Eric Hayes (Timothy Muskatell) makes his living as a news stringer finding gruesome atrocities and filming them to sell to the media.

One night, he stumbles upon some ghouls devouring a young woman in an alley.

After discovering that he did not have any film in his camera, Hayes convinces his friend Clift (Trent Haaga) to help him track down the ghouls again.

The film was independently produced and shot guerrilla style in Los Angeles[1] on Mini DV for $15,000.

[2] The Ghouls has been described as "a no-budget horror opus"[1] and a "vicious cross between Paparazzi and Kolchak: The Night Stalker".
