“The Hangman” (*1/2 out of four) was forgettable horror claptrap about a troubled father (LeJon Woods) who takes his son (Mar Cellus) camping in Appalachia when he is kidnapped by the title evil character who he must confront and defeat. Title is another in assembly line of horror characters (“Candyman”, “The Bye Bye Man”, etc) and film plays like an assembly of horror movie cliches. Watch “The Hangover” instead for a movie with more scares and laughs.
