The Gallows
Charlie Grimmell's death during the production of a high school for the play 'The Gallows' seems to have evil residue that will not end yet. Twenty years later, on the night before the revival of the play, Reese, Viver, Rayyan and Cassidy were all in the room seeking to escape from the spirit that besieged them all. The four friends are waiting for real terrorism because of the spirit of student Charlie as they face the wrath of the hateful spirit and retaliation that has returned.

I wouldn't want to definitively say The Gallows is the nadir of the found footage genre ... but I have to hope we're nearing rock bottom.

A generic, laughably incompetent found-footage horror flick...

A cautionary note: If your horror film is about a high-school theater production and still, the acting's not the worst thing about it, something's gone awfully wrong.

It may be easy to dismiss The Gallows as yet another 'found footage' movie but the film is actually a cleverly executed low-fi horror tale that manages to do a few things a bit differently and also delivers some solid scares too.

The ending is a let-down, with all attempts at plot twists falling flat.

A movie (essentially) made by teenagers, with a teenager's intelligence, and for teenagers.

In a quick 80 minutes, we get the back story, we meet the four core characters (all of the young actors do fine work), get the wits scared out of us about a half-dozen times and wind up with a VERY creepy ending.

Overall, there is nothing surprising or terrifying about The Gallows; predictable, dull and painfully by-the-book.

The Gallows has a cleverness that bobs, occasionally, above the surface of cesspool murk. You can't tell whether it's just flotsam or a corpse, but for most of the 80-minute run time it almost doesn't matter. It's at least something.

As the latest entry in the tired "found footage" horror subgenre, this on-the-cheap film has never met a cliché it didn't embrace like sweet death itself.

The lazy way The Gallows bundles its tropes together suggests that its creators' ambitions went no higher than simply getting a horror film made.

A ridiculous fusion of "Paranormal Activity" and "Glee" that is so incredibly dumb that it is almost, but never quite, scary to behold.
