It's not oil that keeps a laundry folding machine running...its blood. Director Tobe Hooper adapts a Stephen King short story in this mediocre tale of horror at the Blue Ribbon Laundry. Accidents keep happening at the laundry plant and detective John Hunton(Ted Levine)investigates. It seems the folding machine has acquired the taste of humans and the laundry owner Bill Gartley(Robert Englund)does his best to keep the mechanical demon fed. Some pretty messy scenes and interesting are the braces holding the laundry owner's mangled body together. Blood and gut chunks spew and even the folding machine becomes animated in its need to feed. Also starring are: Vanessa Pike, Daniel Matmor and Jeremy Crutchley.
