As someone who is pretty desensitized to horror, the last 30 minutes or so were terrifying.

Asian horror does it again. Taking a relatively (nowadays) common gimmick of using internet culture as a catalyst for a horror film, this movie starts off slow with a lot of predictable setup, only for the back half to slam into you like a truck with brilliant visuals, visceral imagery, and enough jump scares to make this the perfect lesser known gems to show your friends!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Contains all the usual tropes which are par for the course with this sort of thing, but it's pretty well handled and delivers a solid spooky atmosphere in the final act even if it is rather slow to get going.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

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.

Korea Herald

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]

Rated: 4/5

La Nación (Argentina)

A formula designed for adolescent and young adult spectators, intelligent enough not to underestimate them. [Full Review in Spanish]
