Watch Hangman For Free

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

HANGMAN is a low budget found footage horror inspired by the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY series. The most impressive thing about it is that it masquerades, successfully, as an American film, even though according to the IMDb it was made in the UK. The story sees a vacationing family returning home, only to discover that a burglar has trashed the place. Somehow, they don't realise that he's set up covert cameras throughout the property, so that he can spy and stalk them constantly. This film's pretty much indifferent, lacking the kind of tension I'd expect from the premise despite the director's best efforts, and with boring performances from the cast members. There's the occasional shock scene which works well but overall this is both routine and lacklustre.

A movie about a deranged psycho hiding in the family loft - sounds familiar. Just watch Crawlspace (1986), or even the 2013 remake, instead. This employs found footage style camera work, so zero points for originality. The constant zooming in and out, plus camera shakiness, meant that I was in danger of getting a headache. Apart from the brief but violent opening scene nothing horrific actually happens until over an hour. Perhaps the intention was to build tension slowly but fails miserably as this film is just boring as hell. Nothing to recommend here.

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 am super surprised to see all the terrible reviews for this one because I really enjoyed watching it. Sure, it's not the most creepy "found footage" movie out there but the acting was great and the plot line disturbing. I would definitely recommend this one to fellow viewers.
