The Gallows

About This Movie

So, The Gallows is this low-budget horror that really plays with the whole found footage vibe, but it’s not quite that straightforward. You’ve got this oppressive atmosphere built around a high school that’s haunted by its past, which lends it a gritty, almost claustrophobic feel. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, with moments feeling stretched, but it kind of works in building tension. The practical effects are minimal, but they hit the mark when they need to. Performances from the young cast range from passable to decent, giving you that raw, real-world vibe. It’s interesting how it explores themes of guilt and resurrection, but you can’t help but feel it’s a bit of a gamble trying to resurrect a tragedy. It’s got its charm, though.
