Why The Hangman Is A Great Addition To The 2024 Horror Slate

Close

The Hangman is an exciting addition to the long list of 2024 horror movies, standing out from those entries while promising continued jumps and scares to those who want them. The central story, that of a father on a hunt to rescue his son, offers a different emotional journey from 2024 horror hits, especially in how it forces Leon to be proactive instead of simply trying to escape or survive. Leon must go on the offensive, which is especially stressful given that he will have to compete with adversaries even scarier than those shown in the clip above.

The creation of a new horror movie monster can’t be an easy task, but The Hangman offers viewers a new and scary demonic enemy to have nightmares about. The monster at the heart of the film is a demon summoned by a cult, but it’s the way it kills its victims—seemingly hanging them thanks in part to supernatural control of rope—that is sure to stick. As seen in the clip above, The Hangman will not shy away from race-related themes, and the cult and monster are sure to be an unsettling evocation of one of the darkest sides of American history.

On a more surface level, The Hangman also takes viewers out of the decrepit buildings and bustling cities of other 2024 horror entries and transports them to a camping trip from Hell. Horror movies set in nature are a staple of the genre, yet 2024 does not boast many films that fit that category. The Hangman looks as though it will make a forest feel as claustrophobic as a basement, however, and could be a lasting addition to that subgenre.

The Hangman has a limited theatrical run starting May 31. It will be available to rent or purchase on digital platforms starting June 4.
