BLU-RAY REVIEW: THE GALLOWS
10/11/2015

OVERVIEW: Don’t say his name when “The Gallows” arrives onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. From New Line Cinema comes the horror film “The Gallows,” starring Reese Mishler (“Youthful Daze”), Pfeifer Brown (“Molly’s Method”), Ryan Shoos (“As Night Comes”) and Cassidy Gifford (“God’s Not Dead”). The film will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD on October 13 and will be available early on Digital HD on September 29.

The Blu-ray disc of “The Gallows” will feature a Dolby Atmos® soundtrack remixed specifically for the home theater environment to place and move audio anywhere in the room, including overhead. To experience Dolby Atmos at home, a Dolby Atmos enabled AV receiver and additional speakers are required. Dolby Atmos soundtracks are fully backward compatible with traditional audio configurations and legacy home entertainment equipment that aren’t Dolby Atmos compatible. Fans can also own “The Gallows” via purchase from digital retailers. Lofing and Cluff’s original feature length cut of the film – the “director’s cut” that initially caught the attention of the film’s producers and led to “The Gallows” worldwide theatrical release – is included on the Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital HD.

SYNOPSIS: Twenty years after an accident caused the death of the lead actor during a high school play, students at the same small town school resurrect the failed stage production in a misguided attempt to honor the anniversary of the tragedy - but ultimately find out that some things are better left alone.

BLU-RAY: The film is presented in widescreen in a 2.40:1 aspect ration preserving its theatrical format. The picture is just flawless. Not only the picture looks great in this release, also the sound it is good, a 5.1 Dolby Digital in English that provides a good complement to the picture. It also includes  English, French  and Spanish subtitles.
