    The Ghouls (2003)

    Director: Chad Ferrin
    Horror/Gore

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387254/




    The story is about low-life Eric Hayes (Timothy Muskatell) who is a stringer. A stringer is a reporter who gathers footage of police chases, murder and general mayhem. Eric then sells this footage to people like the seedy entrepreneur and broadcaster played by Joseph Pilato ......Captain Rhodes from Day of the Dead.... One night, while lurking the backstreets of L.A., he stumbles across a group of creepy looking people who are tearing apart and devouring a woman. He doesn't help, he films it. Thinking he has footage that's worth a fortune, he tries to sell it but discovers that the camera didn't have a tape in it. Fuck! So, he then goes on a quest to find these ghouls and capture their deeds on camera. However, the more he searches, the more he is drawn into their dark and forbidding world. The grainy and grimy look of the film perfectly fits the mood and tone of this film. The FX are impressive and Ferrin knows how to handle gore scenes well, never staying too long, but long enough so you get the idea. Apart from the excessive brutality , "The Ghouls'' is an interesting character study about the depths of the human soul.




    Movie Trivia:Chad Ferrin sold his 1968 Ford Mustang to make the film.

    The Ghouls won the 2003 "Sinners Award" at the Saints and Sinners Film Festival.


    My Thoughts: I like Chad Ferrin's style. This is one of four films I saw by him. Easter Bunny Kill! Kill!, Someone's Knocking at the Door and Unspeakable. Ummmm, I will post a thread on the last film when I can come up with some words for it

    Film Style: 7.. Gritty just like the filthy back streets Eric lurks.
    Gore:7..Fuckin beautiful
    Shock Value: 7
    Overall Rating: 7/10......Lucky number 7 across the board!!!

    Cool voice over on the trailer, but Shot on Video flix are so hard to get into. The Video Dead is the only one i've ever liked.

    Always debated renting this, but I knew nothing about it and never bothered to check online. Looks like I'll need to check this out......

    I own da movie. My buddy bought it in a two pack along with Hannibal Rising. He gave it to me for the hell of it. I thought it was decent for an ultra low budget movie but the movie had to have more ghouls. 5/10

    I agree with steelba said.... shot on video is just so hard to get into... it just looks cheap and takes away from the experienceq

    Even with that Darkgod this still grabs me. Must admit there are other things in line before this though!
