The Gallows Act II is a 2019 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff.

Aspiring actress Auna Rue moves in with her prop and dressmaker sister, Lisa, to attend Fellbrook High School, which has a prestigious drama program.

Auna embarrasses herself in front of Mr. Schlake's class by poorly performing a monologue until a schoolmate, Cade Parker, helps her.

As haunting visions unravel her mind, Auna tells Mr. Schlake she doesn’t want to read from The Gallows anymore, but she still recites a monologue from the play.

Auna also starts watching distressing confessional videos posted by Victor’s friend Lex, who reveals a disfiguring mark on her neck.

Auna unsuccessfully tries to intervene via text when she watches Lex, distraught with suicidal tendencies, prepare to hang herself during a livestream.

Meanwhile, Cade researches the deaths that took place at Beatrice High School, where he reads an article that suggests invoking Charlie Grimille’s name summons the hangman character he was supposed to play in The Gallows, which leads to the arrest of Pfeifer Ross, the crazed daughter of Charlie Grimille, and her mother.

[3][4] After filming and post-production was completed, a special early screening took place at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California in August 2017, for fans aged 13–25.

[7] Justin Lowe from The Hollywood Reporter offered the film similar criticism, writing, "Lofing and Cluff’s script blends horror and thriller elements without ever settling on a clear genre choice.

The film’s surprising final twist only serves to emphasize its narrative incoherence, precipitated by insufficient backstory and inadequate character development.
