mgmprofits2 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.

yaktheripper "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".

Tromafreak Debbie Rochon!! Alright, now that I've got your attention, I'm gonna tell you about a modern Exploitation film from 2009 in which the legendary actress lowers herself enough into making what turns out to be a glorified cameo that I really had high hopes for. A film which I kinda consider a disappointment. Hanger. A film which obviously accomplishes everything it's trying to do, yet, i can't help but see it as a total drag. Hanger just ain't much fun. Is there really anything else that needs to be said about it? Lloyd Kaufman makes a brief appearance. That's pretty cool. Right? Anyway. Hanger begins 18 years ago, with a pregnant prostitute named Rose (Rochon), who is given a homemade, unwanted abortion by her pimp. That's right, with a hanger. Poor Rose dies, and the fetus is thrown into a dumpster. The end, right? Nope. The little fella, who would later earn the nickname 'hanger', would not only survive, but would emerge from the garbage. Fastforward 18 years, and the deformed Hanger is very unstable, and very, very capable of murder. As timid as the little fella may seem, all he really wants is gory revenge. Despite this underachievement of Exploitation, these guys at Plotdigger Films have a lot going for them. I mean, Gutterballs, as overrated as it might have been, is actually pretty good. But Hanger could have used a little more thought and development, which could have led to, I don't know, maybe a little comedy relief, just to take the edge off the complete and utter ferociousness of it all. You might as well just watch Slaughtered Vomit Dolls. If these guys fancy themselves as a Canadian Troma, they've got a ways to go. I'm no expert, but if I was to make a movie, and I was fortunate enough to end up with Debbie Rochon, I might try and work around killing off the gorgeous one before the story even gets started. But like I said, I'm no expert, and ya know what? Neither is Ryan Nicholson. Hanger ain't a terrible movie compared to a lot I've seen, but then again, it is pretty terrible compared to others I've seen. If you just don't care, and you have low standards for Exploitation, I guess it wouldn't hurt. 6/10

rwagn Sure it has no budget. Sure it was shot on video. Sure the actors are community theater stock. Sure the props were all obtained at the local porn outlet. Sure the story makes little sense. Sure the effects are robust and disgusting and more than a little amateurish. Sure the whole thing reeks of high-school level obnoxiousness. Sure it's bloody and disgusting. Sure it's funny. Sure didn't take itself too seriously. Sure it's like a train wreck that you can't turn away from. Sure most people are going to hate this movie. Sure they are correct. But I sure did like it. I can't wait to see his prior movie "Gutterballs". I haven't laughed and been repulsed like this since I saw "Redneck Zombies". I love this kind of gorilla film-making-it's cheap and often a labor of love. The director comments that the film took 10 days to shoot and he considers it an epic! You have to love that. This is not "Citizen Kane" but I would take this over the next "Halloween", "Friday the 13th" or "Nightmare on Elm Street" remake any day.
