Spielberg, on the other hand, should be blamed entirely for the situation. He hired a director, and should have let him direct it. He reminds me of the spoiled kid who has to make sure that the other kids don’t break his toys when they play with them. Just a completely annoying situation.

Spielberg could never create the kind of dread and despair seen in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He doesn’t have the ability to do that, plain and simple.

I was reading about “Death Bed” yesterday! Apparently it was shot outside of Detroit. Patton Oswalt is a big fan and does a bit about it. He speculates on the sequel, “Rape Stove: The Stove That Rapes”

I actually found a pretty great little write up on “The Mangler”, so now you don’t have too! Also, check out “Death bed: The Bed That Eats”:

“The bed also snores, leaving viewers to ponder the metaphysical paradox of a bed sleeping on itself. ”

I would count “The Mangler” on the guiltiest of guilty pleasures list. It’s easily my favorite film about a killer laundry machine.
