The Gallows is a 2015 American found footage supernatural horror film written and directed by Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff. The film stars Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown, Ryan Shoos and Cassidy Gifford.
Development of The Gallows began in 2011 when Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff uploaded a new trailer for the film, The trailer went viral and was seen by producer Dean Schneider of the company Management 360 who invited them to his office in Los Angeles, signed a representation and financing contract through the production division of his company Entertainment 360 and referred them to Jason Blum, owner of the company Blumhouse Productions which specialized in the production On Blum's advice, Lofing and Cluff invested additional work and in fact, over the next two years, the vast majority of the film (about 80%) was shot in Fresno. Carolyn D'Vere, and three actors were chosen: Shoos, Brown, and Mishler. Gifford joined in at the last minute, after it emerged that an actress who participated in the original version had lost a lot of weight. Gifford was recommended by her famous parents, but Cluff emphasized that she won the role on her own merits, and he himself initially did not think she would agree to participate in the film.
The Gallows was released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema on July 10, 2015. It was largely disliked by critics and audiences but grossed $43 million worldwide against a $100,000 budget. A sequel, The Gallows Act II, was released in October 2019.
