Leave your thoughts about The Gallows.
| Consequence of SoundCollin BrennanThe Gallows is the kind of film that drives a man to drink after a noontime screening, and it might be what finally turns me off found-footage horror. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterThere's an attempt here to make the ghostly villain, Charlie, into a memorable antagonist - kidding, there's no attempt at all. |
| The Film StageNick AllenA movie (essentially) made by teenagers, with a teenager's intelligence, and for teenagers. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA straight-up, seen-it-all-before found footage terror feature starring a bunch of untested actors, directed by two men who have no interest in disrupting audience expectations. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekExcruciatingly awful horror movie...in which the lack of technique is exceeded only by the lack of imagination. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereGrade Z effort gets big promo push from WB? Corporate ripoff. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThere is not one single thing to recommend this found footage film. |
| TheHorrorShowAnton Bitelthe arresting start and reality-challenging end are left in search of their middle, a sort of narrative black hole filled with much aimless scurrying about, Scooby Doo-style sleuthing & snot-nosed weeping into the lens (à la Blair Witch Project). |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberAny film that tries to revive this technique needs a clever story or unusual filmmaking ingenuity to stand out from the crowd. The Gallows has neither. It has enough mild scares to captivate the under-25 crowd. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThis is the kind of movie where you can anticipate the next big shock and it usually arrives right on cue, and yet it still gets you right in the gut. |
