I watched this in a local mall and my expectations for this movie is quite low because, for myself, it is an another generic, cliched Korean horror movie that does not deliver genuine scares and dread.
At the beginning of the movie, it seems uninteresting at first but as the movie progresses it becomes interesting and quite spooky. The CGI for this movie is good and not some generic, lackluster effort. The characterization of the cast is quite genuine and performs their acts well. The eerie atmosphere in this movie adds some tension to the seriousness of the film. I despise the lighting of the movie though, it's quite dark and needs improvement over the lighting conditions. The movie manage to pull some different idea on the premise which I think, in my opinion, is an asset for this movie being a good and decent film. Not only the movie itself that is terrifying but also when you googled the setting place and you found out that the abandoned asylum is a real life abandoned establishment in South Korea, it adds another dread to people who just loves horror films.
Rating: 8/10 -> 4/5 stars

I've always liked watching real life horror stuff and also fictioned videos/movies with realistic camera angles. This movie gave me one of the best experiences with the real life feeling. It was like someone really recorded this and shared. The acting was not the best but it was enough to keep me in the movie and the feeling of it. I watched this movie 2 years ago but what made me comeback and review it was a game that I came across on Steam named "Deadly Broadcast". I believe the company was inspired by this movie. To conclude, I really like this movie because of the realistic camera work and the acting. I cannot say it's a must watch but if you are interested in the genre you should give it a chance!
Report
This is a very good entry in the found footage genre with actual decent acting and a good reason for them to be in the asylum. Because of the low quality cameras you are constantly searching the shadows for whatever lurks within them.
