Storyline

Death by noose. A nasty way to die if you're not dropped from a length, but instead just had the support kicked from beneath you. A series of murders like this is taking place, linked to a net-based game of 'Hangman', the words of which are linked somehow. Detective Roos (LDP) is on the case. He finds himself drawn to Grace Mitchell (Madchen Amick), who is somehow connected to all of the victims. Hangman is a story of pure vengeance, against everyone who burdened the killer's mind.

User Reviews

Entertaining and suspenseful with an unexpected ending!

This is a great film! It's just as entertaining and thrilling as a good crime/thriller should be. The actors all do a great job, and the ending is as unexpected as it gets. That doesn't necessarily mean that it is a good film in many cases, but here it clearly does! So if you're looking for a film with a lot of plot twists and an ending that will leave you wondering, this is that film!
