Actually, I liked it--It was bundled with Graveyard Shift when I saw it on TV.

Pathetic.
Honestly, I thought this was one of the most BORING movies I have ever seen.
Not even the limited "gore" could make it worth looking at.
Got turned off within an hour.

I hadn't thought I'd ever come across anyone who'd actually WANT them to make a sequel...interesting...

Yeah...The second one really had nothing to do with the first...OR with Stephen King's original story...


I only watched the first one BECAUSE it was written by Stephen King, and starred Robert Englund...

It was scary at the time..

The first lady that gets sucked by the machine..haha. Oh man.

LOL like in Max Overdrive and the kid gets hit in the nuts with a pop .. or was it a baseball?... whichever, FUNNY.

I don't think THE MANGLER is such a bad movie, it's just not a good one. Still I admire those who want to take a stand a praise a movie that gets dumped. All horror films are special in there own way, well maybe not, but it was nice to say.

Suposedly, theres a third in the works. I think I read that on here somewhere....Im too lazy to go find the thread though:)

nice

I think it's quite amazing that a movie that's based on Stephen King's story, is directed by Tobe Hooper and has Robert Englund in it, can be so bad. on the other hand, it is pretty hilarious....

I haven't seen the frist one yet, I really want to see it. The second one was ok. not that great.

pretty sure they weren't going for the comedy market

wasnt the human protagonist that Stephen Macht (spelling) guy from one of the TV space shows ? Battlestar gallactica ?

if so, he actually did a decent job with that accent .. or i could be confusing him with someone else ?
