WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In a misguided attempt to honour the twentieth anniversary of a high school student who accidentally died during a school play, a group of students break in to their school at night and resurrect the failed stage production. However, as it turns out, it’s a tragedy that should have been left alone all this time…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The Gallows is a frightful and downright terrifying tale of what happens when past traditions are resurrected with little to no regarding of consequences.
