ToddHOST
I'm surprised you don't have it yet.
BeccaHOST
Is it Gonjiam? Wait, that's not 20.
BeccaHOST
Is that 20?
ToddHOST
No, I think that's like 2016.
JasonHOST
You know, I just had a lot of problems with it.
JasonHOST
One of the major problems is that this could have been a short film.
JasonHOST
This could have been like 45 minutes tops.
JasonHOST
And I feel like you could have.
JesseHOST
Yeah.
JesseHOST
That is true.
JesseHOST
But she had to film everything.
JesseHOST
Which ultimately gets her the worst.
MeganHOST
It was international.
MeganHOST
It was the Gonjiam Asylum or Hospital, I think.
KelseyHOST
It's abandoned, right? Yes.
MeganHOST
I don't even think it may be standing anymore.
HannahHOST
So definitely try that out.
HannahHOST
I also watched a movie, it's a found footage Korean movie called Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum.
HannahHOST
It is about these YouTubers that basically decide to do urban exploration-
MattieHOST
Mm
MattieHOST
Nice
HannahHOST
...
HannahHOST
Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum for another-
MattieHOST
Both of those have, have been on my list for a long time.
Sarah AppletonGUEST
[laughs]
Matt OrozcoHOST
... you've come away saying, "Oh wow, there's so many things I didn't realize about this genr- subgenre that I probably should go check out." Like I h- I think your documentary turned me on to Don't Jump! Haunted Asylum, and I was like, "Never really heard of this movie or, uh, or near or knew of it." But just again, not being a found footage fan at the start, I was like, "I don't know if I wanna seek it out." So now it's one of, one of my favorites.
Sarah AppletonGUEST
It's terrifying.
Sarah AppletonGUEST
That's one of the scariest films I've ever seen in my life.
speaker_3HOST
I gave that four and a half stars.
speaker_3HOST
So the next film is Gonjiam Haunted Asylum 2018, directed by Jung Bum-shik, written by the director and Park Sang-min.
speaker_0ADVERTISER
Gonjiam Haunted Asylum is from South Korea.
speaker_3HOST
It's a pretty good use of the found footage genre, but taking that into live footage rather than found footage.
speaker_3HOST
And it plays with different ratios and frames on screen, so it feels a bit more immersive.
Kyle BishopHOST
So I'll, I'll give you a little heads up, and then I wanna talk about found footage for a second before we get into our, our, our main discussion.
Kyle BishopHOST
Uh, what we're gonna talk about is Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum.
Kyle BishopHOST
This is a 2018 North K- uh, North Korean [laughs] South Korean film-
Dave BeckerHOST
[laughs]
Kyle BishopHOST
... sorry, Korea, uh, that was originally titled Gonjiam, obviously.
Kyle BishopHOST
And this comes from Jung Bum-shik and, uh, co-writer Sung-min Park.
Kyle BishopHOST
And it is, uh, it is a pretty straightforward kind of structure for a found footage horror film.
21 MINS LATER
Kyle BishopHOST
One is where's the camera? Is the camera really one of the cameras the cast members have, or do the filmmakers slip and it's this, like, third camera, this fourth camera that is, is the filmmaker and it's not accounted for in the narrative? That's a big problem for me.
