The Gallows (2015) User Reviews

"You suck. You're a terrible actor."

[utgard14 · 4/10 · 18 October 2015]

Twenty years ago, a student died in a high school play called The Gallows. Now the school is putting on the play again, with a jock who can't act as the male lead. The jock's irritating friend convinces him the play will stink and he will be embarrassed. So, along with another friend, they sneak into the school at night to trash the set so it will be cancelled. But they are discovered in the act by the play's lead actress and then everything goes to hell as the four find themselves trapped in the building with the vengeful ghost of the boy who died in The Gallows.

Another found footage movie trying to find a hook in a played out horror subgenre. It has most of the usual found footage problems, including my favorite: characters continuing to film the terrifying goings-on in the movie even when all logic would dictate they should drop the camera. One particularly galling scene is when one character is running for his life and has to climb a ladder to escape the hangman ghost thing (don't ask). The guy holds onto the camera with one hand the entire time he climbs the ladder. I mean, come on, that's beyond stupid and unrealistic. The characters are very annoying in this. The guys are the worst, with Ryan Shoos giving new meaning to the word obnoxious and Reese Mishler having a slack-jawed wide-eyed expression on his face the entire movie. I can only assume he calls that acting. The highlight of the film is when Ryan's character calls Reese's character a bad actor. That the characters also share the names of the actors just made the scene all the more enjoyable. I'm sure Ryan loved getting to say what he was thinking about his fellow actor without breaking character. The two girls, Cassidy Gifford and Pfeifer Brown, are fine but ultimately forgettable. It's not a scary movie in any way. The beginning is very boring but, once it gets going, it at least manages to keep your attention. You probably won't like it much but try to stick with it for the unbelievably corny ending.

"The Gallows": This stinker hangs it's own self.

[jtncsmistad · 4/10 · 10 March 2016]

From thequickflickcritic.blogspot.com/

I went in to "The Gallows" with an open mind. And, MAN, was my brain shut down but at HYPER speed.

Aimless wandering through the seemingly interminable catacombs of a haunted high school. Entering dark and ominous halls and rooms which were everything short of SCREAMING at these clueless kids "You'll get killed" and for no discernible reason whatsoever. And, I swear, one more shot of a hand slowly opening a door to who knows what the hell (yet usually not a DAMN THING) and I'll put the flippin' noose around my own neck for crissakes!

The ending (and thank God there finally WAS one) was admittedly and actually kinna cool. But it was WAY too little too late to keep this weak and wearisome found footage flop from hanging itself by it's own regurgitated premise rope.

I Have No Clever Analogy. It Just Sucked.

[ralo229 · 2/10 · 7 August 2015]

Remember back when the found footage style was a unique style of filmmaking and only a handful of films used it? (I.E. The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, Rec.) But it's common knowledge nowadays that it's become a cliché and a cheap gimmick for studios to save on production costs. Most of the time, there is almost no effort put into the film's storyline, characters, or scares. The Gallows certainly doesn't help its case.

Pros:

-A few decent performances

-Good production design

-Has the potential to be scary

Cons:

-Insufferable main character

-Bullshit plot twist that makes no sense

-Plot itself is nonsensical

-Relies on cheap jump scares

-Has a few good ideas, but they're usually screwed up somehow.

-Found footage style is given no explanation

3/10 (Horrible)

This awful movie will have you begging to be on the hanging end of a rope before it's over...

[MovieMama625 · 1/10 · 24 July 2015]

Do not, I repeat, Do not fall for the made up 10 star reviews...( It's obvious those affiliated with producing this garbage want to pique the interest of others so they give fake ratings & reviews, hoping others will be interested enough to see it- & they make more $$) Take it from me, Wasting my $ & time on this terrible so-called "movie" left me leaving the theater very upset I wasted $ on this trash & annoyed. All found myself wanting to do, was to drop-kick the blonde, camera-holding, guy. (.Whoever decided THAT guy has any talent in acting, needs to have their heads examined.,I can only surmise he has a family connection or paid to be in the film) The story/ acting was way too cheesy to be scary. I have nothing positive to say about this film. It was just plain junk. When I went to see it, it was opening weekend, therefore, there weren't many reviews or ratings accumulated to get a real idea of whether or not it was going to be any good. I believe this crap actually had a 6.1 rating...Now, for horror movies- I considered that to be relatively high ( even from just a couple hundred ratings) Wow, was I duped!! Now,after seeing ( most of ) the movie ( ended up walking out, it was THAT BAD) and then seeing the 10 star reviews, I KNOW the ratings on here can't be trusted...( until you see at least 5,000 - 10,000 people rated it) SO- save your $ , time & irritation -skip this boring, sad excuse & find something better...

Time is Irreversible and Life Is too Short to Spend Watching Low-Quality Films (Like This One)!

[claudio_carvalho · 1/10 · 2 March 2016]

I saw "The Gallows" with low expectations, but at least expecting to see a decent horror movie, based on the IMDb User Rating (4.3). However, the film is awful in every aspect: the storyline is poor; the twist is nonsense and ridiculous; the screenplay is terrible. The camera of this cheap "found footage" genre is a pretext to produce low quality films with low cost. In this movie, there is no explanation for the use of the handy cam. Sometimes I question why I see flicks like this to the very end since time is irreversible and life is too short to spend watching low-quality films (like this one)! My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): "A Forca" ("The Gallows")

Starts Off Horrible but Quickly Picks Up

[Michael_Elliott · 7 May 2016]

The Gallows (2015)

*** (out of 4)

During a school production of The Gallows, a prop goes horribly wrong and an actor is killed. Flash forward twenty years and the school is putting the play on again. The night before the show the lead actor and his two friends break into the school to damage the property when they bump into the lead actress. Soon the four are trying to find a way out but realize that they're not alone.

THE GALLOWS is a rather strange movie because I started off hating the picture with a passion. I really do mean that I hated this film because I thought the first twenty or so minutes were incredibly annoying. I thought everything about the "found footage" film was annoying and especially the character holding the camera most of the time. For the life of me I couldn't help but wish something would happen to him because he annoyed me to the point where I wasn't enjoying the movie.

As I said, the first twenty minutes are pretty bad but once the horror elements start and once the characters get locked into the school things really pick up. I really love found footage movies when they're done right and I think THE GALLOWS is extremely well-made and well-acted. As with the best films in the genre, what makes them work is how the camera just floats around and you're mind prepares you for something scary to happen but you just never know when it's going to happen and this just builds up more suspense.

For my money there were plenty of very creepy scenes throughout the picture. This here is certainly the most important part but I'm not going to provide any spoilers so I won't go into any details about what exactly happens. I will say that the look of the killer was very creepy and it certainly helped keep you on guard throughout the ending. I also thought the four actors were extremely believable and good in their roles.

As I said, I really hated the first portion of this film but a film like THE GALLOWS is made to scare you and I must admit that the film got the best of me and in the end I had fun with it.

Made me mad how awful this film was

[ldavison530 · 1/10 · 17 July 2015]

Haven't watched a horror film in a long time & decided to go check this one out. I almost left after 45 minutes but decided to stick out , since I paid for the ticket. Huge mistake, this movie wasn't even remotely scary at all or suspenseful. Camera work was annoying & distracting. Highly do not recommend if you're older than 15. Characters were not likable at all, so you really didn't care when on of them died. The "scary parts" were predictable and very juvenile, mainly included sudden loud noises or a person appearing out of nowhere. Very lazy script in my opinion, not much originality. I honestly don't understand how a movie like this could ever make it to the big screen, if this is the future of horror movies , then I just watched my last one.

Good very jumpy make sure you have volume turned up

[stychy · 8/10 · 23 March 2019]

Obviously is not going to win any academy Awards but I watch a lot of horror movies and I want to be scared and made Jump turn your 5.1 surround sound on and sit there with the volume up high I guarantee you will s*** yourself one of the best jumpiest horror movies and I watch a lot

High school confidential

[drownsoda90 · 6/10 · 13 July 2015]

"The Gallows" documents a conniving high school student who convinces his jock friend — a bad actor starring in the school play— to trash the set before opening night in order to sabotage the production; along for the ride is his girlfriend. Things get progressively messy when they are interrupted by the play's female lead who comes to investigate, and they find themselves locked inside the school with the vengeful ghost of a student who died onstage in the same play twenty years before.

Where do I even start? As everyone knows, this is a "found footage" movie, widely abhorred and widely berated by hardcore genre fans and casual moviegoers alike. Make no mistake, "The Gallows" brings zero to the table in terms of innovation in regard to the sub-genre— but honestly, what more innovation could be had? "The Blair Witch Project" essentially set the standard over fifteen years ago, and more or less, every post-millennial found footage horror attempt is toiling in its wake. We know this. Critics know it. And yet, these films are still trending nearly two decades later.

Why? Well, because some of them do work the formula well, even if it's absolutely silly. "The Gallows" is one of these. The actors do senseless things, the camera is always inexplicably rolling, and yet we're still watching, either shaking our heads or enjoying the ride. Technical presentation aside, what I think I found appealing about the film was its use of setting— an old high school after dark. A motif that goes back to the 1980s, we have a bunch of teenagers running amok inside a high school (which by virtue is spooky at night), tormented by an attacker— here, it's a supernatural one. The film is traditional in that sense, and almost plays out like a supernatural slasher flick, and the noose and stage plot devices are definitely different from the norm.

The typical use of shadows, noises, and bumps galore are utilized to their full extent here, and were even able to get a couple of jolts out of my jaded genre lover's body. A particularly stunning sequence bathed in red light, which appears on the film's poster and as the staple of its advertising campaign, was one of the most craftily-orchestrated scenes I've seen in a horror film this year. The acting is overall pretty good, especially for a cast of young unknowns. Amateurish at times, but overall very serviceable, particularly the two female leads. The ending of the film is admittedly absurd and follows the found footage formula to a T— for that I do have to knock it a bit. This could have ended with a bit less fluff and been all the better for it.

Overall, "The Gallows" is an enjoyable flick. It is not innovative or refreshing in the slightest, but it plays up its best qualities for maximum effect, and it's engaging and at times surprisingly thrilling in spite of filling its found footage shoes. There are some throwback elements as well that recall slasher traditions of the eighties, which may be a major reason that I inexplicably enjoyed the film no matter how silly it was or became. A fun, contrived ninety minutes. 6/10.

Tedious and poorly made found footage movie

[mveal · 1/10 · 23 July 2015]

The teaser trailer for this film was great and I was looking forward to what looked like a savage and rather nasty horror film.

Sadly I found The Gallows to be utterly tragic in every way. The film is another entry in the overcrowded found footage genre and the story's cameraman was obnoxious and idiotic right from the start.

All the characters here are paper-thin and clichéd, they make stupid decisions to put themselves needlessly in peril.

But generally there isn't much peril, or danger, or scares. Distractingly amateurish, The Gallows looked as if it was shot for fifty quid in a spare weekend.

It's very annoying to pay a lot of money to see a film as awful as this in the cinema, because it's not even worth a rental.

Avoid paying to see the full film and just watch the trailer for free, that way you won't feel robbed.

TWO People Directed This?

[iamwillsmith · 1/10 · 18 July 2015]

Going into this movie and seeing reviews, I expected nothing and was still disappointed.

Everything was wrong with this movie. Poor plot, very slow start, disappointing scares, unlikeable characters (the cameraman may be one of the worst written characters I've seen in a movie), mediocre shots, and poor writing. If you name it, there's probably something wrong with it.

The ending was by far the worst part, with a nonsensical twist that leaves the viewer with more questions than answers.

It was bad, really really bad, and the only redeeming quality was that it ended at a merciful 82 minutes. Don't see it. Just don't.

Awful film to a point of anger do not watch

[jamamaes · 2/10 · 22 July 2015]

I have never been so angry leaving a cinema, I really disliked this film I have seen the same plot a million times and found footage has had its day in my opinion. The actors were terrible, there was so many plot holes after the ending. I was spending most of the time in the film saying to myself what will happen next and 90% of the time I got it right, such a clichéd film. Some of the acting was laughable to a point where I burst out laughing in the cinema. I was also surprised that the cinema was fairly packed I thought I as the only idiot to go see this film.

I see films like this making over $18 million on a $100 thousand pound budget and then more and more of the same film comes out. I understand me watching it is feeding these films being made but nothing unique is coming out in the horror genre.

Spend your time and money on other films, like 'It Follows' which came out this year a way better psychological horror or even Insidious 3 where they have much better intense moments. I would give it a 3/10 only because I admire that they tricked so many people to think it would be a good film by the trailer.

Watch teaser Trailer and your done with the movie

[atinder · 2/10 · 9 August 2015]

The found footage genre is really odd one.

I seen to number of them , I liked a lot of them but I hated few of them else And there are some feel are OK.

If we the gallows falls in the hated pile, when I first saw the teaser Trailer at insidious 3, I thought it looked and sound really good . But sadly that was not the case.

The doing play on stage but some goes wrong when is accidentally hung on stage.

The the movies onto modem time and people getting ready for the same play

But the football player who is really bad actor on stage (and off stage as well)

They break into school at night and trash stage, then when movie Start to up, with the door that never locks , is locked!

What this movie is missing is that that there was no atmosphere at all , I didn't find anything creepy or scary at all.

Even the jump scene didn't work and I saw them coming a mile away.

I didn't like how the movie ended , it was predicable

I going to give this 2 out of 10

Give it a chance if you like found footage horror

[smoke0 · 30 October 2018]

I love found footage horror when it's done well, and there's a lot to choose from, and a lot of it sucks. So when I see one that doesn't have me cringing and eye-rolling from start to finish, I give it a break.

The Gallows moves along quickly, the storyline mostly makes sense and is engaging enough, the characters are identifiable, typical and even likable, and the ending was somewhat original and unexpected, so to me, this is worth a viewing.

The majority of bad reviews seem to be from people who already hate found footage, so it's hard to give those reviews any credence. But if you are like me and enjoy found footage horror, and understand going in that most of those films are pretty bad, then this film is for you.

Better Than Most Found Footage Movies

[WillWatchForFood · 6/10 · 16 September 2019]

I appreciate the original concept in that high school students are stalked by a ghost when they break into their high school.

This is a nice change from the supernatural movies that are mostly about possession, which this not.

The acting was natural enough and didn't seemed forced which apparently is hard to achieve in found footage movies for some reason.

Worth an at home viewing.

Great Clean Horror Film

[honestmoviereviews-58487 · 10/10 · 10 July 2015]

I was concerned about going to an R rated horror film, but was pleasantly surprised that there was no nudity, F words or blood and gore. It was nice to be on the edge of my seat and to be completely scared throughout the movie. I was surprised by some of the negative reviews because this movie was great entertainment and definitely worth seeing on the big screen.

Some of the reviewers say that the movie has a slow start. Perhaps some of these people have a short attention span, because the group of friends that I watched the movie with, felt that it was just telling the story in the beginning and then the suspense begins about 30 minutes in. We were on the edge of our seats and the ending was awesome!!

Not That Bad! Actually really enjoyed it!

[nucci-90402 · 7/10 · 10 July 2015]

OK I had to write a review for this, because this is getting horrible reviews and scores everywhere. I almost didn't go see it in theaters because of that and am very glad i took a chance and did! It was definitely one of the better found footage films to come out lately. It is mostly jump scares but they are done well and got me almost every time. The acting isn't great but its not too bad either. Iv'e seen much worse in horror movies. And for the ending that everyone's complaining about, it was a pleasant surprise to see it end the way it did. I was expecting much worse. People need to lighten up and take movies for what they are. No its not the scariest movie in the world but it was decent and i'm glad i went to see it as a horror fan. If your a fan of found footage horror films then go see it. If not then see something else.

Predictable...

[Thanos_Alfie · 3/10 · 5 February 2016]

"The Gallows" is a horror movie in which we watch a group of friends trying to destroy the scene of a play. But due to a horrific accident that happened 20 years before in the same school and of course the same play something change their plans.

I have to admit that I did not expect something extraordinary from this movie but I was expecting to watch something different. Unfortunately such a thing did not happen. For a horror movie the plot was not something new or something that I have not seen before so, I was already prepared of what will come next. The ending of the movie was not also the best since it was already prepared from before and you knew which will be.

"The Gallows" tries hard to be a good movie but with low budget, poor cast it takes the ratings and the reviews which has to. I do not encourage anyone of watching this movie because I am sure that you will lose your time. In addition to this "The Gallows" is a good example that shows us what happens when there is a combination of low budget movie and a poor cast.

The Gallows (4/10)

[skybrick736 · 4/10 · 15 December 2015]

As one of the most marketed horror films of 2015, The Gallows was strictly made to pick up money from teen audiences. The story revolves around a drama class at high school and drama between characters. The story is set up terribly making no sense at times and the characters were unlikable and had terrible dialogue. The writing was awful from the start. Besides the found footage technique which wasn't really needed, there is an element of originality with some of the concepts so I'll give it points for that. However, the film crashed for good once the ending rolled along, it was just terrible. Skip The Gallows unless you're looking for a movie with lots of jump scares or something to laugh at with your friends at the films absurdity.

The Yawns

[kosmasp · 4/10 · 2 February 2016]

This being a horror movie, you just know at the beginning that something will happen. It just has to. So no surprise there. One of the twists may not be as expected, but is at least superficial, not to say complete and utter nonsense. Having said that, we also get what many horror movies have: the bad idea/plan, that never, ever makes the viewer having any sympathy.

In this case it makes even less sense, for the main character to go along with it (as the story unfolds and things and other characters pop up). It does have a few decent effects and some of the jump scares might get to you. It would be a complete failure if they didn't now wouldn't it? Also the ending is kind of nice, though the whole "Found footage" thing really is boring - though the guy who found it, did a good job editing it ...

The Gallows Review

[Spideyfan-963-246215 · 1/10 · 12 November 2016]

The Gallows(2015) Starring: Cassidy Gifford, Ryan Shoos, Pfeifer Brown, Reese Mishler, Price T. Morgan, Mackie Burt, Travis Cluff, Melissa Bratton, Theo Burkhardt, and David Herrera Directed By: Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing Review EVERY SCHOOL HAS ITS SPIRIT Hello Kiddies your pal the crypt-critic has found some frighting footage. More like screwed up by then end if you've seen the film. I remember when this film first came out and I saw the TV Spots for it during the summer I was like wow this actually looks pretty good. Much too my dismay after you've seen one lame found footage movie you've seen them all. 20 years after a tragic accident at a school play called The Gallows, the students are getting ready to perform it again. Ryan is recording everything going on with his friend Reese and girlfriend Cassidy, The three of them go that night to wreck the equipment and meet up with Pfeifer who Reese has a crush on. The films tactic of static buzzing that you get in these found footage films which after one too man times is no longer scary and just becomes an exercise in seeing how much can we make you jump. None in my case, I didn't feel uneasy, scared or any sense of terror. These kids are obviously not actors because they are awful, no commitment, no gravitas no nothing. Just screaming, acting like annoying little dunderheads and stupid decisions. The Gallows has no sense of purpose or fright that it just ends up looking like a spoof in which nobody cared, nobody saw and if you did see it, you probably forgot about it. I'm giving The Gallows a one out of five.

Plunges the found footage horror genre headfirst into new lows

[eddie_baggins · 1/10 · 21 April 2016]

For years mankind has wondered about the possibility of there being someone/something out there in the great expands of the universe. Another intelligent life-force that may one day visit our lowly shores to learn about us curious beings and hopefully not blast us away with advanced technology or decide to take us away for some good old fashioned experimentation. If indeed one day we find ourselves in communication with a great race equal to our technological advancements let us all hope that these visitors do not find a copy of found footage horror film The Gallows, as their judgements upon mankind may be non-recoverable.

A film so daft and downright dumb it's hard to fathom how it came into existence in the first place, The Gallows as directed by duo Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing (seriously it took two people to make this turkey!) is the type of film where you can feel your brain cells disappearing with each passing minute as annoying characters make unintelligible decision upon unintelligible decision and seemingly solvable solutions are ignored in the sake of more shakily handled "scares".

A new low in the past it's use by date genre of found footage horrors, The Gallows plunges to previously unseen depths of narrative drivel to tell the story of painfully badly acted teenage brats breaking into their seemingly medievally secured school to wreck the set to an upcoming play only to be haunted by an ominous fiend who locks them in the school facility (really there's not a single window that could be smashed to break out of?) to wreck all manner of nasties on them.

Watch on in disbelief as these unlikeable creations knock pot plants down, "dismantle" sets by taking a piece of wood out of a stage setting and generally fail at their objective only to be bettered or worsened by the fact that their school break in just happens to be in a school that seemingly has forgone any type of security, whether it be guards, cameras, motion detectors or even the locking of a door that would take 1 minute to fix, this school does not care who wonders its grounds come closing time! It's almost as if The Gallows creators Cluff and Lofing decided they were onto narrative gold or perhaps just an easy paycheck and set forth on making their film no matter if anything actually made sense or if logic was totally bypassed, it's almost akin to a home movie production, just far less funny or enjoyable.

The Gallows is neither scary or original and nothing about the film feels even remotely believable, even in a genre that's not supposed to be clothed in reality.

Taking place around some seriously lax logic and scenarios, The Gallows gets its rating purely based around the fact it's something that needs to be seen to be believed as for those that thought modern day horrors and found footage films had reached their lowest ebbs, The Gallows is here to show us all that the bar has been set even lower.

In other words, all copies of this film should be locked away or simply destroyed quick smart…… before the intergalactic visitors arrive!

The people who need to be on the end of a rope are the reviewers

[funkyj-84191 · 10/10 · 11 April 2018]

I remeber when I first saw the trailer for this movie, and it scared the hell out of me. When it came out on iTunes (the most convenient place for me to watch it), I immediately rented it without reading the reviews. I loved it. I consider myself a horror movie buff. I'm so desensitized to horror movies that I fell asleep during The Exorcist. However it took me hours to fall asleep after The Gallows. The "villain" was depraved, yet relatable, the scares happened when you least expect them to, and the setting was perfect. The next day, I went to IMDB to review it, and was horrified to see the reviews. People have trashed this movie for no reason. Maybe they just don't come in contact with modern high school students, because the actors pulled off their roles marvelously.

to each their own

[freetobemeeva · 7/10 · 11 July 2015]

so i wrote this when the movie first came out and I wasn't sure why a lot of reviews were so poor. But then I recently watched "It Follows", looked up the reviews and am editing this because now I get it. "It Follows" reviews are saturated with what essentially are rough drafts from a film class paper. There was a lot of talk of theme and motif, and praise of the ambiguous ending because apparently it resulted in cinematic freshness and sophistication (yes i'm generalizing). I on the other hand, was irritated by the characters and the ending. None of our opinions are wrong, we are just two different audience groups. Reviews should definitely be honest, but you should be clear of who's writing it and who you're writing it for. (The beauty of everyone having different minds :) )

So, if that's the lens you're going to view this movie with, then yeah, it probably won't be your cup of tea. But if you want to be entertained by something, I think this movie succeeded. Honestly I was initially drawn to the movie only by the creepy smells like teen spirit cover, but it's a decision i'm glad i made. Found footage movies usually turn me off with all the shaking, but it was very minimal in this movie which made it that much more enjoyable. The cast was a bunch of fresh faces and I rather enjoyed the longer exposition in the beginning, because it sets you up for a whirlwind at the edge of your seat for the rest of the movie. It did have the tired douchey character in it but he is not overwhelming. And then there's a twist at the end that you probably won't see coming until it's already hit you. There are clues, but you don't really pay them any mind until it's too late.

Definitely worth a watch even if just to say you think I was wrong :)

Movie should Have Hanged To DVD AND BLU RAY

[nikola17 · 1/10 · 11 August 2015]

*** review contains spoilers***

worst movies of (2015) well the first time when i saw the trailer it looked so scary dark and red intense Most of the time we're treated to feet treading floors, epileptic hand-held cameras prowling creepy passages, and dramatic lapses when the characters avert the cameras from the action. Unfortunately, sound of horror movie and also i like the ideas of movie but then when it turned out to be one of worst movies i have ever seen no likable characters let me tell everyone i am done with found footage movies they even don't go for long as 81 minutes long it was little longer then Unfriended but unless it was better movie then this. and no likable characters in movie, completely one of idiots in movie acting is very terrible very terrible they

needed to go drama school more they were worst actors and characters in movie they could got someone else in but even the movie is boring half way i was bored completely i wasn't scared expect for when it was dark and felt same way it was scary Plot: 20 years after a horrific accident during a small town school play, students at the school resurrect the failed show in a misguided attempt to honor the anniversary where Charlie Grim is student who did the play then got hanged in stage then later on it still goes on 2013 then these stupid characters(Ryan shoos)Ryan was such pointless, idiot pointless character making himself number 1 idiot front of people at school and specially stage in movie even such a worse movie i have ever saw and he was with friends with Reese and Cassidy specially they find Pfeifer Ryan wanted trash the play down not respecting the place when someone died ? hello does this person has to be respected no wonder why these characters had no personalty bullying Reese to this especially his girlfriend got angry when he destroyed theater for noting she got very disappointed to Reese but Ryan made him to say yes to go with him at school and destroy the play ? thought he can get away i thought the doors were locked that was never locked, they could smashed windows or smash the doors down but somehow why don't they don't try to call cops with there IPHONE could of called cops try but they don't. Cassidy boyfriend to Ryan she doesn't have brain Reese said don't leave the door when Ryan was screaming like little girl. she keeps running out to yell help and door keeps locking like they can't get out smash it down find something before that scene when they said trash the school Cassi wanted to change her mind clean the stage and fixing stage said i am fixing the stage ? you go there for noting just go home her boyfriend got everyone killed especially Reese wasn't that bad but he still did wrong thing agrees Ryan for noting. and even the girl he liked girl and ruined the stage

killing i thought it was lame death scenes all the characters got hanged because it's called gallows they don't die different way lame every different horror kills them the different way but this just hanging, the title of gallows is lame name i liked the trailer all staff but movie was going to be titled stage fright witch has better name apart from using boring name the gallows witch sounds like boring name it's only 1 Gallow there's not many gallows title should of named the Gallow that's it. movie was going on since 2012 even Ryan making things a lot worse for all his friends got them in danger but i wish he's friends said no that's it got all his friends killed in movie the thing is all actors are so bad like i can't stand it i always think about leaving the theater this movie wasn't scary at all it was just worst story, i love idea of movie with darkness how scary it was i like found footage films but this killed it the all thing no point of making it :/ some of scenes are very scary and dark i like idea of movie with scary is haunted and all that but this with gallows and another crap was like what ? but the trailer didn't had same scenes in movie i can't remember witch ones but then some how movie didn't do much there's not much too say i am glad this movie got 4.5 very short story line like grade 3 kid had written this movie, movie needs to be more to be scary, more of running around the all school surviving but ending killed it there's not much to write about all plot it mean to watch movie goes for 91 minutes no need for to write plot for this review. gallows needed to be 2.1 least and even this movie should have went to DVD the movie budget think's it is made more then Paranormal Activity ? least Paranormal Activity is $28.015 million and Unfriended 1 million still didn't noting like gallows got $100,000 from what did they got budget from toilet ? boy i would have done better movie then this better characters , better plot, much scary then this ? 1.10 one of worst movies in 2015 worst acting ever and ending killed it with cops i rather watch cops or end of watch.
