alspeaketh This movie is seriously one of a kind. It is offensive and definitely not the kind of movie to put on for a laugh here and there. When you're watching it you almost have a feeling you're in the 80s or something, the effects were not so bad, maybe in part that it was filmed in the fashion that it was. I've got to tell you when you watch this there are some images that you will never rid your mind of thereafter. So if you're that type of person that's into movies that make you go feel your fabric of reality and sanity are gradually diminishing, give it a go! Don't watch it with your Mother.

lovecraft231 In today's realm of horror films, one director who I'm not a particularly big fan of is Ryan Nicholson. A part of the newer generation so to speak, he's an effects man (whose worked on the infamous "August Underground" series) turned director whose movies seem to take a juvenile approach to shocking and offending people with nasty gore and all kinds of depraved behavior. In all honesty, I'm making his efforts sound much better than they actually are, when in reality, they are very difficult to watch, and not in the "this is disturbing" way. I mean in the "why the hell am I wasting my time on this bulls#!t?" way. Case in point: "Hanger", which may be his worst effort at trying to offend viewers yet.The film starts with a pregnant prostitute named Rose (Debbie Rochon), who becomes a hooker (remember, that's what they become when they are dead-or at least the show "Archer" says so) and has said fetus aborted via wire hanger. Well, said fetus actually survived, and years later, is a has grown up as "Hanger" (Nathan Dashwood.) He's also a bloodthirsty maniac out for revenge, and a man named "The John" (Dan Ellis) believes he's the killer mutant's dad.That's the plot to "Hanger" in a nutshell. In case you're thinking "that's it?", then you are not alone. In actuality, the movie is essentially an excuse for Nicholson and his cast to get away with all kinds of gross and all around perverse behavior, which would be fine if it weren't akin to a kid putting on a geek show to shock and offend us. Look, I'm all for shocking movies, but this tries way too hard to be shocking and all around disgusting, and it's clear that's all it has going for it. I know Nicholson is making something for a niche audience, but me? I don't have time for a movie that has things like an grotesque, racist Asian stereotype, tampon fetishes, graphic masturbation, and plenty of rape, mud and nastiness and nothing else. If trying to gross out and offend audiences in an attempt to be subversive is all you have, then get out of here, because I want nothing to do with you.It also doesn't help that nobody here-not even genre vet Debbie Rochon-does a good job here. The whole cast basically either mails in their performance, or goes over the top to the point of sheer banality. I know, these are all supposed to be unlikable characters, but come on, at least give us some decent performance amidst all the filth. Also, there's a Lloyd Kaufman cameo. Look Lloyd: I love ya man. I love what you've done for independent cinema, and I know that you are always willing to appear in someone's movie. That out of the way, come on man, can't you at least say "no" to appearing in a movie once in your life?Speaking of which, "no" is what this movie gets. There is no reason to see this piece of s#!t. I'm sorry, but all the filth and ugly behavior in the world does not make for an entertaining movie. In fact, it makes for a tedious and god-awful one. Seriously, this movie can go to hell.

Gothzilla Well, it certainly is a rare day when a movie manages to gross me out, a very rare day indeed. This is only logical, however, as Hanger is a very rare kind of movie...Hanger is exploitation in its PUREST form. Its tasteless, its disgusting, its disturbing, its cheesy, its mindless, its stupid, and, quite frankly.... its perfect.It takes a truly soulless person to not be able to see the beauty in pure, unadulterated filth such as this.I found the tacky prosthetics, over-the-top characters, ridiculous story, and low budget sets give this film a very nice, vintage charm. In fact, the over-the-top, horrendously stereotypical characters are probably my favorite part.This was intended to emulate the REAL exploitation films of a bygone era, and it does so flawlessly, and that's the problem most people have with it. They forget that they didn't like those films, and expect to like this one.Don't get me wrong, this film is disgusting. I said before that this film had its moments that I couldn't stand. In fact, Russel's used tampon fetish creeped me out so much, that I found myself doodling a poster for a (fictional) film in the same genre (Zombie Lesbians from Outer Space Part 5 in 3-D), whenever Russel was on screen.Also, its probably just because I'm gay, but I really hate that chick with the glasses who seems to be masturbating in every single scene she's in. First, I hate how the film keeps cutting back to her rubbing herself with a pen or something whenever there's a torture scene going on and its just starting to get good. Second, they waste about 20 minutes of my life panning the camera up and down her nude body, and she doesn't even die until the last 30 seconds of the film, AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO DIE ON-SCREEN.Though, its implied that Hanger bites her nipples off and thoroughly disembowels her, searching for a fetus that isn't there, and just the thought of that makes me happy. What a useless character.All that said, its strange, disturbing, and at times painful to watch, but sit through it, you'll look back and you'll like it a lot more once its over.

atinder This movie start of so bad, the acting is so bad. plot is sickThe movie start off from other horror movie, 3 prostitute are watching. one of there look like 62 and other one as got burnt mouth or something and Rose the main one who is pregnant. Then we see Leroy who is fed up with her not bringing in any money from her pregnancy.Next scene we she her with someone else and Leroy attacks her after he catch hers with the that other man, who had just dump her and he get rid of the baby with a hanger This movie is sick and twisted and not in good away, i do not want to see man trying to step a bloody pregnant lady,stomach even if see a prostitute (That was in the first seven minutes of movie) Then movie get even worse 18 Years later for some reason the child is now some kind of monster who goes after prostitute and kills them ? I could not take anymore of this rubbish so I turned it off 1/10 .
