House of Hammer

I had absolutely no idea and never heard of any scandals regarding Armie Hammer or his family.

After watching this 3 hour long documentary I'm almost more confused than before watching it. There's a powerful and dark story regarding his great grandfather, grandfather and aunt. But it almost seemed that Armie Hammer himself was just a collateral damage in order to sell the documentary.

Not enough is said about him to justify a 3 hour documentary that will basically ban him for life from his job. There's an endless interview scattered around the three hours of a woman claiming to be traumatized after a relationship with Hammer, but it's all based on one night that it's not clearly explained.

There's also small bits and pieces from other two women and the lawyer of one of them, but again, they claim Hammer to be a monster but don't clearly expose the events.

I think if a three episode long documentary with Armie Hammer's broken face as a poster is going to be released for the world to see, the ethical thing to do is to clearly expose the reasons and events for the allegations, not just bits and pieces here and there and half told stories.

At the end I kind of felt more sympathy for him than before watching it.

Dang, that Armie Hammer is so good looking - and not a bad actor - what a shame. The documentary is very good, interesting, and explains a few things regarding the headlines that cancelled Armie. In a nutshell, it's essentially Sodom and Gomorrah meets the Mafia. The photos of Armie's partners are truly terrifying. The fact that his Aunt participated and discusses her own childhood trauma makes it a worth while watch - that is, if you can get past the vocal fry narration.

(I blame Paris Hilton and the Kardashians for teaching an entire generation this ridiculous and incredibly annoying speech pattern.)

Very poorly made, not much more than a collage of articles, Wiki pages, IG and Tiktok content you've probably already seen. The sitdown interviews with Courtney and Casey are what makes this series worthwhile although they didn't really get into the graphic details, their courage is immeasurable. Another takeaway is the Piper Alpha oil rig disaster as told by Edward Epstein which deserves its own series. The Hammer dynasty tragedy is epic, the series is scant. If you do decide to watch it feel free to fast forward. Hoping for a better Hammer family series/movie and a better world for these survivors.

I can't believe that people didn't like it... I mean it wasn't the best documentary but not because it totally destroyed Armie Hammer's life. He was clearly on a path at the least. I just think, it was a little too much on his shoulders.

If I was ever called out for being f-ed up, I should hope it would only be for MY SINS. Not the entire family. But it was interesting to hear and it gave light... but not in a compassionate way.

But he clearly did s-t. We've seen this before. The voicemails, the writings, the instagrams... not to count the multiple accounts from women.

The only reason why women make documentaries like this is because people don't listen and the justice system fails.

I really didn't know much about this scandal just that it happened, but I certainly did not know the details of it.

This entire family is really sick. The stuff that Armie Hammer was into is not consensual. And that's the whole point. Also, the cannibalism stuff, the torture and abuse. YIKES. . And then you look at his father and grandfather and great grandfather and it's like - holy crap. Definitely some deals made with the Devil. It seems like. Literally.

It makes me really sad that Casey Hanmer has been cut completely out of the will. She seems like a really decent person who wants people in her family to stop being so sick.
