An eminent, dying Egyptologist has purchased a precious stone stolen from an Egyptian tomb which, he believes, will appease the ancient gods after his death if they are buried together. When the stone is stolen from his tomb, he returns as a ghoul furious at the theft and hell-bent on wreaking revenge upon those responsible! (Network)

I found The Ghoul to be average for its time. It is currently a horror film that just can't work anymore. Not only because it doesn't contain horror scenes, but also because it is very shallow and doesn't surprise the viewer with anything. The story even seems drawn out. But given the context of the time, I still find the film relatively passable.
