1. Much respect to you. Janitors do a lot and no one ever brings it up. 2. Dare you to say "Charlie" in the auditorium lol. 3. Actually no, it's best to have a good mindset in the dark.
american horror movie logic: has a vengeful spirit that gets revenge on mostly innocent people... is somehow unaturally undead asshole cause "reasons" and is just an overall dbag...
To be entirely honest I really enjoy it when you do the movies that are super bad which I wouldn’t want to watch anyway. It’s nice to be able to get the general gist of what happens without having to sit through the whole movie. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
The biggest problem with this movie is. Why would a High School play have a fully functional gallows in a stage play? Like why does it have to have to actually work? I imagine in real life it would just be some wooden stage designed to look like a gallows and the "hanging" would just be represented by a sound effect and flash of light.
I mean, the biggest problem is the base story doesn't make sense. The rest of the stuff is just side problems. He's right, why isn't the data more involved in the film, and why wasn't the plot twist better set up. It's the same stupid "Hey why are you here too, oh wait you're the bad guy but act good" trope.
As someone who was a theatre technician back in high school, I can say with certainty that if one of the actors busted in the night before the performance and wrecked everything that the crew would absolutely become the villains of that horror movie.
it could've worked if they changed like 3 things: 1. Make Reese's dad actually responsible for the death of Charlie like idk having him sabotage the stage so the revenge thing make sense 2. Make Reese's parents dead so the vengeful spirit would have no other choice but to seek revenge on the only living member of that family 3.Fix the timeline so Charlie could've had his girlfriend pregnant and Pfeifer could really be his daughter Could've been a decent movie 😔
Matto Matt 4. Reese’s dad & friends your typical jocks making fun of Charlie for being a Theater nerd. Until Reese’s dad ditching the play to sabotage Charlie but in a embarrassing way but not meaning to kill him. Then years later finally getting revenge.
Also maybe giving a actual reason for the douchebag to video everything, idk, something about extra credit work, cause he's failing a grade. Since he's a typical jock, maybe it would work.
Have Reese's dad be responsible for the malfunction AND have Reese be responsible for his own death by causing a new malfunction that occurs due to him being prevented from dismantling the set part way through.
@@187mrsmith take the Spiderman movies for example. Peter Parker is supposed to be a 15 year old, but Toby Maguire was 28 at the time, Andrew Garfield was in his mid 30's, and Tom Holland looks like he's pushing 27. And even worse is that the other kids in the school scenes (except for MCU Spiderman) look like they're middle aged people. Flash from Sam Raimi's Spiderman looks like he's 40. And one of the school teachers looks more like a student.
Alright, seriously though. WHY DID THE SPIRIT KILL THE JANITOR? HE'S NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY INVOLVED. And also, the spirit is getting revenge for someone being sick. Really? Why not... The guy who made the prop. Not the guy who got sick.
I know, but again, it's not like he knew the danger and CHOSE not to go. It's the fault of the guy who made the prop. The ghost is literally just an idiot.
The only way I can think of as to why Charlie would hold a grudge against Reese's dad is if Reese's dad sabotaged the prop and pressured Charlie into taking his place while faking getting sick.
That ending with the cops. Lol so does that mean the ghost is going to wipe out the entire police force? Cause they’re definitely going to send more cops, wonder what happens when the military gets involved...
As much as I don't understand this spirit's reason for wanting revenge, I mean, the guy simply got a cold and did not plan the death or was a jerk to him in the first place, I can understand the part where he decides to kill his son. Imagine this, fathers love their children, and to learn that the boy you raise since he was a baby was killed, would honestly be a worse fate then death... Still though, the spirit's motive for doing so is just complete BS.
Right, but *how* did he possibly plan to kill his son? Like what if the dude never even had kids? Charlie would just wait around in that theater for a kid that would never show up? Or what if the dude's son went to a totally different high school?
he wasn’t rlly sick he lied abt being sick so he could play football so while he didn’t intend or think sum like tht would’ve happened he did lie to get out the play
Um, that gallows didn't look like it had nearly enough of a drop to cause internal decapitation. It would do some damage to be sure, but would be really unlikely to kill anyone if prompt medical attention was given.
XD Yeah but lol no one rushed onto the stage to help, not even the other students lol.... I never saw the movie and don't plan to xP Thank god for Foundflix saving people hours of bad movies.
Robert Szasz I haven'y seen the movie but if the hangman's knot is done right or well wrong depending on your perspective can snap your neck or outright tear your head off.
@@michaelkeha the knot has little to do with it. The energy that does the damage is generated by how far the person drops, and how much they weigh. Unless there is enough energy to seriously damage/destroy the spinal cord, death is caused by many minutes of asphyxiation. Various countries developed tables of weight vs drop distance required to ensure a fast death but not so far as to pop the person's head off.
Robert Szasz actually it does the knot is designed to snap your neck in as efficent a fashion as possible basically if placed correctly a single foot is enough room and force to wrench your neck apart and leave you a pale shade of dead as your head is forced up violently while your body is dropping downwards
@@michaelkeha not reliably unless the person is really, really, heavy. Sure, the knot and setup do matter, I oversimplified. But the primary factor is total energy and that is entirely dependant on fall distance and body weight.
I thought it was just a gag, so I IMDBd it, too. ALL the main actors used their actual name for their characters? Is this someone’s first year project?
100.000 is not a lot of money for a movie to reach to mainstream. Somehow they pulled it off with social media, I guess, even with the bad scriptwriting (they received 43 million for this shit). I don't know what it is but I guess it's some kid that tried to make a "cool" horror movie with his school.
Actually reese's dad faked being sick to get out of the play because he thought it was lame. He was doing it for extra credit because he needed better grades to stay on the football team. So by bailing on the play he's partly responsible for the death. So as far as why Charlie wants revenge that's the reason
In that case, this makes sense. That’s why we see Rees’s father arguing with Rees to quit the play and focus on football instead. Maybe he knew that Charlie's death related to his responsibility indirect way so that’s why he won’t his son to suffer the consequences?!
Bad reason: "why are you recording?" "For the play" Decent reason: "why are you recording?" "It's our last high school play! Why wouldn't I?" I dunno, just something better than what was given I guess.
It's weird, you would think the found footage style would be easy to do. Just film, without any post editing besides the points in which something supernatural happens. I feel like even the least experienced director should be able to do this
"Anyone could do this" is usually only said by people who have either a) absolutely no clue on how to do anything in that field or b) mastered all there is in that field and can't properly judge what a beginner would be able to do.
@@yaldabaoth2 that's fair, it just seems like found footage should be easier than any other form of film. Keep all the passion in film making, just with a very low budget. And I know when it comes to low budgets, you got to make some sacrifices, especially in actors. Although that's also not an excuse, just look at The Blair Witch Project, not the best acting but still believable.
Some people are just not very good at their job. The script for this movie is garbage. No actor could have saved it, I wouldn't blame them. There was no reason to shoot this as a found footage movie. That was just an excuse for being trashy. And that's why it has that reputation of "even the least experienced director" can do this. In a sense, yes, they can do that but that doesn't mean it's good. But name some great found footage movies, please. Most of them are shit because bad directors think anyone could it. To make a good film, you need a good director. Found footage or not.
I remember in my high school my fresh year in marching band we had someone recording all throughout band camp and different shows. At the end of the year they made a movie and gave to everyone. Something like that, might be why they are recording. They tried it again a year later, but in the senior prank, the door that would always be stuck open like in this movie to our band room was broken completely off after they tried to move a car inside the band room. Police got called and everyone was pissed.
Goes to the school to destroy/vandalize the sets so the play gets cancelled and my friend doesn’t look like an idiot but hey I have a great idea let’s film ourselves doing it cause you know it’s not a crime or anything so yeah it’ll be super fun! and won’t possibly back fire horribly.... Actually thinking about it that’s literally the only “teenage” thing these people do in this entire film
I love Ending Explained! I stopped watching horror movies ages ago because I kept having vivid nightmares afterward, even from the crappy ones. With this, it feels like I'm still watching it. Thanks!
I love your vids in general, but when you tear apart shitty movies, it makes my day even better! I'm glad I didn't watch this movie because it would have been such a waste of my time. I'm sorry you had to suffer through it, but we appreciate you!
It was more of the fact that they actually had jumpscare ads playing through out TH-cam where it baited you into thinking it was turning your computer volume down, pretty dick move but I haven't seen many people do that
Your channel is one of my favorite to have in the back ground(I mean that in the best way). Your like the Game Grumps for me where if I ever want something playing while I'm doing something you are calm enough that It's not overly distracting but still very entertaining. Love your channel.
Hvaddafuck4 it’s funnier when you realize it would legit take one scene to explain it, like the father faked the illness or that the father actually caused the accident (like he broke the trapdoor or something goofing off, it’s terrible but it at least gives some kind of explanation why).
Scott Yoshihara I really didn't care for the first one myself. It had such a nice concept, I just felt like the casting and the execution was a bit... Dull. Never saw the sequel.
He really should do an explanation video for the VHS trilogy. I think the whole tapes aspect is interesting where they watch the videos and are then compelled to make their own addition to the tapes and continuing the cycle. I feel like a explanation for them all would be great
Let's assume that Ghosts don't give a shit about Accidents. I can go with that. They still needed to have the Dad involved in the current. They did that, it fixes a lot of this. The Dad is the last, taking the noose. Camera dude dies. Blonde dies. Leaving Female Lead, Son and Dad. Dad offers himself, since it's him he's after. Spirit says okay. Dad goes to the Noose. Spirit kills his kid in front of him anyways... because Vengeful Spirit. Dad hangs, Girlfriend gets her show finished, Spirit gets his complete Revenge, Lead did her diabolical job. I mean, still issues... but those minor changes improve it.
Now I know how to tie the Dad in! He becomes the Schools Drama Coach, because he wants to better connect to his Son before the kid goes off to College! The kid is doing this for the Female Lead, the Dad is doing it for the Kid. He's against doing this Play, but it's what the Senior Class voted on (strings pulled by Female Lead). The Dad is there that night, because he's caught wind of what the 3 Kids are planning on doing and is there to confront him about it. (Maybe tipped off by the Female Lead.) That's it, guys and gals! I think we just made this a much better movie. Still not good, but better!
Ok how about this: What if the father, who was also embarrassed of doing the play, messed with the set the night before, and skipped the performance so that Charlie would be the one who ends up in the set, and ends up dead because of the father messing with the set. That’s how to fix this garbage movie.
i like the concept of a haunted play similar to the King in Yellow and the SCP the hanged kings tragedy. Its too bad this movie has so many faults, that could easily be fixed. I wish we could have seen what this movie was suppose to be or the original concept. Some ideas i have are changing the reason for the curse, since other comments detail how hanging is really done in real plays, and the reason for Charlie’s ghost haunting the school since he was killed from an accident. Like maybe the kid who called in sick lied, and knew that the prop would malfunction. Or Charlie was being bullied for being a theatre kid and the bullies causes the malfunction, so he haunts the school and gets pissed when they try destroying the play??? Do something like the King in Yellow and every time the play was performed an accident or tragedy always happend, but this time it gets even worse????? i dont know i still like this movie, haunted school found footage :3
@Hunter Cameron the mother basically brings the father of her child back to life and the child and mother both worship him or some shit to exact revenge on the children of the actors who were in the play
No lie, I skipped the first 30 min of this movie because I just could NOT stand the characters. I was rooting for the ghost the whole time so this movie would just end which I don't think that's what the director was going for lol .... It's just bad!
I just wanted to say that I am not really a fan of watching horror movies but I love the lore and stories. Your channel has allowed me to enjoy the horror movies I want to know about but don't watch and I appreciate your content.
Please do a video explaining the movie The Signal. It's a very good movie and I bet a lot of people would like to see a video about it. Cheers from Brazil
Haha. The History Buffs guy gave a similar video intro when he examined the historical accuracy of “Tora, Tora, Tora”. He was confused at the number of requests he gotten to do Michael Bay’s “Pearl Harbor” instead, not knowing why his subscribers would want him to suffer.
I never saw Black Swan, but from what I understand, the meaning behind it was how far performers are willing to go for their craft, and combining it with mental illness could be deadly...? Idk, because, again, I haven't actually seen it.
Y'all remember that true story about a high school doing Sweeny Todd, and the teacher gave them metal razors on opening night and like 3 kids got their throats cut? I wanna see THAT movie
I love that FoundFlix (sorry i don't know the guys name) can make AMAZING explanation videos over some TERRIBLE movies, such as The Gallows. Keep up the great work!!!
favorite found footage movie is a tie between the troll hunter [norwegin movie about college kids following what they believe ot be a poacher only to discover a lot more] and the tunnels [news station film crew go into the tunnels under sydney I think it is from wwII and do a segment only to come across something from aboriginal lore.]
I don't think they target adults with films like this I remember watching it I was like 11 and I didn't care for the story so much as that was scary and the quick jumps so I think it's a cash grab to younger people
I don’t understand why the ghost wants revenge but I think I understand the revenge he did. He killed Reese because his dad has to live with the pain of knowing that his son is dead.
Probably out of selfishness, Reese's dad would've died, not Charlie. But then again, what fault does his dad has? blame the school for using a real gallows for the play.
It would have been better if Reese's dad to have some hated towards Charlie for stealing the girl he loves, rigged the prop to break, than act like his sick. Then Charlie's girlfriend figures out that the prop was tampered with and tells the cops, but their think that she's only saying that cause she's heart broken and wanted to blame Charlie's death on someone.
Cybermat47 EXACTLY. Reese and his father had nothing to do with his death. If anything, kill the dumbasses who thought putting a FUCKING GALLOW in a school play was a good idea

It's weird, you would think the found footage style would be easy to do. Just film, without any post editing besides the points in which something supernatural happens. I feel like even the least experienced director should be able to do this
"Anyone could do this" is usually only said by people who have either a) absolutely no clue on how to do anything in that field or b) mastered all there is in that field and can't properly judge what a beginner would be able to do.
Anyone except cash hungry creeps*
Fixed that for ya.
@@yaldabaoth2 which we should note, is not what he said.
Least experienced director =/= anybody
@@yaldabaoth2 that's fair, it just seems like found footage should be easier than any other form of film. Keep all the passion in film making, just with a very low budget. And I know when it comes to low budgets, you got to make some sacrifices, especially in actors. Although that's also not an excuse, just look at The Blair Witch Project, not the best acting but still believable.
Some people are just not very good at their job. The script for this movie is garbage. No actor could have saved it, I wouldn't blame them. There was no reason to shoot this as a found footage movie. That was just an excuse for being trashy. And that's why it has that reputation of "even the least experienced director" can do this. In a sense, yes, they can do that but that doesn't mean it's good. But name some great found footage movies, please. Most of them are shit because bad directors think anyone could it. To make a good film, you need a good director. Found footage or not.
I remember in my high school my fresh year in marching band we had someone recording all throughout band camp and different shows. At the end of the year they made a movie and gave to everyone. Something like that, might be why they are recording. They tried it again a year later, but in the senior prank, the door that would always be stuck open like in this movie to our band room was broken completely off after they tried to move a car inside the band room. Police got called and everyone was pissed.
Goes to the school to destroy/vandalize the sets so the play gets cancelled and my friend doesn’t look like an idiot but hey I have a great idea let’s film ourselves doing it cause you know it’s not a crime or anything so yeah it’ll be super fun! and won’t possibly back fire horribly....
Actually thinking about it that’s literally the only “teenage” thing these people do in this entire film
The only thing that makes sense in this movie. The rest of the movie was just a bunch of shit, meaningless act.
I guess it left us hanging!
It took me a min
Boooooo. >:/

I love Ending Explained! I stopped watching horror movies ages ago because I kept having vivid nightmares afterward, even from the crappy ones. With this, it feels like I'm still watching it. Thanks!
I love your vids in general, but when you tear apart shitty movies, it makes my day even better! I'm glad I didn't watch this movie because it would have been such a waste of my time. I'm sorry you had to suffer through it, but we appreciate you!
honeylemondrops you got Instagram? 🤤
angel torres nigga
i don't like sand lmao ikr 😂
it was actually really scary not gonna lie
Can't wait to see you explain the Nun as well!
Apollite Im actually hyped for the nun, I can finally get spooked since the horror line up for the summer sucked.
@@Bentami Yeah same here, I dont find the Nun particularly scary or disturbing but they way they've presented the trailers... it looks really cool
@@Bentami I'm not:(
It was more of the fact that they actually had jumpscare ads playing through out TH-cam where it baited you into thinking it was turning your computer volume down, pretty dick move but I haven't seen many people do that
@@apollite2660 I pissed my self
Your channel is one of my favorite to have in the back ground(I mean that in the best way). Your like the Game Grumps for me where if I ever want something playing while I'm doing something you are calm enough that It's not overly distracting but still very entertaining. Love your channel.
How TF is it his dads fault that he got sick?
He should get revenge on Reese's dad's inability to get flu shots
Hvaddafuck4 it’s funnier when you realize it would legit take one scene to explain it, like the father faked the illness or that the father actually caused the accident (like he broke the trapdoor or something goofing off, it’s terrible but it at least gives some kind of explanation why).
Stalin Valdez I don’t know maybe he spit in his food which made him sick?
He didn’t get sick, he bailed out on the play
The writers were too lazy to come up with an actual good reason, so they pulled something stupidly bad out of their ass.
Cool video Found Flix can you do the Woman in Black and the sequel?
Scott Yoshihara I really didn't care for the first one myself. It had such a nice concept, I just felt like the casting and the execution was a bit... Dull. Never saw the sequel.
He really should do an explanation video for the VHS trilogy. I think the whole tapes aspect is interesting where they watch the videos and are then compelled to make their own addition to the tapes and continuing the cycle. I feel like a explanation for them all would be great
Check the actors’ names, though. Same names as their characters. Jeez.
Spookus
I know that was creepy it kinda made me think the story was real
kelvianna epperson or maybe the writers didn’t have any names for the characters 😳
@@-venicebltchsshitthatsheus4106 yeah but that rarely happens except on Disney channel. It had me thinking is it real or just a coincidence?
TV tropes would call this "The Danza"
I watched this with my brothers and we all agreed it was bland af
i did that with my sister and we had the same feeling you do
How bland?
@@graceg6651 probably how bland is it
“Why don’t they just do Oklahoma or something?”
LOL
The Hangman looks like Scarecrow from DC Comics.
Actually Yeah he does SCARECROW IS THE VILLIAN
Public Comment Someone call Batman!
Is it just me or does the hangman look like a cheap version of the Arkham Scarecrow
Casey Thurman thought i was the only one
Bro he really does look like him
@@chef-ln5fw almost...
No it really does 😂
@@0.o947 Scarecrow's face is a gas mask stitched to the face.
Dad: *gets cold*
Charlie: _So...you have chosen death..._
Let's assume that Ghosts don't give a shit about Accidents. I can go with that.
They still needed to have the Dad involved in the current. They did that, it fixes a lot of this.
The Dad is the last, taking the noose. Camera dude dies. Blonde dies. Leaving Female Lead, Son and Dad.
Dad offers himself, since it's him he's after. Spirit says okay. Dad goes to the Noose. Spirit kills his kid in front of him anyways... because Vengeful Spirit. Dad hangs, Girlfriend gets her show finished, Spirit gets his complete Revenge, Lead did her diabolical job.
I mean, still issues... but those minor changes improve it.
Actually sounds like a much better film already.
Now I know how to tie the Dad in! He becomes the Schools Drama Coach, because he wants to better connect to his Son before the kid goes off to College! The kid is doing this for the Female Lead, the Dad is doing it for the Kid.
He's against doing this Play, but it's what the Senior Class voted on (strings pulled by Female Lead).
The Dad is there that night, because he's caught wind of what the 3 Kids are planning on doing and is there to confront him about it. (Maybe tipped off by the Female Lead.)
That's it, guys and gals! I think we just made this a much better movie. Still not good, but better!
Ok how about this:
What if the father, who was also embarrassed of doing the play, messed with the set the night before, and skipped the performance so that Charlie would be the one who ends up in the set, and ends up dead because of the father messing with the set.
That’s how to fix this garbage movie.
@@mrmustache1125 Hm not bad. That would explain the ghost more. It doesn't want history to be repeated
The hangman lowkey has a cool costume tho
Yeah, it reminded me alot of scarecrow from batman.
when the movie sucks, but the costume is on fleek.
i like the concept of a haunted play similar to the King in Yellow and the SCP the hanged kings tragedy. Its too bad this movie has so many faults, that could easily be fixed. I wish we could have seen what this movie was suppose to be or the original concept. Some ideas i have are changing the reason for the curse, since other comments detail
how hanging is really done in real plays, and the reason for Charlie’s ghost haunting the school since he was killed from an accident.
Like maybe the kid who called in sick lied, and knew that the prop would malfunction. Or Charlie was being bullied for being a theatre kid and the bullies causes the malfunction, so he haunts the school and gets pissed when they try destroying the play???
Do something like the King in Yellow and every time the play was performed an accident or tragedy always happend, but this time it gets even worse????? i dont know
i still like this movie, haunted school found footage :3
I didn’t enjoy it. Grave encounters did it better imo
grave encounters was awesome AF compared to this shit
@Hunter Cameron the mother basically brings the father of her child back to life and the child and mother both worship him or some shit to exact revenge on the children of the actors who were in the play
I love grave encounters 2, the first one I didn't really enjoy that much.
That couldn't be a more different opinion on the Grave Encounters series lol
Where's the del Toro reviews?
Next movie: *_Barney's Great Adventure_*
Hell yeah
Fuck ye
????????
That was my movie I cant even lie
That would be scary af
No lie, I skipped the first 30 min of this movie because I just could NOT stand the characters. I was rooting for the ghost the whole time so this movie would just end which I don't think that's what the director was going for lol .... It's just bad!
Lol
I misread your comment and thought you said "video" and was like "wha? It's only 15 mins???"
I just wanted to say that I am not really a fan of watching horror movies but I love the lore and stories. Your channel has allowed me to enjoy the horror movies I want to know about but don't watch and I appreciate your content.
Same
PLEASE DO CHERNOBYL DIARIES!!!!!!!!!
TheRManProds YESSSSSS
One of my favorites, definitely underrated.
Owen B. Yeah
@M. Targino wHoA sO cOoL
TheRManProds YES BRO
I remember this movie was surrounded by the Charlie Charlie game. What a time to be alive
YES! I have been waiting for the Found Flix on The Gallows for so long!!!
Please do a video explaining the movie The Signal. It's a very good movie and I bet a lot of people would like to see a video about it. Cheers from Brazil
lesson learned: *don't get a cold*
this genuinely made me chuckle
Why tho? Getting a cold pretty much saved Reese's dad's life.
Why the heck would they use a real noose in a school play?
Tiaam Du Nord it’s a prop that malfunctioned
@@viscera9579 none the less it should of never been nothing under there should of been a wooden block under him.
@@johnritner7218 or has a fake noose around the neck but a real one around the waist to. They did that with Nights of the Demons 4.
@@CommanderZer yeah I agree
If it was a fake noose, why is it still made well enough to snap his neck?
Haha. The History Buffs guy gave a similar video intro when he examined the historical accuracy of “Tora, Tora, Tora”.
He was confused at the number of requests he gotten to do Michael Bay’s “Pearl Harbor” instead, not knowing why his subscribers would want him to suffer.
Kid: *Dies in a school play*

They did a good job, so lets give them a second chance. Im sure no events will happen
Happy Feet Ending Explained.
I agree
Cory in the house ending explained
Boku No Picu ending explained
Young King I got an ending for you it was is (awesome sauce) in sing song voice
Happy Feet is actually hella deep and kinda dark, when you watch it
Would love "The Nun" explained. Not the new one but the old spanish one from 2005.
That’d be good
yesss! one of the first horror movies i ever watched.
I can feel the mediocrity through the video just talking about the movie
YEAH WHY DIDN'T THE SPIRIT GO AFTER THE DAD OR TRY TO LURE THE DAD INTO THE SCHOOL, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!
TheRManProds *
THE GHOST SHOULD OF WENT AFTER HIS DAD!
YOU SHOULD TURN OFF CAPS LOCK
@@theinglorious8963 YOU SHOULD FUCK OFF AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!
TheRManProds calm down bro its okay😅 caps lock isn’t necessary for every sentence but u do you bro no
need for the toxicity
Would love for you to do an ending explained on Black Swan
Julia Cox that movie sucks.
Yes!
I never saw Black Swan, but from what I understand, the meaning behind it was how far performers are willing to go for their craft, and combining it with mental illness could be deadly...? Idk, because, again, I haven't actually seen it.
KillbotSw I dunno, I personally like how they took the phrase “Suffering for your craft” to a whole new level
"why didnt he punish the dad?" the only thing worse than killing a man is killing his son, that father is in way more hurt now then if he were dead
This is literally Grave Encounters with teens.
At least grave encounters had a good plot and intimidating villains
Scp 701
Yeah
@@loltheartwizard25 The Gallows was ACTUALLY better TBH.
And worse
Y'all remember that true story about a high school doing Sweeny Todd, and the teacher gave them metal razors on opening night and like 3 kids got their throats cut? I wanna see THAT movie
The.Salty.Sarlacc Wait What?! This Happened In Real Life Or In A Movie??
It happened in real life, but it was actually just two victims and both survived.
Don't know if there was a movie about it though.
Nope, just shit tons of news and censored videos.
What movie? It sounds interesting
I remember seeing an ad for this movie that terrified me when I was in like third or second grade
I love Found Footage movies lol I'm sorry its just a guilty pleasure of mine :)
SAME
@@garrett1433 same too! also nice nitw profile picture!
You too!!
Cloverfield is my favorite found footage movie
Have u seen v/h/s 1 and 2?
I literally searched for this this morning.
reeses dad: oh no am sick
charlie: *so you have chosen death*
I wanted to see a skit about the plants
I love that FoundFlix (sorry i don't know the guys name) can make AMAZING explanation videos over some TERRIBLE movies, such as The Gallows. Keep up the great work!!!
Had to rewatch so I could get caught up with The Gallows 2 Ending explained
Same😭
Finally!!! I wanted am ending explained on the gallows.
favorite found footage movie is a tie between the troll hunter [norwegin movie about college kids following what they believe ot be a poacher only to discover a lot more] and the tunnels [news station film crew go into the tunnels under sydney I think it is from wwII and do a segment only to come across something from aboriginal lore.]
This one reminds me of the scp: 701, The Hanged King
Honestly if they made the SCP story of The Hanged King could be awesome
I remember the mad hype for this movie"horror movies have a new Jason , a new Freddy"....... And then I went to go see it and this is what I see 🤦🏾♂️
This is on my top 5 favorite FoundFlix video
We need Quarantine: ending explained
What about REC.
We need a quarantine ending.
@@evanward4303 There is a reason that there is no ending explained on it yet.
I don't think they target adults with films like this I remember watching it I was like 11 and I didn't care for the story so much as that was scary and the quick jumps so I think it's a cash grab to younger people
Remember how this came out the same time as the Charlie Charlie challenge so everyone thought this moving was about Charlie Charlie
When I watched this review, the movie seemed pretty solid. I'll have to watch it when i'm older.
FOUND FLIX PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON THE MOVIE "Ghost Stories" with Martin Freeman I watched it last night AND IT'S SO CRAZY AND CONFUSING PLEASE HELP
Yes thx Ivy Anderson
Can we please get a video on the paranormal activity movies.
The thumbnail is me in my teachers bedroom after she called my mom
I don’t understand why the ghost wants revenge but I think I understand the revenge he did. He killed Reese because his dad has to live with the pain of knowing that his son is dead.
Probably out of selfishness, Reese's dad would've died, not Charlie.
But then again, what fault does his dad has? blame the school for using a real gallows for the play.
It would have been better if Reese's dad to have some hated towards Charlie for stealing the girl he loves, rigged the prop to break, than act like his sick. Then Charlie's girlfriend figures out that the prop was tampered with and tells the cops, but their think that she's only saying that cause she's heart broken and wanted to blame Charlie's death on someone.
Please do 'Enemy' with Jake Gyllenhaal ending explained!
I listen to these videos in the background while im doing other stuff. Great content.
Does anyone wonder why a prop could kill someone in the first place?
BigDickLonzo 69 the school was a complete dumbass and actually used a real noose and a real trap door
Why do you look like shaggy but older lmao (love your vids)
“He’s coming for me.”
*cLaP CLaP*
It's more cruel to kill someone's child, than them. IE...better revenge.
But it wasn't even Reese's dad's fault for what happened. Charlie is a pretty stupid ghost.
Revenge for what?
Cybermat47 EXACTLY. Reese and his father had nothing to do with his death. If anything, kill the dumbasses who thought putting a FUCKING GALLOW in a school play was a good idea
Everyone, I was just responding to Foundflix's specific "Doesn't Make Sense" comment at(12:50-13:02).
When you say revenge, all I can think of is your revenge against Skull Face in Metal Gear Solid 5
