Numerous short stories have been adapted to the screen from legendary horror authorStephen Kings debut short story collectionNight Shift.
Others became podcasts, like Strawberry Spring, or in-name-only adaptations like 1992sThe Lawnmower Man.
However, few have a reputation as ignominious as 1995sThe Mangler.The Manglerhad a lot going for it.
Its movie adaptation did not help matters.
Unfortunately, Hoopers movie mangles this modicum of social commentary.
AlthoughThe Manglerdoesnt workas a horror movie, it does excel as a guilty pleasure.

Unfortunately, its sequels failed to strike the same balance.
