Scott M Highly derivative of other found footage films and featuring largely generic characters. However, it offers up an abundance of well-constructed scares, strong acting, and solid pacing. Worth a watch if you like found footage horror. Just don't expect anything particularly original or surprising.

Laughed a little at one point but really well done overall. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Yash B Found footage horror movies aren't necessarily a new concept at this point in time, but using a real location as the inspiration for "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum" does make the film feel original. This movie has a good amount of setup which leads to an intense and terrifying finale. I watched this movie with a group of friends and genuinely think it would have been too scary for my taste otherwise. I do like how the movie has some mysterious elements, but I also felt it could have dived more into backstories of whatever presence was attacking the characters in the movie and felt more interesting from a story perspective. Nonetheless, I think the movie is fully functional as a thrill ride and has everything horror fanatics would want from a movie like this. Overall, it is a scary, unsettling, and engaging movie that kept me creeped out and was fun to watch with a large group.

But at the midway point the movie produces some genuinely frightening images. There are enough of those to recommend the film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Steven Y Found footage horror isn't a new sub-genre, but it's difficult to find films that do anything new with the concept. Gonjiam:HA doesn't really go anywhere fresh and it is a little clumsy in some really important places, but it's generally quite a good attempt. The setting does the majority of the heavy lifting; an abandoned asylum is obviously a creepy environment, so the storytelling and the set-pieces are already massively enabled by that context. Visually it's impressive and the performances are fairly convincing, but, as is the case with most horror, it largely loses its footing in the final act and fails to deliver the punch it spent much of the film promising. Decent, if not at all remarkable.
