Considered to be one of the most terrifying modern found footage movies ever made, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum<\/strong> is getting a remake. But hold on, it\u2019s not America (yet) that\u2019s appropriating the idea this time. Let\u2019s thank Indonesia, which might actually be a good thing. The country has put out some good horror movies in the past, and this kind of story seems like it\u2019s right up their alley. <\/p>\n According to Bloody Disgusting<\/a>, the title of the film is\u2026well, Korean Haunted Hospital<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 Sounds like a Wayans Bros. parody, but it\u2019s not. In fact, it\u2019s reported to be a very close copy of the original.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The 2018 original was directed by Jung Bum-shik<\/strong> and has the ability to get under your skin. It\u2019s a creepiness that not many filmmakers have been able to duplicate in the genre. Whether that uneasiness will transfer to Korean Haunted Hospital remains to be seen. Anggy Umbara is directing this version, which will be released next month. Where to watch? The 30th\u00a0Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival<\/strong> in South Korea.<\/p>\n \u201cI grew up surrounded by cinema. Coming from a family of filmmakers and starting my journey as a child actor, film has always felt like part of my identity,\u201d the director contends in\u00a0Variety<\/a><\/em>. \u201cAmong all genres, I have always been deeply connected to found footage because it creates a raw, intimate experience that feels frighteningly real. Films like \u2018The Blair Witch Project,\u2019 \u2018Cloverfield,\u2019 \u2018Chronicle,\u2019 and especially \u2018Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum\u2019 shaped my love for this storytelling style. When I learned this remake was being developed, I immediately knew I had to be part of it. I poured my fears, curiosity, scepticism, and excitement into every character and scene.\u201d<\/p>\n For us in the Far West, yes, there was supposed to be an American<\/em> remake; it was announced back in 2020, but so far, nothing has come of it. You can watch the original Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum<\/strong> on a wide variety of platforms, either for free or to rent or own.
