I have been a staunch advocate of Found Footage features since the day I came to know about their existence! It's either the added touch of pragmatism or the lifelike depiction of ghastly stuff, that very much intrigues my mind & my conscience. Thus, I'm always on the lookout for these first-person perspectives.
Here, the story takes us to Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital, an age-old asylum in Gwangju-si, South Korea; that has witnessed a myriad of hauntings in recent times and moreover shares a dark past of its own. When two teenagers suddenly disappear, a group of seven people on behalf of a Horror reality show decides to go down there and investigate. Meanwhile, trying to capture plausible supernatural sightings on a live feed.
Even though blatant skepticism comes into play at the initial stages, little did they know; things were about to get real!
It's fraught with a sense of dread, nail-biting disquietude, and above all it made me gasping for breath on several occasions! A deftly crafted piece of horror that has benefitted from such a creepy location and the all-inclusive chilling atmosphere attached to it! Alongside a bunch of believable acts and likable leads; this one merits consideration.
Except for a handful of setbacks concerning its Screenplay and pacing; the broader outcome does convey a strong impression nonetheless! Had the Writing been a bit more construed and further elaborated, I would have certainly given higher remarks.
