This Summer's "The Gallows"



"This July 10...Every School...Has It's Spirit!"  Hah!  I loved that line from the trailer!  Have you heard of the "Charlie, Charlie" fad going around?  Well you are soon going to meet Charlie Grimille.  Here's a quick run donw of what the next found footage horror film is a all about:

"Everyone in Beatrice, Nebraska knows the name Charlie Grimille, just as everyone knows what happened 20 years ago on stage at Beatrice High School's production of 'The Gallows.'  Originally the understudy, Charlie took the lead's place on opening night.  But instead of bowing to applause, Charlie ended up really swinging from the noose.

Charlie's death has loomed over the small town ever since.  Now, on the anniversary of his tragic real-life curtain call, Beatrice High School's drama department is preparing to perform the same play, in the same auditorium.  Pfeifer, the star of the show, has spear-headed the revival in an attempt to put the past to rest.  The night before the big debut, however, Pfeifer discovers her male costar, Reese, with his football buddy, Ryan, and Ryan's cheerleader girlfriend, Cassidy, sabotaging the props in an attempt to ruin the opening.  But there is far more to worry about than the show going on.  Suddenly locked in, with no cell service, no way out, and no one knowing they are even there, the teens soon realize Charlie isn't at peace.  And he isn't resting..."

I think I'm going to like this.  It mixes the new "found footage horror" genre with the classic "horror from the 80's" story.  The best of both worlds!  If you are any sort of fan when it comes to horror, then you need to give this movie a watch.  And if you need a little more convincing, here's the trailer:


The Gallows hits theaters July 10 of this summer.
