It's a very low bar, but The Gallows Act II is better than its predecessor, a movie I hated. This "follow-up" gets the direct-to-video treatment and on the plus side, it drops the found footage style and goes more traditional, but otherwise the story is just as dumb. It also squandered the potential of having a consistent commentary on social media fame for some cheap scares with supernatural elements which I'm generally not a fan of. The twist ending was interesting but even thinking about it for a moment, it makes no sense at all. I will say, Ema Horvath in the lead wasn't half bad and perhaps with better material, could have a decent future (interestingly, her feature debut, "Live Share Follow" is also about YT popularity). **1.75/5**
