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

David Keith and Mel Harris star in this thriller set in the halls of a troubled high school. At Rogers High School, someone--or something--is plaguing the students, all of whom happen to be bullies or jocks, and all of whom scream the name of the dead kid who hung himself from the school rafters after being made fun of. It's up to Nate and Sarah Springfield, agents for the top-secret Veritas Project, working undercover in the school, to risk their lives in order to free the community from the dreaded curse. Directed by Rafal Zielinski, HANGMAN'S CURSE is based on the popular novel by Frank Peretti. [More]

Reviews for Hangman's Curse
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.
Unless you suspend all rationality, The Hangman’s Curse makes little sense
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.
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.
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.
