“Twenty years after a deadly freak accident at a high school play, a misguided attempt to re-stage the play and honor the student proves that some things are better left in the past.”
This trailer made me feel more nervous than a good percentage of the full horror films I’ve seen this year. There is a playful mood, setting the tone for the kind of horror that transports us all back to the days of our youth; most importantly, they do this without showing too much. It may not be breaking any remarkably new ground – found-footage, teenagers, haunted high school – but, as this 90 second trailer wraps, I can’t help but feel like The Gallows will be a wonderfully entertaining, nostalgic, scream-filled 90 minutes. I can’t wait to see this one.
