Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Michael_Elliott Hanger (2009) * (out of 4) Hardcore gore about a pimp who discovers that his prostitute is pregnant and when she refuses to have an abortion he decides to take care of the matter himself. In graphic detail, he sticks a hanger up her and pulls the baby out only to throw it in a dumpster. Once there, a homeless man pulls it out, raises it for the next eighteen years and now the deformed adult goes out for revenge. Granted, this film wasn't trying to win an Oscar and it wasn't meant to be some sort of art-house masterpiece but I still couldn't enjoy the film very much. HANGER is a very disgusting film that is so vile that most people would be outraged just by hearing what's in the movie let alone actually being forced to watch it. The film is about as extreme as you can get and is certainly a throwback to a few films from the 1970s, which featured graphic gore, violence and at times porn. This film here features some pretty graphic, in-your-face material and this includes the opening where we see a hanger going into a woman and then (a fake woman used here) the baby being ripped out. If that sort of thing sounds like something that would gross you out then it's best you stay clear because it only gets worse from here. Is HANGER a good movie? Not even close. However, I must admit that if you're into this type of thing then I'm sure you're going to enjoy how depraved, shocking and vile it is. I mean, there's non-stop nudity, an incredibly bizarre rape sequence and pretty much all sorts of violence from head-crushing to the abortion and a few more rapes as well. I will gladly admit that this film went way too far but it did have a certain atmosphere that no one could deny. Director Ryan Nicholson certainly isn't going to win any awards for the picture but he at least knows how to build up at atmosphere and it's clear he's not afraid to cross the line. The biggest problem for those willing to sit through the gross moments is that the film moves way too slowly and is way too boring to really work.

ultra_tippergore 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

BA_Harrison Say what you like about indie director Ryan Nicholson, but the man is fearless when it comes to depicting on-screen depravity: there is nothing that he isn't afraid to show in the name of 'entertainment' (and if there is, then I'm not even sure if I want to see it). Since his low budget debut short Torched seared itself into the minds of extreme horror fans with scenes of OTT gore and eye-watering genital mutilation, the man has assaulted our senses with his full-length torture-fest Live Feed and the 80s-flavoured, ten pin bowling themed rape-revenge/slasher Gutterballs.Now the director plunges even further into the depths of perversion and filth with Hanger, a sure contender for the title of 'most offensive trash movie ever', topping even the excesses of Troma's Terror Firmer and cult melt movie Street Trash. I guess whether you see that as a recommendation or not depends entirely on your particular taste in trash.Hanger certainly starts as it means to go on, with a gut-wrenching scene featuring the forced abortion of a baby via coat-hanger, performed on soon-to-be-dead whore Rose (Debbie Rochon) by her sadistic pimp Leroy (Ronald Patrick Thompson). Unflinchingly captured in extreme close up, the bloody foetus being ripped prematurely from the womb leaves no doubts about Nicholson's intentions: to push the boundaries of taste as far as possible. But this is only the beginning...Eighteen years after being saved from a dumpster by a vagrant, Rose's hideously disfigured son, 'Hanger' (Nathan Dashwood), is taken to a waste disposal plant, where he has been secured a job by one of his mother's regular 'johns' (Dan Ellis). Here Hanger meets ugly, sex mad, tampon-sniffing, Chinese co-worker Russell (a memorably quirky and hilarious performance by Wade Gibb), who quickly becomes his best pal. Also working at the plant are the less-than-friendly gay rapist Phil (who cooks up a GHB topped pizza in order to roger Russell in the ass and Hanger in his stoma!), and Nicole (Candice Lewald), the incredibly hot office worker who likes nothing more than the odd-spot of impromptu masturbation (taking the film firmly into porn territory). As our hideously scarred hero becomes accustomed to his new life, The John (who turns out to be Hanger's dad) plans revenge on Leroy and his skanky ho accomplices, a job which requires him to enlist the help of his son.Nicholson's most bizarre movie to date, Hanger doesn't seem to have fared too well with fans of his previous work, and as I write, not one of the 7 IMDb comments have rated it higher than a 3/10. I can understand some of the backlash—the film is a departure in style for Nicholson, the flow of the narrative is kinda awkward, the absurd humour and extreme violence seems incongruous at times, and the ending is perhaps a little too abrupt—but despite these drawbacks, I still found Hanger to be a worthwhile experience. Maybe it's the fact that I respect Nicholson's uncompromising, no-holds-barred approach; perhaps it's because, despite being so unashamedly stupid at times, the film still manages to shock when it matters; or maybe it could be that I'm just a bit wrong in the head: whatever the reason, I found this to be a satisfyingly silly and sick flick that succeeds in making the viewer feel dirty for having watched (always a 'positive' in my eyes), and one which I can see developing something of a cult following over time.I'm going to buck the trend and rate Hanger an unprecedented 6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

ElijahCSkuggs A clothes-hanger abortion survivor? Whoa! Who's turned into a blood-thirsty freak? Whoa mama! Graphic nudity? Mama mia! It's directed by Ryan Nicholson? Oh...hmmm...I guess I'll check it out.I've gotta admit, even though this flick seems to have all the ingredients to sound like a pretty sweet and f'ed up flick, it's almost a chore to watch. Scratch that. It is a chore to watch. My biggest issue was how the story played out. The pacing was horrendous. Mix that with a cast of entirely unlikeable characters and bingo, a chore. And why are the characters unlikeable? Well, you can blame that on the amateur acting, and subpar writing. Just like Ryan's past movies he seems to not have a problem with giving his actors full reign of their characters. And when you have actors who aren't so hot at acting, it more than likely ends up being like this.A thought that popped in my head a few times while watching this was how close it came to becoming a porno. And actually how it even felt like a porn flick at times. Ryan, you add some penetration to these films, and you'll instantly become the best horror porn director ever. Or at least the best working at the moment. Maybe think about it, eh?There aren't many film-makers out there that are as carefree and in love with the horror genre as Mr. Nicholson, and that is the sole reason I keep seeing his movies. I hope instead of sticking to human horror he tackles something a bit more 'traditional', but leaving his trademark sickness to it. A creature feature or a big foot movie, but with the works.Hanger was a gross, sleazy, dirty flick that should have been a crazy fun time, but ended up being boring, unlikeable, and felt like it tried much too hard to be funny and shocking. The handful of disgusting scenes and graphic nudity can only go so far.p.s. Edward Lee's Bighead just called you a copycat.
