An Exercise In Nonsense
A Masterpiece!
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
And for that, I give it a perfect 10 out of 10. Not a single person here on this site gave this movie a perfect 10? I am shocked. I guess everybody missed the point. This wasn't supposed to be a "Feel Good" movie that you sit down with your wife and kids and watch. Nor was it supposed to have good acting! This is a Troma style movie....plain and simple. The acting was perfect to FIT this film. This was not supposed to be any Award winning performances here...This is supposed to be, what it is! I don't understand why so many people complain about the movie in their review. If you didn't like the movie, you didn't have to watch it!Hanger does its job perfectly. I admit the movie is kind of depressing at first, but it does draw you in. The story is good, and the events that take place in this movie, are well, I'll let you watch and decide for yourself! I had to review this one when I was that not a single person gave it a perfect 10 rating. I think it truly deserves a perfect rating, as this movie is one of a kind. Never have I seen so many offensive things take place in one movie. Before this movie, my previous favorite Troma movie was UNSPEAKABLE...but this movie surpasses that in all aspects. This is a must watch for any Gore fan, or any fan of extreme cinema. The way it is done however, is comedic, and so, don't expect to be too disturbed by this one. This wasn't meant to be a disturbing movie at all, and that is obvious by all the comedy in the film. However if you like Comedy horror spoof gore films, you should love this movie.
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.
Like Roger Ebert, I have to give some credit to a film that does what it sets out to do and has no illusions about social value or artistry. That's "Hanger" in a nutshell. Pure exploitation from start to finish. (This review refers to the uncut edition, as though a cut edition would be any better.) Perhaps one of the most striking things about the film (other than an obsession with genitalia) is the heavy use of facial appliances. There may be two male actors who are not heavily covered with facial appliances throughout the film (and I have my doubts about one of them). Female roles fare a little better, trading "money shots" for not having to wear prosthetics. The whole thing comes off like a medieval allegorical play, with all the players in masks representing their roles.Overall, not as funny or interesting as "Gutterballs." It is much more extreme than "Run, Bitch, Run," which hardly rose to the level of exploitation anyway. And it's not nearly as creepy as "deadgirl," which is in a completely different class of film-making (i.e., much superior).The best use I know of for "Hanger" is to show somebody an exploitation film that exists for no other reason than to exploit. Still, you gotta admire honesty.Not recommended for people with reasonable standards of decency or any expectations of artistry.
Live Feed was a good gory movie, Gutterballs was better, so i was very excited to view Ryan new movie, Hanger. Unfortunately, it was a let down for me. Don't know why, maybe I'm getting old. Maybe. But Hanger was very boring, i watch the Uncut version, and yes, its hardcore gore, with very good bloody fx and very good looking naked bimbos but its just boring. I hope one day to watch it again and start loving it, that can happen. The first time i watched Live Feed i didn't like it and then it became a movie that i watched easily four times if not more. 4/10 for Hanger but all my support to Ryan Nicholson for always try to deliver the goods with extreme gore
