and extremely creepy shots of the base character - a real life, modern-day, convicted "cannibal", among others.For me, this blending of reality with fiction effectively jump-started, and then maintained, the story with a solid dose of plausibility.The characters who set up the supposed "reality" were also well-played and believable; in fact, their "normality" was critical to keeping me "in" the movie.All in all, a "participation" / "popcorn" movie well worth seeing, even if you end up wearing some of it.
