The Mangler is a 1995 American and South African horror film directed by Tobe Hooper, based upon the Stephen King short story of the same name which appeared in his inaugural short story collection, Night Shift (1978). The film was generally panned by critics with Rotten Tomatoes having an aggregate score of 2.5/10.
The Mangler, in Gartley's Blue Ribbon Laundry service, is owned by Bill Gartley (Robert Englund). The trouble starts when Gartley's niece, Sherry, cuts herself on a lever connected to the machine and splashes blood on the Mangler's tread, while also trying to avoid being crushed by an old ice box some movers are clumsily carrying past. Sparks and light streams occur when both the blood and the ice box come into close contact with the Mangler. Later, an elderly worker, struggling to open a bottle of antacids, spills them on the moving tread of the Mangler. When she attempts to collect them, the safety shield inexplicably lifts up and traps her hand inside, followed by her entire body getting pulled into the machine.
Police officer John Hunton (Ted Levine), with the help of his brother-in-law, Mark (Daniel Matmor), investigates the incident and the ones that soon follow. LESS
