Synopsis
Tokyo Ghoul (2017) is the Japanese live-action fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. It brings Sui Ishida's hit manga to the screen. Shy college student Ken Kaneki goes on a first date and barely survives the girl across the table — she turns out to be a ghoul, a flesh-eating predator wearing a human face.
An emergency transplant using the dead ghoul's organs leaves Kaneki half-ghoul himself: ordinary food now disgusts him, and a new hunger pulls him toward human meat. Caught between two species, he hunts for somewhere to belong at café Anteiku, where ghouls hide among people and try to get by without killing. Masataka Kubota plays a young man losing, piece by piece, the person he used to be.
Director Kentarō Hagiwara carries over the source material's grim world, masks and all, along with the bony tentacle-like kagune the ghouls fight with. If you grew up on the anime or like horror about monsters with human faces, this one lands. Stream Tokyo Ghoul online on iFILM.
