The Gallows Act II

Here we go again.. Take what could have been a effective found footage sequel and make it normal. I really will never understand the logic behind it. Take a film that's known for its effectiveness in found footage format and make a sequel that completely ignores that fact.

I was excited for this film. I saw the original in the theater the day it came out and I own it. This however I will not be adding to my collection. It's dull and not scary in the least. The jump scares aren't effective in my opinion. I didn't jump once and I was hoping to like I did with the first film.

The acting was one of the few redeeming qualities that It has and I give the actors two thumbs up. It wasn't an ugly or a cheap looking film. But as a sequel to the gallows this fails hard for me.

I was so excited when I saw this was coming out. And quite upset I wasn't able to see it in the theater like I did the first. And now that I've watched it I know why. Even tho the theater setting would've improved the quality of the scares very slightly I get why it didn't get a wide release. It's simply not effective.

Younger horror fans may enjoy this more than anybody else I think. It's just not scary or entertaining enough to enlighten an older audience in my option. If there is a gallows Act III I won't be excited for it like I was this one. I hoped for a sequel and I guess I got one...
