Plot
At night the Mangler stalks the streets of Los Angeles, killing at random, while a reporter and a detective track him.
Sinekatalog’s take
Tobe Hooper's sci-fi horror (directed in part by John "Bud" Cardos) is cheap and silly, with a laser-eyed alien killer.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
