Movie 'Homecam' Releases Unique Audience Reaction Video Shot with In-Seat Cameras

The upcoming horror film 'Homecam' is generating buzz with an innovative promotional strategy: a reaction video featuring audience responses captured by cameras placed directly in the theater seats. The production team released this unique footage on the 5th, highlighting the viewers' unfiltered fear.

'Homecam' tells the story of Seong-hee (played by YOON SE AH), an insurance investigator who becomes trapped in terror after witnessing a mysterious presence through a home security camera installed in her house. This special reaction video was filmed using cameras set up in each seat of the Tempur Cinema at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall, capturing the audience's real-time reactions. The combination of the 'homecam' theme and the notorious reputation of movie theaters as spooky locations naturally sparked curiosity about whether supernatural events might be captured on film.

The video shows the audience initially relaxing in comfortable reclining seats, but gradually becoming more tense and sitting upright as they get immersed in the film. Their reactions to scary scenes are pure and varied – some covering their faces with hands or blankets, others hugging their companions, and some squeezing their eyes shut. The footage also surprised the crew when the motion-activated camera suddenly shifted its focus from the audience to the ceiling.

Viewers shared their thrilling experiences, commenting, "I started watching lying down but became so tense I had to sit up," "The realistic homecam footage made it even eerier and more immersive, the tension was insane," "I got goosebumps every time the homecam screen appeared," and "Watching this makes me reconsider installing a home camera." These comments reflect how deeply they connected with the protagonist's terrifying ordeal.

'Homecam's' teaser trailer has already garnered over 3.35 million views, setting a record for the most-watched horror film video on CGV's Instagram. This new audience reaction video is expected to receive a similarly enthusiastic response. The film is set to premiere in CGV theaters on the 10th.

YOON SE AH made her acting debut in the 2005 drama 'Lovers in Prague' and has since solidified her position as a versatile actress. She is consistently loved for showcasing a wide acting spectrum across various genres. Her recent work includes a notable performance in the drama 'Lady Danger'.
