The Mangler is a terrifying horror movie. One of Englund's & Hooper's most stylish movies. It is very underrated and it is a must see for every horror fan, A+.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Anyone who has seen The Exorcist, or Christine will enjoy this horror yarn. A possessed laundry machine claims many victims by pulling them into the machine, mangling them with bloody results. The movie has terrific acting from Robert as the factory owner & Ted as the detective looking into the bizarre deaths. The Mangler is a unique horror experience. Expand

Easily one of the best horror thrillers of the 90's. The critics were way off track as usual. 90 percent of the reviews from the critics are misleading. Listen to the audiences, never the critics.

The Mangler is Englund's 2nd best movie, Freddy of course being number 1. Ted Levine is also great in this movie, Englund & Hooper made a brilliant team that produced a unique horror experience.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I may never do my laundry again! LOL

After reading about this movie, I may have to think twice before using the laundry machines in my dorm hall again! (Not really, because I have no plans in seeing this movie!) Like many other horror movies, this one is very innovative - there are horror movies with blobs, horror movies with monsters, and even horror movies with televisions, radios - heck, even chainsaws and hockey masked madmen! This movie is a horror movie that features an evil laundry folding machine! Eeh, can anyone even imagine that in real life? If anybody here is a die-hard horror movie fan, then this is a totally 10 out of 10 movie. Like it or hate it; watch it or don't watch, opinions really don't matter!

DefameApr 30, 2021
This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 10/10 Surrealistic portrayal of manufacturing where management will sacrifice anything to machines for money.

While on the surface this movie may seem a little silly, trite horror movie, having worked in a manufacturing environment for the last 12 years, I found it fascinating. The contrast between workers and top management, the lack of regard for employee's safety, the willingness to literally sacrifice to the almighty machine were too close to reality. The extreme portrayal of the main characters, laborers so meek and owners so owned by wealth, are reminiscent of Dickens. The FX were startling and exceptional. I loved this film and I don't love films very often. Even the over acting was great, because the roles required overacting. And woven through the whole story was the mundane and relatively normal main character.

I've seen worse adaptations of King's work, but I thought that since it was directed by Tobe Hooper and had Ted Levine and Robert Englund in the cast, it would be more enjoyable. Boy, was I wrong.

Another clear example that shows that what works in a book, and especially being such a short story, will not always work like a movie.
