Storia
In 'Hangman', Detective Roos investigates a series of murders where victims are killed by hanging in a manner that mimics the game Hangman. The murders seem connected to an online version of the game, with words linked to the crimes.

As the detective delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a motive rooted in vengeance against those who have wronged the killer.
Riassunto
'Hangman' is a suspenseful thriller directed by Ken Girotti and released as a TV movie in 2001. The film centers around Detective Roos (played by Louis Gossett Jr.) who pursues a serial killer using an online game of Hangman to orchestrate brutal hanging murders. The story explores themes of vengeance and the dark side of human psychology, drawing audiences into a cat-and-mouse chase between the detective and the enigmatic Grace Mitchell (Madchen Amick). While the plot is primarily focused on the investigation and its connections to the game, the context of the film being a TV movie might suggest it was intended for a more mainstream audience.
