Leon is taking his son Jesse on a camping trip in West Virginia. He wakes up next morning to find his son missing. He navigates a racist local population and a demonic presence killing his victims with his ropes. I am fine with a low budget Deliverance style trip in hillbilly country. That part actually works at a low budget level. The lead is a functional average looking dad. The movie struggles when it tries to do high intensity supernatural visuals. They don't have the budget or the camera skills to do it right. It looks cheap and not even in a fun camp way. One understands the limitations.

Just had the displeasure of watching this poor effort. It thinks and tries to be a horror but its just a clichéd,poorly written thrown together,paranormalish,slasher type thingy. Dad loses his son whilst camping after taking him on a bonding trip a few years after his wife's death. They fall out. Son goes missing. Enter the hangman,gun totting drug dealing rednecks,crazy ghostbusting priest,mysterios all seeing blind woman and every other thing they could think of to throw in there. It's a real struggle to finish and I doubt many will. It just puzzles me why people even make these films because they have no audience or surely can't be making any money from them.

Right, well the movie's cover and title was enough to make me stop and take notice of this movie. Sure, I had never heard about this movie from director Bruce Wemple, so I didn't know what I was in for. But it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen was more than sufficient to make me sit down and give it a go. Writers Bruce Wemple and LeJon Woods put together a rather weak storyline that didn't prove neither overly entertaining nor scary. So sitting through 88 minutes of this movie was a bit of a struggle. I must admit that I had hoped for a bit more, given the movie's cover. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but it should be said that while the storyline was rubbish, then the acting performances were actually fair. Not a particularly great horror movie, nor a movie that will ever grace my screen a second time, because it was boring enough sitting through it the first time. Visually then "The Hangman" didn't impress either. The movie made use of very little special effects. And as for the creature seen on the movie's cover, well don't get your hopes up, as it is hardly in the movie at all. The movie's cover was actually the best part about the entire ordeal. If you enjoy horror movies, I wouldn't recommend you to waste 88 minutes on watching this 2024 movie from director Bruce Wemple. My rating of "The Hangman" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

Browsing through movies on a weekend I came across The Hangman (2024). There's not a lot of reviews on IMDb as this hasn't been out for too long, so hopefully my review can shed some light overall. If you're familiar with the horror film Wrong Turn (2003) you will understand where this takes place, and what have we learned about W. Virginia? We never go there. So as we watch the movie, we meet Leon, a father who takes his teenage son camping for some bonding time after both suffering losses while trying to reconnect. The camping trip soon turns out to be a fight for survival when his son goes missing and Leon tries to find him, encountering a cult of people that prey on travelers. First thing to observe is the storyline. It's okay but lacks solidity to be believable. Some of the dialogue is bad as it tries to throw in some form of humor but fails, but nonetheless, it is watchable. As the film carries on, we then learn of this evil entity that the cult serves its victims, called The Hangman. The Hangman gives off a little bit of Sinister vibes but his presence comes to be when the dysfunctional locals trade souls for longevity. In some ways, the storyline makes no sense but in others ways you can see some potential, although not executed as well as it could've been. Could this have been better? Of course, but don't go into this film expecting it to be some horror movie of the year. It is far from that; it's passable. I rate this a solid 6/10 for the attempt, the cinematography was good, much better than most but the film plot needed improvement. Hold no expectation going into this film and you could enjoy its mediocre core for what it is, and what it is not. And if you need a reminder again, remember, don't go to W. Virginia.

When it comes to modest budget VOD horror flicks, Dread knows its audience. Get a few psychotic characters, plug in some red LEDs, build a fire, throw around a little karo-red blood, and everyone has a screaming good time. Dread's latest VOD release, The Hangman, fulfills all these requirements - minimally. What makes The Hangman at all watchable is the clever crime drama centering on a missing teen that easily slips in-between the pseudo-screams. While the plight of the father and son deepens the A-story, the demonic tale of the Hangman is abruptly forgotten. When the supernatural menace eventually returns, the story of the Hangman's murderous quest becomes not only confusingly circular but almost completely unnecessary. In fact, The Hangman lacks any true genre scares and possesses startling sparse on-screen violence. The eponymous villain barely lives up to his name, settling instead to casting small nooses for binding people down as if he was a not-so-friendly Appalachian neighborhood web-slinger. Hardcore horror fans might disagree. The Hangman apologetically fits within the genre and strangles out the minimally-appropriate material with its very last breath while ignoring the true horror of scary Appalachian drug dealers.
