The Hangman

Director: Tim Sagl
When two sisters play a game of hangman late at night, they unwittingly call down evil upon themselves. What if 'hangman' starts leading its own life? Tribute to 1980s horror classics.
After Nancy has played a game of hangman with her sister Sarah, her walkman suddenly starts acting up while outside they see a real gallows, with a mysterious figure dangling from it a little later. When this character next appears inside, Nancy has to protect her sister against the malicious intruder. But how can you win a game you have already lost? It is no coincidence that the movie looks as if it was shot at least thirty years ago: 1980s horror was the source of inspiration and the atmosphere of this era is evoked affectionately and in great detail.
