Review of The Ghouls

The Ghouls (2003)
1/10
Zombie movie utterly without any value, scary or otherwise
12 June 2005
This movie was the biggest waste of money and arguably the worst movie I have ever seen. Not "worst" in the endearing Ed Wood sort of way but appallingly bad in ever respect. So bad, I resented the 50 cents or so the filmmakers will get out of my rental fee. When I came online to check out other comments and saw the rave review by one person I was more than astonished, or dumbstruck. I almost needed to turn off my computer, restart it and see if the review was still there. Name any element of a movie you can think of it and its bad here. The music reminds you of a bad '70s porno. The sound effects are almost as bad. The cinematography is so obviously reaching at "arty" but looks like the efforts of a guy thrown out of a junior high school photography class. The acting is beyond bad and the script is cringe inducing. The plot is full of convenient coincidences to cover up huge gaps in logic. The attempts at deep psychological meaning are puerile. I will agree with one thing though, the Down's Sydrome guy was good, in fact, when he steals Eric's camera it is about the only good scene in the whole movie.

I cannot see how anyone can have had any experience with even run of the mill zombie movies to say this scared the s**t out of them. It was boring and tedious and a complete waste of time and money. Warning to others – don't even bother watching it for free.
