Directed by the legendary Tobe Hooper, starring horror icon Robert Englund and based on a short story by Stephen King – this film would appear to be the stuff that horror fans dreams are made of – but the film has a bit of a notorious past and was largely panned by fans at the time of its 1995 release but – the years have been kind to The Mangler and it has now found itself worthy of a coveted Scream Factory Blu-ray release.

From the press release:
IT HAS A CRUSH ON YOU!
The masters of horror Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Robert Englund (A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise) and Stephen King (Creepshow, Misery) join forces to bring you a shocking tale of terror.
Based on King’s short story, this white-knuckle chiller follows a cop (Ted Levine, The Silence Of The Lambs, The Hills Have Eyes) as he investigates a series of grisly accidents … and uncovers a deadly town secret that has been hidden for years — a terrifying entity that threatens to destroy everything in its path. With time running out and a young girl’s life in the balance, he races to destroy the beast before it’s too late!
