The Mangler (1995)
5/10
Quite watchable but nothing more!!!
16 May 2021
I was hunting down some old Horror DVD's, the DVD cover and the information on the back was enough for me to be excited to purchase this.

I watched it last night, it's quite watchable, it is a very competently made horror movie from the 1990s, it feels cheap B entertainment at it's best. A Machine possessed by a demon, I mean it's pretty clear this ain't no Conjuring standard.

The acting was fine from all the leads, the director also did a good job in making a dark believable environment, nothing about this movie stands out as it's defining feature other than that it was made in the 90's and stars Robert England (Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger).

Surprisingly to my knowledge, this also spawned a sequel "The Mangler 2" from 2002 and "The Mangler Reborn" in 2005.

I don't think I would be checking those out anytime soon, but if you are curious like me, you can have a watch at least once.

Based on the reviews here, either people really loved it or just purely hated it, the rating reflects exactly that. It's definitely a 5 out of 10 for me.
