Don't waste ya money, not scary, and kinda lame. I watched it and I laughed. I could say everything that was wrong with it but I'd go on forever. It's a good idea (I guess) but the delivery of the plot and cast was just laughable. it was a waste of time in my opinion the first one was not to good but a lot better compared to this one, no one will remember this movie in a few years. The first film was bad, but at least it tried to be original. I don't even know why I wasted my time. The film is sooooo horrible, avoid it.

What was that ending? Yes lets film a "suicide" for youtube and put our faces in the video ...

Whenever there is a clean-cut, cute, awesome guy in these things, you know he will end up being:

• Killed.

• The Killer (or one of)

It's never NOT either of those two. It's getting tiresome.

As an internet challenge, this seems like the stupidest idea. Videotaping yourself and your friends purposefully murdering someone for a "challenge"? Yep, good luck avoiding the police morons. -_-;;;

I didn't understand much about the girl's plight. She wanted to be an actress, but her family disapproved because...........why? But were fine with her sister being a fashion designer, which is at least as much work and chance of "making it"...? It didn't make a lot of sense.

They also didn't explain why she was moving in with her sister. To go to the drama high school? Was that all? What about the visions she kept having that had nothing to do with the folks doing "the challenge"? Are we to assume Charlie was just messing with her?

...Charlie. Dude. Give it a rest. You're creating more ghosts who will come after you in the nether realm. Sheesh.

I've honestly never understood this in horror. "The ghost wants revenge by MURDERING the people he doesn't like!" So.........he'll have to deal with them in the spirit realm instead..? How is this a solution? Most living murderers do so to get RID of someone they DON'T want to deal with....not keep them around!

Anyroad, it was pretty good for what it was, but I would have liked it better if it turned out the girl's family was protecting her from her own schizophrenia or some such. THAT would make sense why they wouldn't want her in drama. THAT would tie things up neatly, explain the visions....and not be nearly as stupid as a "challenge".

I get it; it's a commentary on the stupidity of meme culture, yadda yadda...but how hamfisted can you get? Sheesh. Terrible. Just terrible.

The acting was pretty good, though, and up until the end, I enjoyed the story! I just wish it could have been a bit more dynamic, and leaned into the family issues a bit more instead of being just "Hey spooky stuff! OOoooOOOoOoOOoOoo!"

Just so tired of that.

So I saw the first Gallows and I liked it that I even saw it twice. When I saw this in the DVD Redbox I felt compelled to rent and see what happens in the second part. However, I should have left it there LOL. The actors are really not good actors they are definitely first-time actors and there are a lot of loose ends in this movie. For instance, when Auna is doing her Charlie challenge YouTube videos who's moving the table and who is throwing the Vase across her bedroom? Is it Cada playing jokes on her or is it really the spirit of Charlie? At the end we realize the Cada betrayed her and so did everyone else in the movie. The Charlie cult is in full force, so do they have to lure an innocent person to hang themselves in order to keep Charlie content? I don't know why it is rated R there is nothing rated R about this movie. Jason Blum is definitely just producing Riff Raff in order to make some money and not quality movies as he used to. I will create my own scary movie production and create quality scary movies like in the 80s and 90s. Watch out! 😁

This movie wasn't great but was fairly watchable until the last fifteen or twenty minutes when it went mostly off the rales. The last five minutes though were mind-blowingly nonsensical. Was there a Charlie cult? Was this an internet stunt by truly loathsome people. And finally: WHAT WAS THE DEAL WITH THE NEVERENDING STORY-esque VIDEO THE LEAD WAS OBSESSED WITH?

Avoid, avoid, avoid.

It was ok movie, Twist at the end of movie was predictable with bunch of editors and playing girls. this is little good as compared to first one there are better jump scenes and good sound effect used. However acting was not good at all.

After a below-average first movie, The Gallows Act II took a different approach from the first movie. What started out as "found footage" within the first two minutes of the movie, it turned into a theatrical experience which I liked. Unfortunately, the movie did start out slow as it didn't get into the "plot" until 15-20 minutes into the movie, which they showed the clip from the beginning of the movie but in Auna's (the main actress's perspective). From here on out, it started to pick up a little bit. The old classic jumpscares, predictable things, etc. However, at the same time, the main actress starts to go crazy as this "Charlie Game" is not what she thinks it is. Now, the last 15-20 minutes of the movie, were honestly the best. To avoid spoilers, I won't mention anything, but it was honestly the best part of the movie.

Honestly, other than the suspense aspect of the movie, it was definitely better than the first one, except for the slow movie for the first 15-20 minutes, the old classic jumpscares and predictable things. Overall, it was a decent movie.

I'm very disappointed that they killed the dog off. What did the dog do to Charlie!? Very disappointed/upset.

I can't decide if these 'Gallows' movies written by 7th graders or lonely, middle-aged housewives. This one is better than the first, pretty much only because of the poster actually makes you kinda wanna watch the movie.

It was utterly hilarious when the struggling actress that is portraying an even worse struggling actress gave a dramatic reading that sucked, but, within the realm of the story, was captivating.

Just don't watch either of these. They're a couple of run-of-the-mill Blumhouse turds.

It's terrible. Simply terrible.

The premise is sound, and it should be, it's over 100 years old, borrowing heavily from Robert W. Chambers 'The King in Yellow', wherein a Stage Play by the given name drives readers mad and sometimes has supernatural and dire consequences.

The Gallows Act II toys with the idea, using it to craft a relatively generic ghost story, where the readers of the so-named play are haunted and eventually killed by the ghost of Charlie, the specter of the play's author.

However, as one reaches the twist at the climax, the film unmakes itself. It turns out to be a conspiracy involving many of the victims of Charlie's curse, who have been perpetrating a ruse to convince our main character to take her own life. Of course, I suppose the audience is supposed to forget the telekinetic strangulations, the phantoms appearing and disappearing, and other supernatural phenomenon, as well as dismissing the capacity of the police to arrest the crew, who addresses the final hidden camera with faces uncovered, at the end of a young girl being hanged. It's a bafflingly stupid decision.
