Best movie of this year hands down!

What a beautiful movie!

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I love extreme horror. I've never seen anything in horror cinema that's offended me and it's doubtful I ever will. As long as it's not tagged on animal cruelty like in Seed, or Cannibal Holocaust etc I'm pretty much untouchable when it comes to whats put on the screen. The baby scene in Human Centipede 2, the son scene in A Serbian Film (and the newborn scene), the bath scene in the August Underground movie etc. These are some sights many found hard to take, but I was OK with them, which brings me to Hanger.This is probably the trashiest pile of garbage I've ever seen put to celluloid, and by saying that it's absolutely no recommendation whatsoever. The director here apparently likes to declare his love for horror cinema now and again but sadly he hasn't a clue how to produce it, instead thinking that stringing together a bunch of (hopefully to him) offensive shots will pass as some kind of great horror art. This really is not the case. I'm not going to list the things that take place in Hanger, but I wasn't offended, rather I found the entire piece of excrement irritating to the extreme. It looks as if a bunch of drunk teenage boys threw it together while sniggering at what they were doing, only thing being, a bunch of drunk teenage boys wouldn't have been so juvenile. Hanger exists as some worthless attempt at being as shocking as possible, but given that the director has attempted it with no class whatsoever he miserably fails. The characters in Hanger scream and shout their lines at one another while most wear some prosthetic make up (to hide their association with this stinker maybe) and it's (almost) obvious a lot of it was aimed at being funny. Rubber penises, full frontal soft porn, and some pretty bad special effects just aren't funny at all though, and I'm guessing by now my review is reading like some disgruntled Hollywood blockbuster lovers who stumbled upon the wrong type of movie and became appalled by what he saw. This couldn't be further from the truth however. I found Subconscious Cruelty as a movie enthralling, and I'm particularly mentioning this film as it's said the director of that set out to shock but (ironically) failed for a totally different reason. The second act of SC (what many consider the most shocking part) stands as brutal, dark, and perverse piece of cinema which I couldn't tear myself away from. I will watch it again, whereas this sad waste of film will never enter my eyes a second time. Ever.Don't be fooled, offensive is not what makes good horror by any stretch of the imagination, but placing something shocking within a good storyline or piece of dialogue can leave a viewer dumbstruck. It's evident Ryan Nicolson hasn't a clue what that means. Yes he's directed some wishy washy shows for TV which really doesn't count for much, and I found his movie Torched just about sufferable, but as for Hanger, it's sad, irritating, childish, and pathetic. Grow up Mr Nicolson.

This is one of those movies that almost shouldn't exist. It's so disgusting and vile that's certainly a scene that's going to offend or sicken every viewer. This movie takes almost every taboo and plays it to it's most extreme, never taking the camera away for a second.The movie is about a prostitute who becomes pregnant, and starts losing clients. Her pimp becomes enraged that she isn't making him money and performs an impromptu abortion with a coat-hanger. She dies, but the child does not. He is raised by a homeless man until he is 18, when his father picks him up, and lets him stay with a retarded Asian named Russell. He goes to work at a scraping company with Russell, occasionally killing off anyone who bothers or insults him. This includes crushing a hookers head open when she screams at his face, a Jehovah Witness who intrudes into their apartment, and Phil, a man who drugs and rapes both Hanger and Russell (the movie does not cover much up). During this, Hanger's father is being tortured by Leroy (the pimp). Leroy believes he has killed him and dumps his body, but he isn't dead. Leroy sets up a trap and kills Russell, when Hanger attacks him, but Hanger's father returns with guns and equipment and they two shoot and kill each other. And that's the end.Like Gutterballs, this movie is very gory and the special effects are top notch. It is filled with nasty visuals, shocking imagery, coarse language, nudity... It has it all. This movie will offend pretty much every viewer, but as long as you have a sense of humor, it won't affect you. There's a lot in this movie that would discourage potential viewers, but they are not the audience for this movie. Ryan Nicholson knows his audience and makes movies for them; they're exploitative, schlocky, violent, everything campy B horror/schlock should be. Also, look out for Lloyd Kaufman's appearance in this movie, it's crazy.

"Hanger" is NOT a good movie. It is, in fact, repulsive and low budget and I dare recommend this but for a select few. There are problems galore. The acting is pretty substandard, the cinematography is less then stellar, and the plot is pretty thin. There are HUGE holes in this bad boy... Yet, it does have it's charm. There is a large does of humor to be found, alongside some grotesque imagery and a brave, if not poorly conceived, script. This is a splatter revenge flick with gumption and originality though it's window dressing is of the hand me down variety. There is a liberal amount of sexuality that serves little purpose beyond getting pre- pubescent teenage boys to watch it...so it has it's desperation as well. If your looking to round out your low budget, monster/revenge movie list then by all means look into it with a healthy amount of skepticism. If your looking for the next cult classic...there MIGHT be enough to give it credence. However if your looking for a movie to sustain the weight of it's shocking plot description you will be disappointed. It's a movie that 2 out of 10 will think was "alright".

Some people will hate on this movie but I really enjoyed it's over indulgent nature. It was a piece of B movie garbage that I would watch again and again.Now don't get me wrong here, if you're looking for a truly great movie, just forget about even looking at this film. It's only for those folks who love super trashy, B grade, ultra violent and sick movies. Chalk full of sex, violence, gore and for some reason, every man in this movie has a messed up face (which really grew on me).Even the good guys in this film are completely vile, so you can only imagine how disgusting the bad guys are.I vote a 9/10, simply for the fact I love the over the top dialog, grotesque characters, violence and gratuitous sex.
