Hanger (2009)

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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.

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

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 .
