Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (South Korea, 2018)

The crew of a horror web series travels to an abandoned asylum for a live broadcast. It soon encounters much more than expected as it moves deeper inside the nightmarish old building.

Gonjiam is quite far from being original, even its title is so over-used it's almost invisible. That being said, it's actually not bad. Sure, the director basically rips off classic horror films we've all seen before, The Blair Witch Project (1999) being the most blatant, but with a more modern spin on the story with a live-streaming thing going on. Even though it's stuff we have seen before the film creates a haunting atmosphere and if you're going in not expecting the scariest film of the year there's definitely some great moments in here.
