The Gallows (2015)

Perfect for Found footage fans. I seen it on tv late night. I didn't suspect that it was horror movie. I started watching it. I was entertained. Its not bad

This film is terrible. The actors are so bad. Everything is so stupid. It's not scary only really stupid. How can anyone think this is a good idea? It is a bit funny to watch how bad everything isDon't waste your timeI have to make this review longer for some reason It's stupid because there is not more to say about this terrible movie

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.
