hmm? OK.
10 July 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I honestly don't know how I think of this film. Not too bad but not too good either.

The Gallows overall i say is a horror movie for people who are getting into the horror genre. I wasn't too impressed with the film considering it did have useless jumpscares (the ending was so bland & typical) but at parts of the movie it did add a creepy atmosphere.

If you're a die hard horror movie lover than you might not be too satisfied with this film. It had the pace of ouija. One moment their in school then then 2 seconds later Charlie is attacking them.

Overall "ehh" film I feel like it could've been better even with its found footage genre. If this film was thought out through more thoroughly it could've been a movie to remember to the audience but of course typical jumps cares.

One thing I gotta say is Reece's jawline could seriously cut glass, seriously.
