The Gallows was released to do its scare work in 2015. We follow a group of high school students who are haunted by the ghost of a student who died during a play. The movie has some scary moments. However, weak character development and predictability are further incentives for realizing jump scares don't carry weight. The film is packed with atmosphere and some creepy scenes that should be good for some minor scares.
