Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that The Gallows is a found-footage horror movie about a cursed high school play. There are noisy, shocking jump-scares, plus images of teens killed by hanging, some drops of blood, and a few graphic, gory images. There's also some bullying, arguing, cruel practical jokes, and vandalizing. A teen makes lewd gestures, and there's a bit of innuendo and some tight/revealing clothes. Language includes one "f--k," plus "s--t," "bitch," "damn," "hell," and more. This is the kind of movie that teen horror hounds will flock to on its opening weekend, though it may quickly be forgotten after that.
