A lean and mean feature that proves the increased mobility of the personal camera need not preclude the art of scare making.

This is the definition of terror: needling into your brain and never offering even a morsel of relief throughout its runtime.

Rated: 5/5

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.

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.

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]

I myself am not the biggest found footage guy. But hot damn they knocked it out of the part. The screaming from the girls and the guys was kind of annoying but it's a solid movie all the way until 1 hour in and then it's spectacular

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This film offers a refreshing perspective on the found footage genre, skillfully utilizing the filming technology of its era, including camera harnesses, CCTV, and drones. The camera angles effectively capture the visceral terror on each character's face as they navigate their harrowing experiences, heightening the horror to an intense degree. While the narrative takes some time to build, the supernatural events, once introduced, maintain a relentless pace until the credits roll. The supernatural elements avoid clichéd depictions, and the makeup and costumes are executed with taste and precision. Notably, this film features characters who deviate from the typical 'stupid' person trapped in a horror film trope, making commendable decisions that ultimately, and satisfyingly, lead to their downfall.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
