The Ghoul is an occult British thriller about depression, with a bleakly poetic view of London, and a seedy sadness at its core.
August 04, 2017
Like the oft-referenced Möbius strip, lots of empty surface, precious little feeling.
September 05, 2017
Writer/director Gareth Tunley's moebius strip of a movie is a puzzle piece like "Memento" crossed with the satanic tone of executive producer Ben Wheatley's "Kill List" and Simon Rumley's "The Living and the Dead's" unsettling portrait of mental illness.
August 03, 2017
The title suggests an orgy of the undead loaded with jump scares, but this is a more restrained and more disturbing proposition. The monster here is metaphorical: part depression, part manic obsession.
August 18, 2017
The British import The Ghoul is a clever, deceptively chilly example of narrative unreliability, presenting an increasingly askew perspective in a way that's somehow both off-putting and absorbing. It lingers.
August 04, 2017
The Ghoul proves to be a dark, atmospheric and surprisingly moving portrayal of a crumbling psyche.
August 11, 2017
Tunley confirms his mastery of macabre moods here. Now he needs a bigger budget and a broader canvas.
August 03, 2017
Sinuously photographed by Benjamin Pritchard, this will have your head spinning for days.
August 07, 2017
Chris's depression is well drawn out, but when the film broadens into vague questions about the occult, it becomes unfocused, before finishing up with a hammy scene that undoes much of the careful characterisation that came before.
August 03, 2017
It may not withstand close scrutiny but The Ghoul provides a workout for the little grey cells and suggests Tunley is a filmmaker to watch.
November 01, 2016
British writer-helmer Gareth Tunley makes an auspicious debut with this blend of Lynchian psychodrama with low-budget cop mystery.
August 06, 2017
First time writer/director Gareth Tunley marshals the meagre resources of this micro-budget psychological thriller and creates a pleasingly perplexing enigma of a movie.
