It’s time for a new episode in our video series The Black Sheep (released under the Revisited banner), and this time around we’re going to give some positive attention to one of the least popular Stephen King adaptations ever made: The Mangler (watch it HERE), directed by Tobe Hooper. To hear what we had to say about this much maligned film, check out the video embedded above!
Scripted by Hooper, Stephen David Brooks, and Peter Welbeck, The Mangler has the following synopsis:
After a series of ghastly accidents, an officer comes to believe that the steam ironer in the Blue Ribbon Laundry is possessed by a bloodthirsty demon. With time running out and a young girls life hanging on the balance, he races to destroy the beast before its too late.
