Ghouls tackle what was a promising film about a pastor's wife discovering her feminine power through a transformation but instead finds a film that fails to deliver any empowerment at all.

\nGabe explains the disappointment of the film and why it should know better. Kat shares historic atrocities that were blamed on vampires.
