Ghoul rewards attention for much of its running time with subtle scares and growing unease, before squandering it in a shaky chase through twisted corridors that goes nowhere unexpected.

GHOUL is a supernatural horror film involving the real life story of the Soviet Union's most violent serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo. Three Americans travel to the Ukraine to film a documentary about the cannibalism epidemic that swept through the country during the famine of 1932. After being lured deep into the Ukraine forest for an interview with one of the last known survivors, they quickly find themselves trapped in a supernatural hunting ground.

Movie Nation by Roger Moore
The performances don’t register, the filmmaking produces a couple of hair-raising images and a few ghoulish/gross ones.
Los Angeles Times by Martin Tsai
Ghoul can't decide whether it should be about cannibals, serial killers, ghosts or demons.
The Hollywood Reporter by Justin Lowe
As low-budget horror filmmaking goes however, this is derivative, uninspired material.
