Normally I don't do reviews of Movies as a separate page on
Horrorking, but this time I thought I would make an exception. The
short story "The Mangler" was always a favourite of mine, but when I
watched the original movie, I was not all that impressed, as they
might have captured the gore, but they missed the sense of doom
before and after the machine claimed its first victim. Now there is a
second chance, well in this case, a third one, when The Mangler
Reborn, the second terrifying sequel to King's short Story "The
Mangler", is released on DVD in the UK on the 16th of October 2006
The story starts with washing machine repairman, Hadley Watson, who
is working on his latest contraption - an industrial apparatus
boasting mechanical arms with blades, and a mouth, sporting rotating
saw-like teeth. What Watson does not know is that the machine
contains parts from the original Mangler, and it roars to life after
Watson accidentally cuts himself on one of the machine's gears.
Possessed by his deadly creation, the man is transformed into its
living form. Now the only way for him to survives is to feed on the
machines fresh victims.
The Mangler Reborn is the latest terrifying chapter in Stephen King's
hit franchise and boasts gritty thrills and chills that hark back to
such 70's classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween.
Featuring Aimee Brooks (Critters 3, Blossom), Reggie Bannister
(Phantasm), Weston Blakesley (Malcolm in the Middle, The West Wing)
and Scott Speiser.
Horrorking will be giving away a number of copies of the DVD to lucky
UK readers. To enter the competition, see

for Memory ( http://www.horrorking.com/rare_works.htm#memory )
Also Added Lisey's Story page, but there is no real information about
