Critics Consensus: Narratively contrived and visually a mess, The Gallows sends viewers on a shaky tumble to the bottom of the found-footage horror barrel.

It was just very slow and not many scares happened.

It doesn't work.

At worst, it amplifies what detractors of the subgenre complain about: unnecessary camera shaking, jump scares and fake outs without any real fear or tension.

As someone who passionately, deeply loves movies, especially horror movies, and laments that not nearly enough genre offerings actually land a theatrical release, I beg of you, please don't go see The Gallows.

[I]t's one of the lower rung POV horror films around.
