Watch The Gallows For Free

Fresh and Exciting

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It is my personal opinion that I did not find the film any good. There's nothing new in it. Even those who haven't seen many films could name a couple of similar films. The best ones. The worst part was, in horror films, ten guys go in and only one comes out. Sometimes none. The found-footage presentation was okay for such concept. The film was short and one day event based. Most of the story was on the night in an auditorium. The initial part had fair space to kick-start the tale with a simple intro. And then the following event did not stay up to the buildup.The basic storyline itself was very weak. The characters, and their behaviours, all easily gives out the upcoming scenes. So predictable, even the twist was ordinary. The way it ended was worse than ordinary. I felt the final scene with the cops was totally unnecessary. There's nothing wrong with the actors. Even filmmaking was acceptable. But I don't know how the production company okayed the screenplay. One of the low cost film, but earned better. Despite not received well by all the quarters. I would always encourage such small films, but I can't suggest it.2/10

Now before I go on about this, I do enjoy most of the Paranormal Activity series. The 4th and 6th one were kinda meh, in my opinion but I've always loved the style. I've also seen Area 51 directed by the same guy who made those, and I was pleased to see this was too. For me, this absolutely blew Paranormal Activity out of the park. Yes it has cliché moments, but not as predictable as those movies. If you love found footage movies, especially with twist endings, I 100% recommend this movie. Not gonna give it 10 out of 10 cause of course this is a recurring style genre which MANY get bored of but I eat it up. Loved it, would watch it again. Would recommend especially with a friend.

Here is another low budget horror film trying to scare the audience, alas, once again without success.The "found-footage" horror genre has been spreading again lately, but oh boy does it suck. In year 1980, when Italian director Ruggero Deodato filmed the groundbreaking, underrated found-footage original horror, 'Cannibal Holocaust', the subgenre was a success. Following this turning point we have had some good movies inspired by the original masterpiece, such as 'Blair Witch Project", "Rec." and the overused "Paranormal Activity"."The Gallows" has nothing to add to the subgenre. The plot is boring and predictable with stupid plot twist. When reaching the climax, the movie throws everything it has built into a thrash can with a very lame ending, possibly the lamest horror ending I've ever seen.All in all, the movie is very forgettable and you will not miss anything worth spending time on.

When I go to review a film I look to look at the reviewers who loved and hated the film to see if I have missed something when I particularly disliked a film. I was surprised to read the following about The Gallows,"This is without a doubt, quite literally, the scariest movie I have ever seen! The Poltergeist remake scared me, but this terrified me. I still have a pit in my stomach, and my heart is still thumping as I type this." this poster must go through life in perpetual fear and basic household objects must send them into spasms of terror, looking at the other reviews the are children cartoons so that might explain it."I won't give away the end, but know that it is one of the greatest twist endings I have ever seen! Bravo!""Had no idea of what kind of terror it offered"I am sorry but these must be contrived reviews, this is truly an awful, lazy film. Found footage has been flogged to death and then flogged again. This has a ridiculously contrived story line and most of the action you see is in semi or permanent darkness with the occasionally shouted "awesom" or "dude" for dialogue, it is shot in the headacre inducing hand held camera. There was nothing in the film to give me the slightest scare, the characters are flimsy and you just want the ghoul to kill them and end this pathetic film. You can tell how lazy the film is as they use the actors real first name and maybe I should give it 2 as they unintentionally introduced humour when one of the actors repeatedly gets another characters name wrong, this takes some doing as they are using their real names. Not scary, nothing, avoid.
