Keswick Film Club - The Ghoul

Synopsis

Chris, a detective, feigns mental illness to get near the psychiatrist treating his suspect. "Except that, from these fake, fictive therapy sessions, a different truth will emerge...

All the pieces of the puzzle are there, but the parallel pathways offered by Chris' co-existent insider and outsider POVs lead together – again and again – to a place that neither one alone could reach...'The Ghoul' is the best journey through a damaged brain you will take all year - and the sign of a very impressive new British filmmaking talent" - Anton Bitel, Projected Figures.
