I found this movie surprisingly unnerving, the concept is very real, especially when you feel completely at ease in your own home and I can imagine in a very large home it would be easy for someone to be there and you not notice.This movie made me feel genuinely anxious and quite transfixed to what was happening. It is certainly not overly predictable which I liked. The lack of information about the 'bad man' was a little frustrating but purposely so I'm sure. It certainly gets you thinking, who is he? why is he doing this? why isn't he in the news? etc There are some very cringe-worthy moments, some very distressing moments and some pretty sick moments. The crescendo builds at a very good pace and the ending is fitting.As a horror fan who watched any rating from one star up I always watch with an open mind. Give this one a go, you might enjoy it as much as I did.

I'll have to admit,Hangman have a rather interesting and provoking premise. But,that's as far as what you can get from this movie. All you will get is a "thriller" movie that fails as a thriller,lacks in thrills,lacks of character,Plot-less and empty storyline,cringe worthy dialogue,and an Editing so bad,it feels like you're watching a high school student's film project. I know that this movie is a low- budget indie movie,but this movie is just pitiful.and the main plot of the story itself lacks in explanations,and it will leave you scratching your head on what's the point of the story,and what's going on in this movie.It has a sloppy visual editing,and a sound editing so bad,that in some unnecessary scenes,there's a sound that will blow your eardrums without any apparent reason. It also has a soundtrack that really didn't help,or maybe ruin a scene that's supposed to be tense.If you are looking for a full of tense,groundbreaking,jittery independent horror flick,then this movie is not for you.Period.

Terrible movie! No character arcs, no plot points. The villain is terrible and evil for unknown reasons. The main characters are completely helpless, as always. Acting is fine, but extremely cliché film. The ending of these movies is ALWAYS exactly the same. Basically the exact same movie as 388 Arletta Avenue, which was released in 2012. Same lame ending too! I definitely do not recommend Hangman! There are much better films to choose from. if you are looking for a good recent thriller or horror film, you might want to check out It Follows, The Guest, Kristy, Secret in Their Eyes, Gone Girl, The Loft, Open Windows, Before I Go to Sleep, The Visit, The Gift, Side Effects, Stoker, Prisoners, Passion, The Conjuring, Sinister, or Insidious.

Definitely a top contender for worst movies I've willingly watched. Such a mundane, slow-paced, banal movie with a predictable ending. I blame myself for going into this blind, and not watching a trailer or reading the reviews here. I read the synopsis and it sounded like a movie to kill some time. And, hey, a couple of well known actors were in it like Jeremy Sisto & Amy Smart (for the record, Smart has less than 5 minutes screen time.)For your viewing pleasure (if you're as crazy as I am to watch this in the first place) watch the first 5 minutes then skip and watch the last 10 minutes. You'll skip watching the boring lives and irrelevant segments of a typical nondescript family. It'll be like watching a mediocre, fan-made YouTube thriller skit.SPOILERS AHEAD:In short, this is the full story: Psycho killer has an infatuation with blonde mothers. Infiltrates families' lives while they're away travelling. Watches them for days upon days, not doing anything except eating their food and pleasuring himself while the couple have sex. Abruptly ends up hanging the husband and killing the wife after coercing her to admit she "loves him". Moves on to new family. Fin.Low budget, found footage film. Okay-ish acting. Bad script and plot. No character development. No tension or suspense. Bad movie. Bad!
