On July 10th, New Line Cinema will be releasing their new found footage horror film The Gallows. To hype this release, a clip that shows the opening of the film, which shows the horrific accident that befalls a young student during a theater play, has been released and can be seen below.
The film’s synopsis reads:
Twenty years after an accident caused the death of the lead actor during a high school play, students at the same small town school resurrect the failed stage production in a misguided attempt to honor the anniversary of the tragedy—but ultimately find out that some things are better left alone.
The Gallows is directed by Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff, who we also exclusively interviewed a few months back. There, you can read about the genesis of the film, who it ended up at Blumhouse before getting a release through New Line. They also speak to creating a micro-indie and how they hope they’ve created an iconic villain!
