Rocco T. Thompson Rue Morgue Magazine 07/03/2024
A lean and mean feature that proves the increased mobility of the personal camera need not preclude the art of scare making. Go to Full Review

5/5
This is the definition of terror: needling into your brain and never offering even a morsel of relief throughout its runtime. Go to Full Review
William Schwartz HanCinema 08/20/2019
Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum is unapologetically a gimmick horror film, where the only relevant character trait is narcissism prefacing a cosmic reminder of just how insignificant any individual human life really is. Go to Full Review
Min-sik Yoon Korea Herald 01/09/2019
The blur between fiction and reality works well, but the problem is that it has been done before, and done well, several times since The Blair Witch Project popularized it in 1999. Go to Full Review

"A harmless but entertaining pop-corn movie". Go to Full Review

4/5
Beom-sik Jeong's film does not stagnate in the substitutes caused by sudden stridencies; his camera handling is intelligent, credible and the setting is crucial for the development of the story. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Braden L @Braden45 1d This movie is found footage done “mostly” right. The beginning is slow and the kids can be annoying, but it is a slow burner with the tension beginning to build. After the wall-arm scene the movie then kicks into overdrive giving effective, confusing, and truly horrifying scenes that makes you a bit confused. Overall if you enjoy found footage then this is a movie for you. A lot could have been trimmed down but it’s solid. Would recommend See more Idodeclareindeed B @Idodeclareindeed 4d The best found footage horror movie I've seen since the blair witch project. I've been watching a lot of these types of movies and almost all of them range from awful to mediocre, almost all clearly look and feel cheap, horrible acting, cheap jump scares that aren't scary. This is the first time in years that I actually feel the hair on my arms standing straight up. Amazing use of silence, darkness, proper pacing, clever use of go-pros to interchange reaction shots with the scary video footage. Seriously thrilled how good this was. See more Lumilintu A @Lumilintu Dec 30 Utterly boring, predictable, empty ... waste of my precious time. Sad, sad, sad little movie. See more pietro p Nov 5 Perhaps the found footage film with the most tense and frightening scenes in the genre See more Tom C @Tom.C Nov 1 A good scary movie, perfect for your Halloween night See more Cash M Oct 31 One of the things this movie does better than so many other found footage films is the film location.This film has an absolutely perfect ambiance and general vibe to ease into one of the scariest movies Ive ever seen. 9.5/10 See more Read all reviews
