 Gonjiam : Haunted Asylum (2018) - Jung Bum-shik.

A livestream of a popular online horror series is disturbingly interrupted by inexplicable, increasingly supernatural events that very soon threatens the lives of our freaked out ghost hunters. The creepy South Korean shocker Gonjiam : Haunted Asylum is a fun, jump-scare laden treat for found footage horror fans. Not the most inventive Korean horror film, but it's well-made, energetically mounted, and aficionados of Asian horror should appreciate the spooky content. I'm actually quite surprised how much I enjoyed this, the young cast are lively, the oppressively dank-looking asylum is a suitably grim location, and the capable director certainly delivers the ghoulish goods in the enjoyably hectic climax!
