The Hangman

Closer Strong film that finishes even stronger
2024 · Horror, Thriller · Bruce Wemple

The Hangman is already winning — and it gets better as the stakes rise. At 65% across 88 head-to-head matchups, the overall record is strong. The finals record is even stronger. A thriller unburdened by the expectations that weigh down better-known titles. It benefits from the element of surprise — voters who encounter it without preconceptions often give it a closer look than the bracket position would suggest. It sits in the top 10% of 2020s films. At 0.5s average, voters don't deliberate — this is an instant reaction, not a considered choice.

Synopsis

Where it thrives

58%, 65%, 82%. The Hangman doesn't just survive deep bracket runs — it improves through them, arriving at the final in better form than it started.

The 92% rate against The Accountant² is among the most lopsided in The Hangman's history. The Ritual at 83% is another comfortable win.
