This Blumhouse Horror Sequel Has A Rare 0% On Rotten Tomatoes

gamerant.com:

There are some movies that are subjective, as some fans love the concept and characters and others don't connect. And then there are the movies that many agree just didn't live up to expectations. In the genre of horror, this happens from time to time, whether a premise is poorly executed, a remake isn't as good as the original, or the story just isn't scary.

It's rare for a movie to get a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but there is one horror film that did, and it's not a very well-loved sequel. Horror fans definitely have strong opinions about this particular film.

This Blumhouse Horror Movie Made Less than $1000 In Its Opening Weekend

The Gallows was released in 2015 and wasn't well-received. It has less than 5/10 on IMDb and 14% on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer, along with a 22% Audience Score. The sequel, Gallows Act II, came out in 2019 and has a 0% rating on the Tomatometer, which is definitely rare and not something that horror fans see every day. The movie has a 30% Audience Score. The problem? Horror fans don't think that the first movie is a good example of the found footage genre and the sequel's story doesn't have a hook to keep audiences interested. In both cases, it's hard not to wish for a more original plot and characters who have distinct traits and motivations.

In the first movie, teenagers are putting on a play at their high school, which is haunted by the ghost of Charlie Grimille (Jesse Cross), a student who died while starring in the play years earlier. In the second film, Auna Rue (Ema Horvath) wants to be an actress, and when she becomes part of a viral video, she realizes that an evil ghost is haunting her. The first film was made for only $100,000 and grossed $42,964,410, according to Box Office
