The Gallows Act II

About This Movie

The Gallows Act II dives into the eerie world of acting schools mixed with the supernatural, which is quite an interesting setting. Auna Rue, our lead, navigates the pressure of her new environment, and it’s through this lens that the film explores themes of ambition and the darker side of fame. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it does ramp up nicely towards the climax. Practical effects are used, which adds a certain grit that digital effects can’t quite replicate. There's a palpable tension built through the atmosphere, though the performances can feel a bit hit or miss at times. Still, there's something distinctive about its approach to the horror genre, especially with the viral challenge element throwing a modern twist into the mix.
