The teaser trailer for this film was great and I was looking forward to what looked like a savage and rather nasty horror film.
Sadly I found The Gallows to be utterly tragic in every way. The film is another entry in the overcrowded found footage genre and the story's cameraman was obnoxious and idiotic right from the start.
All the characters here are paper-thin and clichéd, they make stupid decisions to put themselves needlessly in peril.
But generally there isn't much peril, or danger, or scares. Distractingly amateurish, The Gallows looked as if it was shot for fifty quid in a spare weekend.
It's very annoying to pay a lot of money to see a film as awful as this in the cinema, because it's not even worth a rental.
Avoid paying to see the full film and just watch the trailer for free, that way you won't feel robbed.
