My Life as a Ghoul

About This Movie

So, 'My Life as a Ghoul' is quite the odd gem from 2020. It follows Li Dingdang, a street-smart explorer in the Republic of China, on his quirky quest to uncover the truth behind his father's mysterious death during an expedition. It’s got this strange blend of action and fantasy, with a ragtag team that includes his sidekick, Fatty, and four intriguing women. The practical effects—especially in the ghoul transformations—are surprisingly well done for a low-budget feature. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but there's a certain charm in how it blends adventure with personal discovery. Plus, the performances, especially from Li Dingdang, bring a raw energy that keeps it engaging. Definitely a unique watch for anyone into the genre.
