GONJIAM HAUNTED ASYLUM: Modern Spin to Found Footage Horror

Description

This week, Four Play watches our first Korean film: Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum directed by Jung Bum-shik in 2018. The film is part of the found footage horror genre, popularized by other movies like the Blair Witch Project, but takes an extremely modern approach using YouTube and livestreaming to make the premise seem fresh and relevant today. While the storyline may be a weak point, Gonjiam delivers and excellent premise and incredible editing that makes the movie feel like a well-wrought haunted house.
