The Mangler

A laundry folding machine in an industrial laundry has been taken over by a demonic presence and begins killing the people who work around it. Officer John Hunton investigates a series of deaths tied to the steam press at Bill Gartley's Blue Ribbon laundry, and his inquiry leads him toward the machine itself and its owner. The film is based on a short story by Stephen King.

Tobe Hooper directed the film, his eleventh in a career of fifteen features, between Night Terrors and Crocodile. Ted Levine plays Officer Hunton and Robert Englund plays William "Bill" Gartley, with Daniel Matmor, Vanessa Pike, Jeremy Crutchley and Demetre Phillips in supporting roles. Hooper wrote the screenplay with Harry Alan Towers and Stephen David Brooks, and Anant Singh produced.

The Mangler was released in March 1995 and made about 2 million dollars worldwide. On TMDB it holds a rating of 4.9 out of 10 from 284 votes.
