Leave your thoughts about The Mangler.
| EmpireKim NewmanLame and clunky in many places which doesn't manage to save this bizarre premise from dull absurdity. |
| VarietyGodfrey CheshireWith its clunky narrative and lack of solid scares or gory effusions until the obligatory all-stops-out climax, pic ends up with little to excite fans of “Elm Street”-style shockers or Hooper’s own “Poltergeist.” |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawJunkyards and common sense were made for stuff like this. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenIt is not a compliment to suggest that a demonically possessed piece of machinery embarked on a bloodthirsty rampage has more personality than most of the flesh-and-blood characters in The Mangler, a horror movie based on a Stephen King story. |
| Los Angeles TimesDavid KronkeHooper could have also made at least a token attempt to create one interesting or sympathetic character and shot more than one take per scene--even by horror standards, the acting here is lame. Call it "The Bungler." |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezAdapted by Hooper, Stephen Brooks and Peter Welbeck from a King short story, The Mangler is ludicrous from start to finish: Its plot lines dangle, its effects fail to dazzle and the acting and directing are uniformly bad. The movie looks as if it's gone through its namesake, the five-ton, 40-foot-long Hadley Watson Model-6 Steam Ironer & Folder. Even the least demanding of genre fans will be hard-pressed to tremble in its presence. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergIt's about a homicidal laundry machine. You do the math. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAfter a string of disappointments culminating in this silly waste of time, it's hard to care if horror's golden boy carries on or not. Forget The Mangler. Go do your laundry instead. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringdonAdapted by Hooper, Stephen Brooks and Peter Welbeck from a King short story, The Mangler is ludicrous from start to finish: Its plot lines dangle, its effects fail to dazzle and the acting and directing are uniformly bad. The movie looks as if it's gone through its namesake, the five-ton, 40-foot-long Hadley Watson Model-6 Steam Ironer & Folder. Even the least demanding of genre fans will be hard-pressed to tremble in its presence. |
| Georgia StraightSteve NewtonI've been more frightened by the prospect of folding my own laundry than by anything The Mangler offers up. |
