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 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.

For the past few years, Ryan Nicholson has been one of the shining examples of modern exploitation cinema with such ultra-violent flicks as 'Live Feed' and 'Gutterballs.' Nicholson returns to this sector of modern with 'Hanger.' In 'Hanger,' the survivor of a botched abortion (the fetus, not the mother) rises from his depraved roots to seek vengeance on all those responsible for his near-death. Prostitutes, drug dealers, and pimps. . . no one is safe from Hanger.It takes a very specific mindset to not only enjoy films like those of Ryan Nicholson, but even to stomach them. They are often filled with such perverted & grotesque subject matter that the casual film-goer will be, without a doubt, unable to even sit through them. 'Hanger' is as good an example of this as any. Abortion, rape, murder, and drug use are about as controversial as subjects can get for a film. . . and they're all brought to the forefront without a second thought in this film. To ease up the difficulty of some of these ideas, there is some outward humour, like B-movie legend Lloyd Kaufman (co-founder of Troma Films) as Melvina the Tranny. This definitely is not enough, though, to make this an easy watch. Even some of the most hardcore horror fans may have to look away at some scenes.Even with the grotesque and depraved nature of the film, it does not feature the spark it requires to make it an overly worthwhile watch. Unlike Nicholson's previous films, it is, simply. . . not a fun time. And, sure, it's not meant to be 'fun' in the way something like 'Ghostbusters' or 'Shaun of the Dead' is fun. . . but, I was expecting something entertaining at least like his last film 'Gutterballs.' Even with all the disgusting gore, vicious violence, crazy characters, and nonstop nudity, the film really was a pretty tedious task to sit through. The pacing was awkward and uneven, the characters were all horribly unlikable, and the story wasn't nearly as interesting as it should have been with such subject material. The inclusion of Debbie Rochon, a queen of B-horror, was a nice benefit, however.Even with all the film's problems, respect should still be paid to Ryan Nicholson for pushing the limits with his films. It's something that is not done enough, especially with all the glossed-out PG-13 abominations of classic cinema we've been receiving throughout the past few years. For that reason, Nicholson needs to keep doing what he's doing. . . just, hopefully, better from this point on.Final Verdict: 3.5/10.-AP3-

I don't know how many Debbie Rochon movies I have seen, but there is always room for another one.This is the latest edition in Troma's catalog, and it even features Lloyd Kaufman.Most will be grossed out in the first 10 minutes after witnessing an abortion by coat-hanger. The baby lives and we join him when he is grown (Nathan Dashwood). Otherwise the movie would be over, as he seeks out the pimp who killed his mom (Rochon).This movie has all the trash you can imagine: cannibalism, freaks, smashed heads, blood, gore, and things too disgusting to mention.
