An investigative team probes mysterious events at a high school.

Matt Weitz

Dallas Morning News

Glacial pacing and a series of highly unlikely plot contrivances manage to obscure positive attributes and leave you feeling like you've just seen a rather mediocre TV movie-of- the-week.

Rated: C-

We definitely could use more wholesome teenage flicks, but Hangman's Curse is just plain hokum -- not so much for the values it tries to convey, but the slipshod way it conveys them.

Rated: .5/4

... [these] are Christian filmmakers stooping to use the same manipulative storytelling tactics that anti-Christian filmmakers often use to express their own bias.

Rated: D

The film does keep viewers' attention, and has some shining scenes. But it might also leave readers wondering how a pretty good book ended up as a not-so-great movie.

Rated: 2/4

Unless you suspend all rationality, The Hangman's Curse makes little sense

One Guy's Opinion

The story makes little sense, while offering few surprises and even fewer scares...it might be a cinematic act of faith for some, but simply as a movie it's a travesty.

Rated: F

I used to watch this movie on the regular and never get tired of it and only for the fact i was a boy crazy obsessed teenager lol. I thought one of the actors was cute, but anyways that's besides the point. I really think this movie lacked realitistic values, but if you want a fun film that's not based on reality and want a good laugh, you must watch this one, but know going in don't expect anything amazing.

The film runs like mystery and you are kept in suspense of "whodunit" until the end!

Pretty lame, nonsensical, and poorly made. Another movie genre Christians failed at.

This feels like a slightly Christian episode of 'Goosebumps'. Production values and cast are fine, overall a strictly average affair. Surprisingly the author has a sizable role and is good!

I'm SUPER afraid of spiders!!! In that aspect...this movie scared the crap out of me. Other than that...it was pretty dumb. I watched it years ago.

I love this movie! It's so intriguing and griping and keeps you on the edge of your seat! It's a very good representation of Frank E. Peretti's book! It was very well done and acted, I love it! I'd suggest it to anyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
