I've been more frightened by the prospect of folding my own laundry than by anything The Mangler offers up.

There's still something interesting about it, perhaps because of Hooper's sure touch or perhaps because of the lead performance by Ted Levine.

Oct 31, 2014Batsh*t crazy would be a rather kind description of Tobe Hooper's The Mangler. Inspired by a Stephen King short story, a hard-nosed cop investigates a series of industrial "accidents" at a laundry company and comes to believe that the laundry press is possessed and is out for blood. Robert Englund and Ted Levine lead the cast, and are both incredibly awful; especially Levine, who angry acts through every scene. But the acting is only the beginning of the film's problems, as the script is atrocious and the special effects are terrible. On the plus side, so much is wrong with The Mangler that it turns out to be kind of laughably bad.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jul 01, 2012Truly terrible film that's falls under the banner of being so bad it is almost funny. Almost. England is playing it for laughs but Levine seems to be tackling it as if it's a Shakespeare tragedy and the combination really doesn't work. The short story by King is fun but there's no way there's enough here for a film and Hooper doesn't seem to have a clue how to tackle the material. Some very gory moments (unlike Hooper's classic Texas Chainsaw) and the whole thing has a TV movie feel to it. Avoid at all costs.David S Super Reviewer

Jan 12, 2011Probably Tobe Hooper's goriest film... and his most bizarre too! Having a demonically possessed clothes-presser is a unique sight to behold. I thought it was good fun - ridiculous, but enjoyable. Robert Englund and Ted Levine are always good to watch.Lee ? Super Reviewer

Feb 07, 2010Horrible movie. Ted Levine and Robert Englund do the best that they can with this horrible movie. Too bad Stephen King can't find better people to write movies for his stories.Ken D Super Reviewer
