Based on Arabic folklore, Ghoul is set at a covert detention centre at which military officials question and often torture suspected terrorists.
In the trailer, we see Apte as an interrogator Nida who turns against her father and exposes him as an anti-government activist.
Manav Kaul plays a military officer who arrests a suspected terrorist and demands a confession from him. The tables turn when the prisoner exposes the secrets of his interrogator Apte. The official synopsis of the series reads, “You can fight the demons of this world but what about the ones that aren’t?”
Produced by the makers of Insidious, Get Out and Udta Punjab, the chilling web series will start streaming on Netflix from August 24. Written and directed by Patrick Graham, it will have three episodes of one hour each.
Sharing the trailer, the official handle of Phantom Films tweeted, “Question what you see, because fear will smear a new colour soon. Here’s the trailer of #Ghoul. Streaming on @NetflixIndia from August 24.”
