Review: The Gallows

Cassidy Gifford stars in Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Gallows"

I understand why found footage movies won’t seem to die. They’re cheaper than even the average horror film, plus they’re usually easy to make.

As a matter of fact, there’s a chance that Deathgasm may actually be my very first cinematic experience with anything from that country. What …

Perry Blackshear's "They Look Like People"

As shown with the critically acclaimed It Follows, seeing things that others are unable to see is an interesting concept that can be put to good use in the horror film genre. This practice creates a sense of mental instability within the characters that assists in building cinematic uncertainty for the viewer. Although it’s definitely not the exact same thing …
