The Gallows

Caution: This Might contain spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

20 years, there was a school accident during the stage production of The Gallows. Now, to honor the anniversary of the tragedy the school has decided to produce it again. Three friends break into the school theater at night, and quickly realize that something is amiss.

This dilm was written and directed by Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing. This is another found footage film with a ghost monster. In many ways, it feels too much like its trying to set-up for a sequel. The plot remains very simple and predictable. The only thing new this film has to offer is that there was limited use of computer animation, and the actors performing their own stunt work. There are a few jump scares, but nothing really creepy or violent. The monster wasn't very frightening, and felt too inorganic. The very non-dimensional characters didn't help either. Reese Mishler played the role of Reese Houser. There wasn't much to make his character stand out. Pfeifer Brown played the role of Pfeifer Ross. She was easily forgotten. Ryan Shoos played the role of Ryan Shoos. His character begins as the most irritating idiot, and ends on the same note. Cassidy Gifford played the role of Cassidy Spilker. She felt like one of the most useless characters in the film. 

I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! It is another found footage ghost film that fails to deliver any real scares.

This film can be seen on DVD.
