The Hat Man: Documented Cases of Pure Evil

-1 Star for near the end the woman who basically described a scene straight from the Twilight Zone episode 'The Hitchhiker'...

It says it's a documentary but it just seemed contrived to me. It didn't seem very real.

I didn't find a lot of the photo evidence very convincing.

-1 Star for Failing to convince me.

They never mention Ingrid Cold. Just a poor rehash of the same old stuff, whether it be hat man, slender man, the Boogeyman, babadook, or any other of the shadow people they can all be traced back to Ingrid Cold, the original grinning man of West Virginia. I watched this hoping for an original take on an old legend but honestly it was just unbelievable. The supposed eyewitnesses are laughable in their unbelievability. One of the photos is obviously the folds of the guys hoody. The actress claiming she developed red marks on her arms while discussing the hat man is so full of it her breath probably stinks. The filmmakers should make a sacrifice in apology to Ingrid Cold. Only blood will do.

I'm all for a bit of a filmmaker 'mischief', crikey I grew up with the "Blair Witch Project" (!) but 20 seconds in... the title comes up "none of which were paid actors", emphasis on 'paid' I'd wager. (Hopefully!) a harmless but ultimately dull re-tread of the whole faux documentary genre....

Starts pretty good and then falls apart Under its own ego

For a "Documentary" it's definitely one sided. There isn't more than a couple of minutes given to the argument of sleep paralysis and hallucinations.

The audio is absolutely terrible. Constantly needed to adjust the volume throughout. Also, have my eyes really failed me at 35? The subtitles were minuscule!

I think the sickly icing on the cake was the last woman describing her experiences. Just really forced.

Give this a huge miss and watch 'The Nightmare'

A better choice for looking into "Shadow People" or "Hat Men"
