Synopsis
Tobe Hooper's original Mangler, a laundry presser with a taste for human blood, is revived in this gruesome shocker. Hadley (Weston Blakesley), a happily married family man, has become obsessed with whatever it is he's building in his attic, and his temper is becoming more and more explosive. It turns out that the curse of the original Mangler has survived in the parts Hadley so innocently began pottering with, and Hadley himself is becoming possessed by its evil needs. When his wife ventures into his workshop, Hadley begins his transformation into a killing machine. He uses his job as a repairman to enter the homes of his victims; brutally killing them with blunt objects. As he feeds the machine's hunger with fresh victims, he becomes its organic incarnation, in a terrifying performance by the blank-eyed Blakesley.

4.0 out of 5 stars There is no liberation from machines: they are evil, 1 Mar 2005
By Jacques COULARDEAU "A soul doctor, so to say" (OLLIERGUES France) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Based on a short story by Stephen King, this film expresses the ever present and ever surviving nature of evil, hence of fear. Here the film deals with the big monsters that the big machines of the industrial age contain and represent. Machines are evil spirits that can only work if they suck on humanity, their blood, their pith and marrow, and even their spirituality. The machine is the bloody god of the modern age that requires regular human sacrifices to go on working properly. This is frightening because it is coming from a popular saying that the machine eats the worker up. It is also visually shown in the fact that the master, the owner of the machine, the one who will make a big profit from it by exploiting the work of the workers has to sacrifice a body part of himself or herself to the machine for the machine to accept to work for him or her. There is no morality in all that, in this world. There may be a desire for the world to be ethical, but this desire is nothing but a pipe dream that has absolutely no chance to be realized. Once we have committed ourselves to the god of machines, we cannot go back and even destroy these machines. The devil that is living in them will get us before we ever even try, what's more succeed in destroying it. There is no effective exorcism even with holy water and wafers and incantations in Latin. These evil spirits living in machines are beyond this because they are the pure creation of men : Man created the machine and thus provided these evil spirits that are roaming the world with a haven where they can prosper and from which they can dominate and enslave the world, even if they need some « boss » to enact and realize this domination, to the boss's profit of course, but this profit is only a delegation of power from the devil to the boss and a temporary probation for the boss who will have eventually to go back to the machine as simple fodder. This is the most disquieting vision of our free enterprise society a sane mind can imagine.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

4.0 out of 5 stars A very underrated movie, 19 Sep 2003
Let me first say no one got the
credit they desirved for making this.
Tobe Hooper did a very good job directing
Robert Englund was very very sinsiter as he always is
the reason this wasnt a big hit was for the simple fact
it didnt have body count such a shame if your a horror
fan you should already have this in your collection if you
dont get it
