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

Todor Y @Phantom961 2d This is one of those movies that starts off well for the first two-thirds of its runtime, but right at the end just when you’re expecting suspenseful moments and surprising twists it completely falls flat and becomes terribly boring. See more Jenifer M @RT01276751 3d Estuvo super genial, me encanto todo! porque sentí que estaba viendo un documental de verdad y como si todo lo estuviera viviendo en el momento. Da mucho miedito, pero super recomendada. See more Justin T. @RT00760210 5d For me, the immersion is broken every time they go to talk to the audience. Regardless of that, the start of the movie is slow, and I mean incredibly slow. The final thirty minutes are good, I just wish the rest of the movie was las good as it. The antagonist doesn’t have much going for him other than the cliche “gotta get more money/more views”. Overall it was worth a single watch just to get to the final ending scenes See more Oscar E. @oscarpac Mar 29 Meh. Nothing special. See more Brant F @destroyfascism Mar 27 As far as executing the found-footage formula, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do—and does it well. The back half actually delivers some real payoffs. If you’re looking for the next Roman Polanski screenplay, this ain’t it—but if you want a tight hour and a half of popcorn horror, you could do a lot worse.
