Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
joshua-halstead excellent!!!!!!!! this is the best Christian film there is. it is full of action, violence and terror. however it is completely clean. the film takes place in a high school. there's a legend called hangmans curse. the legend is that a boy that hated life killed himself and his ghost haunts that high school looking to kill each and every person who made life miserable. this film is based off the Frank Peretti Christian horror novel. it dosen't follow the book very well however it is like there own take on the story. this film cant do to bad of justice to the book because author Frank Peretti stared in the film. the film is a great Christian film to show to a teenage youth group. this is definitely fox faith's best film.
corcra_lilac I first saw this movie on TV and now I own the DVD. Its a good family film and yes it is a Christian movie. The story plot (a ghost is haunting a school and hurting bullies) is acceptable for an afternoon where there is nothing to watch. This is a kind of movie that has more Jack-in-the-box feel (you know whats coming but I did jump a few times). And I skipped over quite a few clues to who the ghost really is, for some are actually really subtle. The acting is okay (don't worry you won't be ripping your hair out). I recommend renting, borrowing, or wait to October for it to be on TV again before buying this movie.Like I said, I own this movie. I like it.
CrackerJack30 Can you imagine this: the „Spy kids" (and their parents) try to solve the mystery of a strange curse while working undercover in the world of "High School Musical"? Sounds like a great parody, but sadly, this isn't one. "Hangman's Curse" takes itself serious, and this is a big, big, HUGE mistake!When the film starts, you didn't notice anything unusual for a typical B-Horror-movie. We learn that a secret group exists, called the "Veritas" project, we see a somber student hang himself (lets say we can imagine it, luckily they don't show the poor guys death) and then the local football-players from his High school seems to be cursed by the mysterious hangman. Nothing new so far, but as a fan of B-Movies I was interested and keep on watching.Then we meet the agents of the Veritas project. Actually, they hunt drug dealers undercover. Hm. A bit confusing to me: Why should a paranormal organization hunt simple drug dealers (unless they are Vampires or Ghosts…)? I forgot that point as I realized, that these agents are – a family! Mom, Dad, and two Teenager (sister+brother) are the Veritas Project. While I tried to realize this, they get their next assignment: Working undercover in a High School. And now, the director really lost it. Instead of horror action we dive into the world of a typical American High School with every cliché you can think of! We have all the groups there. The Football Players. The Gothics. The Nerds.I still can't believe that any producer paid money to make such a ridiculous (but completely unfunny!) movie! Why does actors like David Keith ("Firestarter") and Tom Wright ("Marked for Death" , "Martial Law") waste their talent in such a crap? Well, this movie is nonetheless an important film for me. Cause the next time someone ask me "What is the worst horror movie you ever saw?" I can say: "Hangman's Curse!"
schriftstellerin This movie was completely off. It isn't even the Christian propaganda element that others have commented on. Well, maybe it is in part. The film seems to preach "if you are different, you must assimilate and then you will be tolerated." I don't really think that is what needs to be taught. Diversity is wonderous. All the geeks, jocks and preps should be allowed to be who they are and learn how to get along.The emotional depth of the characters was unrealistic and overblown stereotypical. The geeks were really the worst stereotyping. The teenagers didn't seem to be dealing with any real crisis except the point of the movie. The acting did not even begin to cover the emotion that real teenagers have.And finally, what is up with the kids working for the cops???? NO WHERE would this be possible. Kids being put in harm's way? It was too laughable.Luckily I bought this in a $2.99 bin. Perhaps someone will give me $.50 in my garage sale.
