Ghoul

A group of amateur paranormal investigators enters an abandoned asylum, rumored to be haunted by a malevolent entity known as "The Ghoul." As they delve deeper into the decaying structure, their skepticism is shattered when they encounter terrifying phenomena and realize they are not alone. The entity feeds on their fear, picking them off one by one as they struggle to survive the night and escape the asylum's sinister grasp.
