The Gallows


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.

These hand held camera movies are pretty much a dime a dozen since Paranormal Activity started the whole craze years back.  For the most part they are pretty crappy and never have a good payoff.  This one was one of the rare exceptions.  I'm not saying that it was great or anything, but there was plenty of tension built and lots of jump type scares.  There was definitely too much looking at the floor while people were running but the story build, the tension and the ending payoff were definitely better than average.

I would sort of recommend people checking this out.  Again - it wasn't great,  But it wasn't bad like most of them are either.
