not entirely awful,
By
This review is from: The Mangler (DVD)
Since apparently only lunatics are writing reviews of this DVD (not you Johhnykay), I thought I'd better chime in to offer a reasonable voice.First thing: Stephen King has no approval regarding movies like this. He sold off the rights long, long ago, and thus cannot control when and if they get made, much less the quality of the movies. Second thing: this is not a good movie. Don't make the mistake of thinking that it is. The plot is ludicrous -- it sort of works on the page, but filmed, it is just silly. That said, the movie is not entirely worthless. Robert Englund is fun to watch as the factory owner, and there are a few decent sequences. Mainly, though, I'd say the best reason to watch is for Ted Levine, in a rare starring role as the policeman trying to sort this mess out. Just don't think this is any sort of undiscovered masterpiece; it isn't.

The Mangler,
This review is from: The Mangler (DVD)
I couldnt help but be impressed when I read the all star cast involved in this movie. Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) as director, a Stephen King (The Shining) adaptation, and good 'ol freddy krueger (Robert Englund) as one of the main characters.With these three involved I couldnt help but pick it up and give it a viewing, and get a little excited about watching it. Unfortunately, like a lot of King movies, it falls quite short of being anything special, in fact the end result is rather mediocre considering the players involved. Tobe Hoopers creeping claustrophobia is felt throughout the movie, Of course, Im not going to recommend you buy it, but if you are a fan of Hooper or King, or even England, watch it for there sakes, but dont say I didnt warn you. For you Hooper fans out there, (...)

Stand back for another Stephen King tidal wave of poop!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mangler (DVD)
Seriously, doesn't King care AT ALL about the film adaptations of his work? This movie is just ridiculous.We all know that King has a thing about machines that come to life, but he can't expect everyone else to find that scary. Especially when we're talking about a huge industrial laundry machine that winds up roaming the streets in search of virgins. Oh brother, I wish I was kidding, but that's what this movie is about. The short story on which it was based isn't bad, but it gets mangled (ha ha) along with the careers of everyone who had something to do with this terrible film. Please, Steve: you're an excellent writer, but for the love of God, show at least a LITTLE discretion when you're approving film projects based on your work. For every "Stand By Me" or "Shawshank Redemption", there's three or four "Christine"s or "The Mangler"s. Shape up! You have the power to say no! You forcibly detached your name from that piece of crap called "The Lawnmower Man"... that was a good start!
