I am just going to say I am not happy with the current positive reviews on this website of this movie. I looked at the reviews and then went and saw the movie and it was bad. So actually in retrospect the low rating is correct just the User reviews don't add up... Luckily I went on a Tuesday at my local theater so it only cost me $2.00 for the ticket...
That being said if you are going to see this movie be aware it is a FOUND FOOTAGE FILM. To make myself clear that means the ENTIRE movie is filmed with someone holding a camera pretending as if what they are recording is happening in front of them. Not to say all found footage films are bad just most aren't great. This is one of those films.
The film starts off with someone recording a school play. A scene in the play shows someone on "The Gallows" about to be hanged. Well as you guessed it the lighting goes dark for a second during the play and someone is actually hanged. Moving forward into the film another set of high-schoolers are doing the same play in the same room as the one with the ghost in it. Some people decide to come back during the night to ruin the set and as you guessed it a ghost causes terror on them.
The entire time during the film where the high-schoolers are stuck in the school being terrorized by a ghost the extent of the special effects are that of the camera picture messing up, the screen going dark, and noises being heard. The actual killing I am not going to ruin for you but I can say it has to do with "The Gallows". The actual scaring is mostly jump scares/camera going dark and something being there... Not that scary to be honest with you.
Overall, the way it was filmed just ruined the movie. It's not that it can't be good just because it is a found footage type of film but the way it was done made the movie feel bad.
If I were you I'd skip this film but if you are like me and see it in your local theater and it costs only $2.00 maybe consider watching it if there isn't anything better playing. Anyways I hope this review helps you and doesn't spoil too much of the film for you.
