Ryan Nicholson’s last feature, Gutterballs, was a gritty 80’s throwback revenge film. Many films have tried to use this as a selling point, but Gutterballs was the first that really felt authentic, almost feeling like it was a movie recovered from the era. It was brutal and harsh in terms of gore, sex, and language. Centering on a rape and some pretty slimy and cruel characters gave an uncomfortable feel to it, at least at the beginning. While I still think Gutterballs is the superior film, Hanger is notable in that it is an even more drastic, vile, and disturbing. It almost goes too far with this though to the point where it seems like it is outside of real terms though. The characters aren’t all that  likeable, but the creative and gruesome gore, that has become a staple of Nicholson’s filmmaking is satisfying all the same. (more…)
