Following this, she is a given a new task, get a confession from a mysterious prisoner who keeps repeating the words: "Reveal their guilt. Eat their flesh."
Gradually, the prisoner turns the tables on his interrogators, exposing their most shameful secrets. The logline for the series states: "You can fight the demons of this world but what about the ones that aren't?"

This trailer looks promising, implying the show will creep out horror fans. It's interesting to see chillers from non-Western countries as they often deal with ideas and themes new to viewers from this side of the world.
While Ghoul looks like it will fit in with Blumhouse's staple of horror nicely, the plot regarding censorship and government/military control may give audiences something new.
The series is out in Ireland August 24, 2018
