By 2002, Stephan King’s bibliography would seem to have all been adapted ten fold. Yet, a team of producers called the Banana Brothers were sure they had found a way to draw more blood from the King moneymaking stone. They snagged the rights to The Mangler, found a way to cast loved by the horror community Lance Henriksen in a key role, and hired Michael Hamilton Wright to write and direct a sequel to 1995’s The Mangler.
The result? A film that looked like one of dozens of cheap Mattix knockoffs, featuring a techno soundtrack and a plot involving kids trapped in a school with tech based security. A plot, that has EVERYTHING to do with King’s original 1978 short story.
Listen to Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they continue to dredge through all the Night Shift adaptations, and see if Adam has finally reached his breaking point.
