ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

innocuous I watch a lot of bad movies...really. (I average watching 15 to 20 movies a week, most of which are independents, or B-movies.) Sometimes bad movies make me mad. (Why am I being treated like I'm an idiot? What talented person didn't get to make his movie because the studio spent it on this piece of junk?) Sometimes I'm sad. (What a horrible treatment of a book/story/author I like! What a botched opportunity!) TMR just makes me shake my head. I understand what the writers were trying for, but somewhere between the word processor and the screen, everything broke down. The movie is made competently, in the sense that the film is properly exposed and all the props seem to work, but everything else is pretty much hosed up.As an aside, I can pick locks fairly well (not as good as a decent locksmith, but better than your college room-mate) and I usually have two or three sets of picks, or a portable combination tool, with me in my car all the time. I can tell you with 80% certainty just by looking at a lock whether or not I'm probably going to be able to get it. After a minute or two of working on it, I can usually tell you whether I'll EVER be able to pick it successfully. And I sure as heck never pick a lock open that I can't pick closed, or allow myself to be locked into an area from which I can't escape.BTW, all the characters are jackasses and they all die.

Michael O'Keefe Hadley(Weston Blakesley) is an out of work repairman, upon finding parts from the original laundry folding machine dubbed 'The Mangler', he becomes so obsessed he spends his time reinventing the hellish machine. Hadley eventually becomes possessed by the new generation 'Mangler' and goes on a killing spree to keep the machine fed. Hadley actually is the living form of the machine and keeps women trapped in his house; and before decaying, he must survive by making use of the fresh victims.This movie is pretty dreadful. There is bloody violence and gore and out of curiosity is worth seeing at least once. Credited cast includes: Reggie Bannister, Aimee Brooks, Juliana Dever, Mike Dever and Renee Dorian.

ooosanteooo This is one crazy and bad bad movie. I usually like B Horror movies, but this one is just over the top. The only thing, I repeat the ONLY thing worth to watch is the split second shower scene of Aimee, and thats only 1 sec long so really - there is nothing interesting in this film. The acting is over the top bad. You can notice that the conversations are not synced properly, i.e. the one stops after a pause the other resumes .. i mean its so bad, its ridiculous. I think I would have done a better job. Especially the scene where the two thugs are in the car an the father smokes one cigarette after the other, everything is so lame and; ridiculous, what more can I say. The gore is practically inexistent, the so-called horror scenes are very badly done. Only one scene was good, where Hadley takes something out of his eye or similar. However I must say there was something compelling about the film which made me watch it until the end. Its just so bad that it will make you watch it. I pity my 2€ for renting this garbage, not even the shower scene can make up to this starring the very beautiful Aimee Brooks. Good things will come!

aimless-46 While "The Mangler Reborn" is certainly not a masterpiece, it is better than what is reflected in most comments about the film. It is a rare example of a low budget horror film that is played totally straight, no humor and very little self-parody. With a budget of just $85,000 they had to be very inventive so don't expect elaborate production design or special effects. The title character looks like a cafeteria dishwasher being operated by "Edward Scissorhands". They try to pass the thing off as sinister by always showing it in shadows. When a victim is fed to the thing they change to very tight shots of knives and clippers, trying to make it seem like they are part of the machine rather than being held by crew members off-camera. Obviously the film would benefit from a more elaborate and diabolical device, or at least one with some credibility. But the Stephen King inspired premise is a good one and the first two thirds of the film set it all up very nicely. It is almost captivating for a while but finally runs out of gas and plods through the final 30 minutes.An appliance repairman (Weston Blakesley) has acquired the cursed parts from the original "Mangler" (named for the old-style washing machine with external rollers to squeeze the water out of clothes) and is obsessively working to reinvent the lethal thing. Eventually he becomes possessed by the machine and more zombie than human. He must feed it humans because he needs to drink their "squeezins" to keep his zombie body from decaying. Blakesley is quite credible as the slack jawed zombie who takes a rubber mallet on his repair calls and acquires his victims from among his customers. His life is complicated when a father and son burglar team (Reggie Bannister and Scott Speiser) attempt to rob his house and when his daughter comes for a visit. Aimee Brooks gets a whole bunch of standard scream queen moments and is extremely attractive. The main problem is that not enough happens to sustain an eighty-minute feature. Had a parallel story periodically cut in and built up a bit of suspense, "The Mangler Reborn" could have been a engaging little film. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
