Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum Ratings & Reviews
- CristiDumitrescuMarch 31, 2025Holy s**t, that was genuinely scary!
- Michael HeimgartnerMarch 10, 2025★★★★ – A Nerve-Shredding Experience I thought I had seen it all when it comes to horror. I was wrong. Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum didn’t just scare me—it wrecked me. This South Korean found footage film is an absolute masterclass in tension-building and atmosphere. The premise is simple: a group of YouTubers ventures into the infamous Gonjiam Asylum to livestream their exploration. But what starts as a routine haunted house challenge quickly escalates into pure terror. The film plays with your expectations, luring you in with small unsettling details before hitting you with relentless, suffocating horror. I was skeptical at first, but as the film progressed, I found myself gripping my seat, barely able to handle the escalating tension. The sound design is phenomenal, and the immersive camerawork makes you feel like you’re trapped in the asylum alongside the characters. Watching this on a big screen with surround sound? Absolute nightmare fuel. I’ve seen a ridiculous amount of horror films, yet Gonjiam made me and my friend so nervous that we had to pause at times just to breathe. That alone speaks volumes. If you’re looking for a found footage horror movie that will truly get under your skin, this is the one. Well done!
