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.

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]

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
