I love it. And if you\u2019ve seen it, then you know what I mean when I say that particular sound pops up in my head like a jump scare all the damn time. So, consider me curious that the film is getting an Indonesian remake dubbed Korean Haunted Hospital, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/festivals\/indonesian-horror-korean-haunted-hospital-bifan-1236769116\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/festivals\/indonesian-horror-korean-haunted-hospital-bifan-1236769116\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anggy Umbara directed from a screenplay by Lele Laila.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MD Pictures and Umbara Brothers Film produced the picture. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No word yet on specific plot details or how closely it will follow the original. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original followed a web series crew who head to an abandoned hospital for their next show, only to discover it really is haunted. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Said Umbara, \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. Among all genres, I have always been deeply connected to found footage because it creates a raw, intimate experience that feels frighteningly real. Films like The Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, Chronicle, and especially Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum 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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Added Laila, \u201cThe original Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum is one of my favorite horror films ever made. When I heard that MD Pictures had acquired the remake rights, I immediately pitched this story. My goal was to create a localized version that honors the original while bringing something new to the table \u2013 something distinct enough to justify its own existence as a remake.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Korean Haunted Hospital is set to have its world premiere on July 9th at the 30th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/bifan\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BiFan<\/a>), where it will screen in the festival\u2019s Signature section. Following that, the film will be released in Indonesia under the title 402: Rumah Sakit Angker Korea.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTags: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/tag\/anggy-umbara\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">anggy umbara<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/tag\/gonjam-haunted-asylum\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">gonjam haunted asylum<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/tag\/korean-haunted-hospital\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">korean haunted hospital<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/tag\/lele-laila\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lele laila<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">Categorized:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The found footage haunter, Gonjam: Haunted Asylum, is by far one of the scariest Korean horror films I\u2019ve&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47278,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[27708,27709,171,27710,27711],"class_list":["post-47277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-korea","tag-anggy-umbara","tag-gonjam-haunted-asylum","tag-korean","tag-korean-haunted-hospital","tag-lele-laila"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47277\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
