The Mangler

(1994)

You'd think a movie about a possessed killer laundry press would be pretty fucking stupid, and it is. The press in question is installed in this big industrial laundry place, where it keeps folding people to death. The crazy old cripple who runs the place doesn't give a shit though, so a cop and his flakey new age buddy take it on themselves to stop it. In one part an icebox gets possessed too, so the cop goes off on it with a sledgehammer in somebody's front yard. That was pretty funny, but it's even better when they try to exorcise the laundry press and it comes to life and chases everybody around like a giant robot. This movie is pretty gory, and the chick the laundry press somehow turns evil looks pretty hot when she decides to start sporting all this black leather ('cause, you know, that's what you wear when you're evil), but the best part of the movie is probably the moral, which is, I swear to god, "The crippled are evil." Ha! Take that, Foundation for the Handicapped.
