The Mangler (1995)
Ill conceived, ill made, boring
11 April 2004
Watching paint dry is more exciting than The Mangler.

In college, a friend and I enjoyed renting low budget horror movies and making fun of them. When we saw a poster for "The Mangler" at the cheapo video store, the machine looked cool and it had a dark element to it. We though this was going to be cool!

So, what a disappointment. I dozed off and my friend finally just shut it off and started playing Tecmo Bowl. Robert Englund looked like he didn't want to be there, and most of the acting was tepid and lifeless. The story was hackneyed and slapdash.

Really, it's NOT worth watching, unless you want to fall asleep.
