After laughing at the hilarious reuse of a mask and scare from Creep, I literally jumped out of my seat in applause.
You see, this is one helluva scare from The Gallows, a classic bait and switch moment that sets audiences up only to pull the rug out from under them. Bravo!
If the rest of the film is this good, we’re in for a classic come July 10th!
“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!
The Gallows stars Cassidy Gifford, Ryan Shoos, Reese Mishler and Pfeifer Brown.
