      Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 0/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 0/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Somewhere between the over-the-top performances, Hooper's unique blend of unrelenting comic horror, and the sheer weirdness of it all, The Mangler urges our viewership along for the duration of its runtime. Rated: 3/4 Feb 23, 2022 Full Review John Townsend Starburst The Mangler is largely a dull, soulless and dated viewing experience. Rated: 2/5 Jan 28, 2022 Full Review Steve Newton Georgia Straight I've been more frightened by the prospect of folding my own laundry than by anything The Mangler offers up. Rated: 0/5 Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid There's still something interesting about it, perhaps because of Hooper's sure touch or perhaps because of the lead performance by Ted Levine. Rated: 2.5/4 May 26, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

      Elvis D The Mangler es otra de las diversas adaptaciones que se han hecho de Stephen King para explotar su popularidad como escritor. Esta vez Stephen King no es el único icono del terror detrás de esta película, ya que tiene a Tobe Hooper a cargo de la dirección y al famoso Robert Englund en el papel antagónico. La trama de la película es fiel al relato original, pero lo expande más, dando incluso una conclusión que no se pudo ver en el texto original. La película es bastante decente en cuanto a producción y tiene un guion aceptable a pesar de generar algunas dudas. Obviamente, la idea de una máquina lavadora poseída es bastante tonta, pero la película logra plasmar esa idea con mucha seriedad. El héroe de esta historia es Ted Levine haciendo de un detective duro que es típico de las historias policiales, pero Ted le da un cierto encanto al personaje. Robert Englund sabe como interpretar a un antagonista y en este caso tenemos a un anciano oscuro y sombrío a quien Robert sabe encarnar bastante bien. La máquina no se siente del todo amenazante hasta que alguien cae en sus garras y a pesar del dudoso CGI, logran convertirla en un monstruo siniestro al momento del tercer acto. Aunque llegue a sentirse como otra simple adaptación genérica de los escritos de King, The Mangle es una película y adaptación decente y respetable. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/18/23 Full Review Gianmarco R Ridiculous horror with a really embarrassing plot, not scary and with hideous, mundane and completely meaningless twists. The whole film is ridiculous and even if it is a horor it is not frightening and not disturbing, really a waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/22 Full Review Audience Member Superb flick, Ted Levine is one of my favorite actors. He makes this movie enjoyable. Movie quote "It folded her like a sheet" How can a movie get any better? I highly recommend this for any B-horror fan Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review steve d It kept feeling like it wanted to be a comedy. In that it succeeded. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member the old lady Miss frawley gets sucked into the turn of the century industrial speed iron AKA The Mangler would make an absolutely perfect heavy equipment and machinery don'ts video after each viewing I've missed frawley getting sucked into the turn of the century industrial speed iron aka The Mangler and then immediately told this or worse could be you if you don't pay attention on the job, that would scare the incompetent workers Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member What in the world....I don't remember the awful CGI at the end and it amounting to a giant washing machine monster ruining around... yeesh. I must've blocked that out. It's pretty bad all around, but it's so absurd and Englund hams it up soo much that it can be pretty entertaining. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/18 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
