That's what I was thinking of when I heard about it too. The irony is that the guy who directed this went to the same film school as I did and had a preview screening for it while I was at the school. It was going on the same time as one of my classes though so I missed out. Now I'm glad that I did.
Huh, that's kinda cool. Hopefully bad films aren't common in your school's history. ;) On a separate note, I'd actually consider getting this movie. Unfortunately--or probably fortunately--I'm too cheap to invest in a film that I'm only getting to laugh at.
SuperWillHatch The Sixth Sense was done great though. That being said I'm not that kind of person who gets mad when a lot of plot elements, themes, or etc. is similar to a previous work though. I'm glad The Gallows used that idea of students being haunted by a high school legend. I just wish it would have been done better though.
***** Oh, I agree. I mean, shit, I actually like it when filmmakers wear their inspirations on their sleeves and admit to "Oh, this inspired me, and so did this...". There are only so many story ideas to begin with, and if you first see that storyline playing out on Goosebumps or something, more power to you.
now i just want an office-style "cops dealing with the paranormal" movie, but its all handled very casually. Stuff like "Shit i don't know the code for runner zombies i only know shamblers" "Martha there's a pentagram in the briefing room again".
Having been in theatre, it actually is not unheard of for a functioning gallows to be built for a show that requires it, HOWEVER, the amount of safety and precautions taken with this have to be enormous. The actor is usually supported by a harness that is hidden and attached to their back, holding the actor up so the rope can't be pulled taut. Even then there are other measures that are often taken (hidden extra length of rope to make sure that if something does go wrong, they will fall safely to the ground rather than be hung) Theatre can be a dangerous business lol
+Stephen O'Malley Well the Macbeth thing is just superstition really. The technical director is in charge of making sure everything is stable and safe, from the hung lights to the set pieces.
@@steveom5479one explanation for the Macbeth thing, according to one of my high school English teachers, is that the theatre company puts on a production of that play when they're in financial troubles because it's popular and brings in money.
this movies is LITERALLY just like an episode of goosebumps where a ghost is haunting a school due to them trying to have a play that the ghost died performing in years ago
+tbonevideos23 You're right; there was an episode called "The Phantom of the Auditorium" that is actually pretty close to that summary (don't remember if there was a ghost, but there was a creeper haunting a play).
liberty dude Yeah there was a ghost At the very end of the episode the kid playing the Phantom gets knocked out by the ghost The ghost tries to kill the main character girl But fucks up and falls down the trap hole like he died originally Then the girl finds a year book showing how the random stage hand was really the ghost the whole time..... BEST DESCRIPTION EVER And yet STILL scarier than this freakin movie
Weird thing is, I had a similar plot idea a while ago. Two teens hang themselves from the rafters of the school auditorium in the middle of a play to escape their dull teenage lives, only to find that they're ghosts doomed to forever haunt the school. Enraged at having to spend the rest of their existance enduring the lives they tried to escape, the ghosts start killing students, teachers and administrators in an effort to get the school shut down and thus end their exposure to other teens. Sort of imagine a couple of school shooters if they were evil ghosts and you can get the horror. Certainly a lot scarier than an invisible understudy.
+Eric Emigh Sounds interesting. But maybe the story could explore more issues and horror elements if the protagonists were the successful suicide atempters? It would be more scary imo if you followed the dead students horror of being forced to live there day to day.
Bungis Albondigas Interesting thought, although that's more Twilight Zone horror than the supernatural slasher horror I was aiming for. Really, I think either one could work, although your idea would definitely be more tragic.
Jack Rose Reviews & Plays Wow, that's... not something I was expecting. Sure, go ahead! Just please don't sue me if I wind up incorporating the concept into one of my fanfics.
Jack Rose Reviews & Plays Actually, I happen to have some experience writing screenplays. If you'd like, I'd love to help out the project, but I can understand if you want to keep it an in-house thing.
By the way, the people involved with this movie, (directors, writers, and actors), this is their first actually movie. They only did short films and from what I saw on IMBD, their last one too. So take comfort that this movie destroyed what little careers they all had.
Oh man, my girlfriend and I saw The Ouija Experiment. And yeah, it was terrible, but it was also hilarious, especially near the ending. I remember we both cracked up during the scene near the end with the mirror, I don't even remember why at this point, I feel like it had something to do with a floating head, but I definitely remember raucous laughter.
1. How would Reese never notice that his dad was in the cast picture for seemingly years? 2. Why would the ghost of Charlie bother going at the son of Rick, and not Rick himself? Questions, questions.
1. Maybe the cast picture is supposed to be very faded due to the location of the cabinet it's stored in? 2. Because the ghost is a moron? Or just "plot"?
1) You'd think when his son ended up with the role he had something would have been said at home by Mom or Dad about being careful. Or the parents would be involved in making sure it's safe this time. NOTHING about this movie makes sense.
Even if the guy didn't notice it himself SOMEONE would have and pointed it out to him. A freaking teacher would - teachers can't mind their own business either.
I think the timeline would match up if Charlies girlfriend had gotten pregnant either the day of or a few days before the play and for whatever reason the daughter had to start school a year late
Wait...so...basically the crazy woman brainwashed her daughter her entire life to know exactly who her father was (my brain can't and won't even comprehend the stupidity of a ghost impregnatinng the mom) and get her to hop on board the crazy train on this revenge thing? Make the daughter pose as a high school student around the same time as all these kids happen to be seniors?? THEN when the school just HAPPENEd to perform the same play that Charlie was killed (( seriously what the actual fuck in what warped universe would that actually happen?!!)) she would help Charlie kill al these kids?! I can't even with the plot holes.... All that aside I think the biggest problem I have with this is how the trailers marketed this movie. They basically compared it with some of the greatest horror movie icons like Freddy and Jason. Like really?! REALLY?!! No no nope sit the hell down Gallows
This is another movie like My Bloody Valentine set in a small town written by someone who didn't grow up in a small town. Everybody knows everybody's business. All these kids would have been together in school from kindergarten on, known each other's parents on sight. Being raised by her loony Mom, the daughter could probably end up like Carrie White.
Jack Rose Reviews & Plays Found footage films are *very* hard to make. Yet people keep fucking making them because they think there's nothing to it, that it's a simple genre that doesn't require too much money. The only people who aren't talented enough or care enough seem to be the only ones making found footage films.
Those kinds of stage accidents do happen though. It's rare, but there are a few actors who've played Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar who have actually been hung while performing his suicide scene and there are probably others.
+inlovewithJLT And do the schools then put JCS back on? Besides, even if a school did put "The Gallows" back on, you can be damn sure they wouldn't construct a functional gallows again. Although I guess the ghost could have done that, but still.
Eric Emigh I don't know. My point wasn't really about them doing the show again (which I agree is unlikely and foolish) but more in response to them saying "Who makes a functional gallows for a play?" It's not about the set piece being fully functional, it's about whatever safety was supposed to be in place not working properly.
I went to this movie with a friend from school and that's just because we were home we were bored and wanted to go see a movie and then go get dinner. I personally found it scary but that's because I am completely terrified at the idea of being hung like that freaks me out if it happens on non horror movies.
Backlog viewer's thoughts: Did Brian just predict Kobra Kai. It seems like a coincidence, but then I remembered that show originally was a TH-cam Premium exclusive.
the original PA movie had the jump scare ending, cops shooting her ending, and there is also one with her slitting her throat. I think it says something about thanking the SDPD for the footage. it gets the cops in those cities some spotlight. Doing the Gallows was also Pfeiffer's idea.....I'm like you guys, I'm surprised a school would do this. Btw, you're sooo fucking awesome guys. I love all your reviews.
Well on that weird ghost dad idea I mean if the story happens in 2013 and if the whole pregnancy started right before Charlie died that would take nine months right there out. Maybe she got held back a year or two? I mean that makes as much sense as it possibly can because seventeen or eighteen are common for graduation. Seriously if they pushed the date it happened like into 2012 or something it would have made much more sense. I mean its a found footage movie they could do it whenever.
Do they even hold back kids anymore. When I was in school it was "social promotion" and they don't learn anything but at least you're not hurting the kid's feelings
45:52, Bushwacked Also, if you didn't have the history of doing these reviews and Snob reviews, I think PureFlix would have failed to realize Jesus Bro! was a parody and given it a national release.
To me t's not so much a plot hole. One they could just not recognize her because she likely moved away after Charlie died. It did say no one knows what happened to her which to me implies she left town. Could have found out pregnant shortly after and lets just say at most she is 18 when she graduates (most graduations around June). Depending on when her birthday is she may be 19 by the time her baby is born. By then it would be 94. The girl could just as easily changed her name before moving back to town not wanting the attention or to be found out. She likely enrolled the daughter in school (doesn't really matter a what point) until she got into drama and suggested redoing this play which if I recall she did suggest. Charlie in all likelihood was not haunting the school the entire time he had no reason to really. I think the old girlfriend tried contacted him when she came back to town a la ouji also could be because they were using the same gallows. I think it highly unlikely school build that big of a prop and just destroyed it. It likely was dismantled and put into storage.
Daughter and Mom at the end look like Carrie and Mrs. White in DePalma's movie...which I think was intentional. I found it really, REALLY stupid that evidently there's a saying in this town or among the students that goes back to the accident - "You're going to choke like Charlie." - but they're all still completely ignorant about it.
I'm not trying to defend the movie I hate the movie too, but when you're saying the age of the girl doesn't make sense I have to disagree. The movie takes place in 2013, it takes 9 months for the baby to come out, so she will be like 19 years old in 2013 and I was 19 when I graduated high school and no I wasn't held back.
I didn't think it was a bad movie, I just wish there hadn't been any trolls in the audience, I kept quiet during the movie, but in my mind, I was like, "SHHHHHHUUUUUUTTTTTTT UUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This is one of those few films that I rate a 1/10 on. I mean, I've seen terrible horror films that at least had characters, acting, or scares that were interesting or executed fine. This had literally zero.
I still liked the movie. I don't care. I thought it was a decent lost footage film. yes everyone dies but I kinda didn't mind the twist. I liked the look of Charlie. It's a decent horror movie overall for me, not a bad film.
Does the dome light in this car not have a steady on/off? If I put my car’s dome light in the On position, not just the “Temporarily On for entering and exiting the vehicle”, but the Steadily On switch, will it time out too? Weird thing for me to focus on but it must be annoying to have to keep opening the door now and then or having the light go out. I’m almost positive my car’s dome light can just be *on.*
Doesn't sitting in your car with the light on for so long kill the battery? You gotta bring a damn lantern with you next time give it a eerie creepy feel LOL anyways thanks for reviewing all these shiitty horror movies for us so we dont have to watch it!
I am friends with the directors because this was filmed in my hometown. Here's why it was R. It was R simply because New Line wanted it to be R. The directors are both LDS/Mormon and did NOT want this to be R, because as a general rule, they don't watch R movies. They fought and fought and fought to get this PG-13, but New Line decided "It's R because horror movies do better at the box office when they're R.'' As much as you don't like this movie, joke's on you because the directors just signed some deals with Netflix and Amazon Prime!
There’s a sequel to The Gallows. Are you guys gonna do a Midnight Screenings on it? Link to the Wikipedia article: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gallows_Act_II
what got to me was the scene when charlie killed whats her face. thing is, i can't look at hooded figures in movies. i think it's because i grew up watching The Fly (original version) and if you seen that movie, you know exactly what i mean.
I think one of the things that really did this in for me is that if we're going by the assumption that the movie verse is set in our time, Fake hangings would have been perfected [I assume someone did some research before they let that poor sap put his head inside the noose] Heck, A winterguard show did this successfully what like 5 years after (?) at WGI. Its called Dante's Inferno look it up. Also, Who would let the theater kids do that in the first place? where'd they get the funding did they steal from the band kids??
I don't know much about fake hangings in plays but I've heard of a few Halloween attractions that incorporate that kind of idea, and in one instance the actor ended up accidentally hanging himself for real.
How about this. Charlie and the crazy girlfriend are both blonds. The daughter has dark hair. The daughter is the football players sister. The original lead who bailed was fucking Charlie's girlfriend and got her knocked up. Charlie finds out and rigs the gallows to kill him. When the lead bails, Charlie carries on with the play and kills himself to spite his girl for cheating. Charlie visits the girlfriend till she goes nuts, and now she raises her daughter to help him get revenge.
To be fair, the girl might have been adopted, but what the hell do I know, this movie sucked, I saw on on demand and hated it, and this is coming from a guy who really likes Found Footage movies
This was absolutely repulsive filmmaking. Whomever directed and wrote this should never direct another movie ever again. They should be like the director of Red Planet, and just leave the film industry forever.
At first I was going to say that Iiked that movie. However, upon further googling, I realized that I was thinking of Mission to Mars. Red Planet was indeed awful.
It basically sounds like this movie should be renamed Plotholes the Movie and should actually be rated WGS, which stands for; who gives a shit. I will admit to, that; I have never been a huge fan of the found footage genre.
I swear the creator of this movie got his inspiration from a Goosebumps book. Seriously, it's almost the exact same plot as Phantom of the Auditorium!
That's what I was thinking of when I heard about it too. The irony is that the guy who directed this went to the same film school as I did and had a preview screening for it while I was at the school. It was going on the same time as one of my classes though so I missed out. Now I'm glad that I did.

On a separate note, I'd actually consider getting this movie. Unfortunately--or probably fortunately--I'm too cheap to invest in a film that I'm only getting to laugh at.
Well, M Night Shyamalan got the idea for The Sixth Sense from an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?

I didn't think it was a bad movie, I just wish there hadn't been any trolls in the audience, I kept quiet during the movie, but in my mind, I was like, "SHHHHHHUUUUUUTTTTTTT UUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I'm a sucker for ghost stories (especially set in/around a school)...is it wrong I still want to see this?
Yes
"Columbine Paintball" I'll do you one better. Airsoft. There is no way this would end in tears.
I remember trying to watch this on tv but I turned it off for something better like Forged in Fire.
Stage Fright is a better horror movie about a play
This is one of those few films that I rate a 1/10 on. I mean, I've seen terrible horror films that at least had characters, acting, or scares that were interesting or executed fine. This had literally zero.
I still liked the movie. I don't care. I thought it was a decent lost footage film. yes everyone dies but I kinda didn't mind the twist. I liked the look of Charlie. It's a decent horror movie overall for me, not a bad film.
Does the dome light in this car not have a steady on/off? If I put my car’s dome light in the On position, not just the “Temporarily On for entering and exiting the vehicle”, but the Steadily On switch, will it time out too? Weird thing for me to focus on but it must be annoying to have to keep opening the door now and then or having the light go out. I’m almost positive my car’s dome light can just be *on.*
Doesn't that drain your battery more as the light's constantly on?
12:33 - 13:12 Same thing going here as in the shitty Wing Commander movie (1999) "He doesn't exist!"
Wing Commander was LIGHT YEARS better, tho.
Cinema Snob needs to do a full review of this POS movie. Worst found footage movie ever!! And THAT'S saying something.
Doesn't sitting in your car with the light on for so long kill the battery? You gotta bring a damn lantern with you next time give it a eerie creepy feel LOL anyways thanks for reviewing all these shiitty horror movies for us so we dont have to watch it!
I am friends with the directors because this was filmed in my hometown. Here's why it was R. It was R simply because New Line wanted it to be R. The directors are both LDS/Mormon and did NOT want this to be R, because as a general rule, they don't watch R movies. They fought and fought and fought to get this PG-13, but New Line decided "It's R because horror movies do better at the box office when they're R.'' As much as you don't like this movie, joke's on you because the directors just signed some deals with Netflix and Amazon Prime!
Joshua Hickey as much as so called directors succeed this movie still fucking sucked
Damn you guys were hard on this film. I kind of liked it for being an easy watch with a moderately scary ending.
Oh go fuck yourself. There was nothing remotley scary about this movie and if you felt there was- you have shit taste in horror movies.
There’s a sequel to The Gallows. Are you guys gonna do a Midnight Screenings on it?

what got to me was the scene when charlie killed whats her face.
thing is, i can't look at hooded figures in movies. i think it's because i grew up watching The Fly (original version) and if you seen that movie, you know exactly what i mean.
I think one of the things that really did this in for me is that if we're going by the assumption that the movie verse is set in our time, Fake hangings would have been perfected [I assume someone did some research before they let that poor sap put his head inside the noose] Heck, A winterguard show did this successfully what like 5 years after (?) at WGI. Its called Dante's Inferno look it up. Also, Who would let the theater kids do that in the first place? where'd they get the funding did they steal from the band kids??
I don't know much about fake hangings in plays but I've heard of a few Halloween attractions that incorporate that kind of idea, and in one instance the actor ended up accidentally hanging himself for real.
They are already doing the second shitty one
How about this. Charlie and the crazy girlfriend are both blonds. The daughter has dark hair. The daughter is the football players sister. The original lead who bailed was fucking Charlie's girlfriend and got her knocked up. Charlie finds out and rigs the gallows to kill him. When the lead bails, Charlie carries on with the play and kills himself to spite his girl for cheating. Charlie visits the girlfriend till she goes nuts, and now she raises her daughter to help him get revenge.
You're trying harder than the people who made the friggin movie.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy crap was the Oujia Experience godawful. I think The Gallows was actually a little bit worse.
To be fair, the girl might have been adopted, but what the hell do I know, this movie sucked, I saw on on demand and hated it, and this is coming from a guy who really likes Found Footage movies
To be honest I thought they were just like a weird two person cult to this play.
How the fuck does a ghost impregnate someone? And to think the teaser was somewhat scary.
dropped more f bombs in this review than actually good moments in this film
#ghostfuckingisreal
This was absolutely repulsive filmmaking. Whomever directed and wrote this should never direct another movie ever again. They should be like the director of Red Planet, and just leave the film industry forever.
At first I was going to say that Iiked that movie. However, upon further googling, I realized that I was thinking of Mission to Mars. Red Planet was indeed awful.
Good Fucking Riddance.
So, like, a really really shitty adaptation of that one SCP entry?
Glad I skipped this movie.
Film classifications/certification never made any sense like 30-40% of the time..some I get/understand others....I'm like WTF!!!???Lol
It basically sounds like this movie should be renamed Plotholes the Movie and should actually be rated WGS, which stands for; who gives a shit. I will admit to, that; I have never been a huge fan of the found footage genre.
Or she lied about her age in order to play the long con
One of the worst found footage movies I've ever seen, and that is saying a fucking truckload.
