(Gareth Tunley/2016/UK)
Blurring
the lines between fact and fiction Ghoul delves into the unsettled
mind of Chris, a former detective working for a friend on a double
homicide case. He goes undercover as a patient to a psychotherapist
he believes is linked to the killings. By feigning mental health
issues he gets an opportunity to find evidence and a lead to a
suspect. But gradually things start to lose focus for Chris as he
becomes immersed in the life of his undercover character to the point
where it’s hard to tell which narrative is the truth. Is he really
investigating a murder or is he genuinely mentally unwell? Combined
with this are clues and conversations that point to an esoteric and
far more sinister scenario. It ends with a mind bending twist and is
a very accomplished piece of psychological horror for a debut film.
(3/5)
