    Storyline

    Edit
    Students from Nebraska discover some strange things that have happened to their school. Charlie Grimille, a innocent high school student that went to the same school as the victims earlier in the plot line was in a play called "Gallow." He was supposed to be standing on a thin wooden board with his neck around a loose rope. That board fell through and caused Charlie to die on the spot. Many years later, these high school students decide to reenact the play in Charlie's honor. When the lead role gets a bad case of stage fright, they decide to go to the school the night before to ruin the set so the play wouldn't happen. Little did they know what would happen after that..

    • Trivia
      The opening Charlie Grimille hanging was a played by ear sequence with the rest of the cast and crew during its initial shots, Directors/writer Lofing pitched to Cluff and the actor Jesse Cross of not informing the rest of the cast and crew of the sudden prop malfunction they had scripted in, leading everybody to believe Cross had actually just hung to death, the genuine screams, horror and frantic rushing of the crowd encapsulated exactly what Lofing had envisioned for the beginning death sequence and maintained the very first few shots as the film's opening.
    • Goofs
      At the end it is revealed that Pfeifer is Alexis and Charlie's daughter. She is a senior in high school Charlie died 20 years before so she would of have to been conceived before he died for her to be his daughter. Therefore Pfeifer was a 19 year old senior. She was born almost 7 months after her father died. Her mother made sure to hold her back to stay with Reese and exact their revenge.

    nothing special
    The positive thing about The Gallows is the fact that it was well promoted worldwide, you can find it in every shop selling flicks and all magazines were talking about this found footage flick. But the hype was a major let down for me. I can understand that teens will love this kind of horrors because there's the usual nerd loves cheerleader story and pranks being done until things go really wrong.

    Bur for me there wasn't any frightening moment or so typical with those found footage flicks a jump scene. And you have seen it all before, people levitating, being thrown in the air, the usual stuff.

    On part of the effects, it's well done but it's so low on horror that I even thought to push the stop button and go hang myself...
