Hanger
Canada  2009, 90 min

Full frontal nudity, female masturbation and vaginal mutilation are just the tip of the iceberg in the latest gross-out and repulsively satisfying revenge shocker from the director of Gutterballs and Live Feed.

Looking for the most depraved movie of the Festival? The world of Hanger awaits you with its “grindhouse” influences, back-alley abortions and a blood-bathed climax so vicious that it brings new meaning to the phrase “an eye for an eye.” Aborted from his mother’s womb via a twisted wire coat-hanger and left for dead in a rat infested dumpster, “Hanger” somehow survives. Eighteen years later, he’s ready to take on the brutally vicious pimp “Leroy” who murdered his mother in the botched abortion. Carnage and mayhem ensues as the deformed young man tears his way through pimps, dealers, hookers and junkies in some of the most creative deaths seen. Writer/director Ryan Nicholson cut his special effects teeth on a multitude of genre films including Final Destination and a Scary Movie ; his latest film utilizes heavy prosthetic and practical effects to the max. When asked about making Hanger, Nicholson says, “It is beyond anything I’ve done to date in the sense of brutality dark content. It doesn’t raise the bar. It runs the bar over and picks it up, shoving it deep down your throat!” The deranged director and his cast will be in attendance for the world premiere of the film. -- Lewis Tice
