Creepy stuff!

Warning: Spoilers
I have a strange relationship with found footage type films. Some I just do not care for (The Blair Witch Project) and others I enjoy a lot (As Above, So Below). This one is in the latter category as I really enjoyed it. Sure, it took a minute to get going, but once it did, it was really disturbing in places. I enjoyed the setting as I do believe it is an actual location and that is supposed to be haunted and I liked the characters, with the exception of the Captain!

The story has an internet channel devoted to horror locales planning an expedition to the strange asylum where two other people and possibly more have disappeared. Within the walls, it seems, is a room said to be cursed! Well, I am guessing during the meetup scene, there are three people from the actual website and four guests or something? We see them take a trip and go diving in water, then set up camp and have delicious looking ramen before they enter the hospital! We learn that some of it is staged, but soon things begin to get very weird and go very wrong and we have creepy black eyes, rooms full of furniture going on the ceiling and the terror behind the accursed room!

I like the actors as they seemed to be very genuine. The girls were all cute, but then I have a thing for Asian women, to me, they are the most attractive women ever! I would feel horrible terrifying them the way the guys trying to pull the place off as haunted were doing. Though, then things got real and that Captain still was worried about money despite seeing that room where everything started going crazy and the one guy was knocked out cold! He was the only one I wanted to get his, but all the others I felt bad for.

So it was good and creepy, though at times I was wondering if things were supposed to be freezing up or if it was my internet. There were also things that did not make sense, like releasing a drone so far from the place they were going...most of those things have a maximum 30 minute flight time and it really seemed a bizarre inclusion. Still, not as strange as going in the water when it looked like it was rather cold...though not sure how Korea is during October, maybe it wasn't too bad. All the fright was good though and I would enjoy more movies of this sort. I guess I like it when they do found footage where they actually show something of note on screen.
