Comments: So I was a fan of Ryan Nicholson's Gutterballs enough that I anticipated his new film, Hanger (despite the negative reviews). What his films lack in quality is usually made up in complete over-the-top ridiculousness. However, two things ruined my experience watching Hanger: the non-anomorphic transfer and awful picture quality, and the fact that the film's just a complete piece of shit. Hanger seriously feels like something Troma would have produced in the '80s. Is this what Nicholson was going for? Sure, the abortion-with-a-hanger scene is about as explicit as possible (and let's not forget about the dude fucking another dude's colostomy bag hole), but those parts, along with all the other so-called "shocking" scenes, are completely laughable (provided you have a strong stomach). While I could have should have watched something so much better, movies like this make me proud to be an American. Despite the low rating, it's probably worth at least a watch if you like the envelope pushed.
