Charlie Grimille

Thiller and horror movies are probably my favorite movie genre out there. On that note I've seen just about just about everyone out there from A-Z produced by Lifetime or the big screen companies. I find myself searching for the best ones out there, finding most now a days to have the same basic plot line in which I can predict what is going to happen. Every once and a while I will find one that I truly liked and can talk honest about. The Gallows is one of those.

The Gallows takes place in 2013 at Beatrice High School in which the drama department is putting on the play called The Gallows. This is the first time they are putting on the show since the tragic event in which a student by the name of Charlie Gimille was accidentally hanged during the first showing in 1993. The movie follows Reese Houser, an actor in the play, from the unique perspective of his friend Ryan Shoos' camera. Ryan finds out that the only reason that Reese is doing the play is to get close to Pfeifer Ross, the lead female role in the play. Ryan convinces Reese that he can't go on because he is a bad actor and that he can get close to Pfeiffer after the plays finished. Ryan, his girlfriend Cassidy and, easily convinced Reese go to the school at night to destroy the set so the play can't go on. While doing this they happen to run into Pfeifer. Upon trying to leave because they can't destroy it while Pfeiffer is there, they run into trouble. They find themselves stuck in the school trying to get away from Charlie Grimille.

The Gallows is a great movie. Its a horror filled with suspenseful jump scares and a unique perspective from the camera of the main characters. The Gallows has a great story with a great ending that wraps everything up and makes it satisfying. The Gallows has the pass by me for the horror department
