Black Box Management and BH Entertainment will remake of director Jung Bum-shik’s 2018 South Korean found footage fright flick Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum.

Black Box partners Mike Dill and Lowell Shapiro said in a statement: “We are thankful to our friends at Showbox for putting their faith in us to develop Gonjiam for U.S. audiences. Korea has become a second home for us, and we are excited to help share the entertainment and culture that has captivated the world’s attention.”

Charles Pak, head of international development at BH Entertainment, added: “As Parasite has proven, the appetite for Korean content has never been higher. The partnership will further the exchange and development of Korean and U.S. adaptations, remakes and originals for both Korean and U.S. markets.”

The original found footage flick was based on a real-life psychiatric hospital of the same name and centers around a horror web series crew that travels to an abandoned asylum for a live broadcast in order to garner views and publicity.

When it was released in March 2018, it became the third most-watched South Korea horror film after A Tale of Two Sisters and Phone. It stars Wi Ha-joon, Park Ji-hyun, Oh Ah-yeon, Mun Ye-won, Park Sung-hoon, and Lee Seung-wook.
