Close to a year later, Modern Defense Enterprises has sent a team of experts to document and investigate the mysterious occurrences, which only escalate upon their arrival. Tensions rise as the team must decide how far they will go to unlock the mysteries of “Skinwalker Ranch.” The group debates whether the answers are worth risking their lives for, or if they should just call off the investigation and leave the ranch—that is, if leaving is actually an option…

In 2012, two students, Gary and Matt, set out on their graduate thesis to prove one thing: paranormal existence is simply a figment of ones imagination. To conduct their experiment, they sent six volunteers as subjects into a notoriously haunted house in the West Bottoms area of Kansas City and recorded their every move. They hypothesized that if subjects knew the house’s history of unexplained deaths and the frequent paranormal sightings, the subjects would begin to experience “ghostly encounters.” After what started out to be a flawless experiment, things quickly started to get out of control.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

Yeah this is a awful movie. The worst horror movie ever been made since Prom Night (2008). This so not scary including terrible acting and awful story line. This is another film I watch that I watch that I forgot to review until I watch a video about Blum House that'll mess up a horror movie sometimes. I'll break that disc if I own it and I'll never will EVER!!! Don't watch this over hype garbage just watch better horror movies like Friday The 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween, Hellrasier, Saw, and etc. Blum House deserve to stop making horror movies.

The Gallows is a found footage horror movie, released in 2015. From directors Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing, this is a school based found footage movie, focusing on the brutal accident of previous student, Charlie Grimille. Twenty years after a school production of "The Gallows" leads to the death of Charlie Grimille after a props malfunction, the high school drama club decides to remake the stage production to honour the anniversary of the tragedy. However, they soon find that some things are much, much better left alone. I admit, this movie started off extremely slowly. I wasn't that interested in what was happening, other than the very first scene that showed the accident with Charlie, but as with most found footage horror movies, I had to see it through. The beginning of most found footage horror movies are incredibly slow, something that I really wish had not become a trope of the genre, and this is definitely no different. I was very tempted to turn it off. It took around half an hour, forty minutes for this to finally kick in, and when it did, oh boy.I'm not weak to horror. I can gladly sit and watch what are considered the scariest horror movies, and come out of them bored and not scared at all but this movie, damn. The Gallows is an expert at building up the atmosphere, and making the goosebumps appear on your skin. It's absolutely brilliant at bringing up a situation that you know is going to happen, you know this one moment is going to happen, but when it does happen – you're creeped out and a little scared. The atmospheric build up is absolutely spectacular, and I don't think a found footage horror movie has ever made me feel so uneasy before – especially with the numerous night vision scenes. Of course, the plot is pretty basic; four teenagers trapped in their school, and a dead student is haunting them and killing them off one by one. It's not a terribly original entry into the found footage genre, but the acting is what really sets this apart from the others, in my opinion. I find in a lot of found footage horror movies, the actors don't seem to always put on a good show, they seem to be lacking. Maybe they know it's a bit of bad movie and they just don't really care, but in The Gallows, all four of the main actors did a brilliant job. You could feel their fear, you could connect in with their emotions, and really understand where they were coming from. Especially with actor Reese Mishler, who played the lead male, Reese Houser. There were pure moments with him where I was so scared I couldn't look away from the screen, I could not move, purely from him acting as scared as he was.This got a lot of bad criticism for a movie, and I'm beginning to feel this is more of a distaste for the found footage genre more than anything, and I think this movie definitely deserves a watch. It was atmospheric, it was scary, things were clear, and it wasn't just another ghost on a rampage. Not original in it's entry, but rather original within it's plot as a movie, and I would definitely give this another watch. This is one of those rare gems of the found footage genre, and I'm definitely glad that I gave this a chance.

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.
