Synopsis
Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018) is a Korean found-footage horror from Jung Bum-shik, ready to watch online on iFILM. A real abandoned mental hospital, shut down after a string of patient deaths and a vanished director, hides one door nobody has ever managed to open: Room 402.
The host of a YouTube horror channel recruits a crew and drags them inside for a live broadcast, chasing a million viewers. Cameras strapped to chests and foreheads, a chat scrolling in real time, and a few cheap scares the producer rigged in advance to keep the stream lively. The trouble is, the building stops cooperating with the script. Wi Ha-joon and Park Ji-hyun lead the walk through corridors where the panic feels uncut because the lens never cheats away from it.
Shot as one continuous first-person stream, the trick lands: the fear reads as genuine because you only ever see what the characters see. Best for fans of found-footage and tight, claustrophobic dread over gore. Stream Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018) online on iFILM.
