The Mangler

IT WILL SCARE THE SHEET OUT OF YOU!Master of Horror Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw, Salem's Lot, Life Force) returns to the works of Stephen King with this baroque and blackly comic adaptation of The Mangler.When a worker at Gartley's Blue Ribbon Laundry is pulled into the titular laundry press and folded like a sheet, police officer John Hunton (Ted Levine, Silence of the Lambs) is called to investigate. Was it an accident, or is something more sinister going on? As more deaths and injuries occur under the watchful eye of owner Bill Gartley (Robert Englund), Hunton, with his demonologist brother-in-law Mark Jackson (Daniel Matmoor) come to believe the machine might be possessed, and the town itself to be hiding a much deeper secret.Like an EC horror comic come to life, The Mangler is bold, brash and politically aware as Hooper once again points his camera at the American Nightmare, this time turning it on the bloodthirsty machinery of capitalism itself!High Definition blu-ray (1080p) presentation from a 2K restorationLossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 and 2.0 stereo audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingBrand new audio commentary by critics Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Josh NelsonBrand new audio commentary by critics and self-confessed 'Manglophiles' Matty Budrewicz and Dave WainAudio commentary by co-writer Stephen David BrooksNature Builds No Machines, a brand new visual essay by Scout Tafoya, author of Cinemaphagy: the Films of Tobe Hooper This Machine just Called Me an Asshole!, a brand new visual essay by author and critic Guy Adams on the monstrous life of inanimate objects in the work of Stephen KingGartley's Gambit, an archival interview with star Robert EnglundBehind the Scenes footageTheatrical TrailerReversible sleeve with original and newly commissioned artwork by Adam Rabelais
