The Hat Man: Documented Cases of Pure Evil

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....

My mother told me about him when she was 13 on her bike in Miami. She looked across the street no one was there and the black brim hat, black jacket and black eyes watching but the head didn't turn. She was pushed off her bike and looked up and they were gone. Prior to this she went to an underground cult that summoned 3 demons. She befriended a Puerto Rican girl. I saw the same figure in a polaroid my friends took ten years ago. Black brimmed hat but the eyes were glowing. I have experienced paranormal things my whole life. My mother is sick now but I believe its from things she did in the past. Let's just say there are things that go bump in the night.

"The Hat Man" documentary is a superbly made movie that presents the shared phenomena of the mysterious entity in a riveting, and spine chilling, way.

A mix of interviews, movie clips, recreations, art and photographs is used to present the material in a captivating manner.

I was genuinely spooked as the end credits rolled. Director Kyle J. Macias has made a memorable film and turned a light on a global mystery.

9 out of 10. I may sleep with the light on, tonight.

Starts pretty good and then falls apart Under its own ego
