Anton Bitel Little White Lies while Hangman closes like a trap on the Millers, it also offers a diffuse portrait of a man who covets a kind of love and familiarity which will always exclude and elude him.

Audience Member This is a disturbingly bad TV movie, a psychological thriller about detective chasing a serial killer who post hangman questions for the police to solve before killing the victims. Nice concept but poorly executed. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
