THE MANGLER:
The Mangler 2 (2001)2 questions:
The Mangler Reborn (2005)
1. Which one is your favorite?
2. Which one is the worst?
Well my personal favorite of the list is Garris's Shining. The worst of course is the Corn series, and it doesn't help that you can actually refer to it as the Corn series. The Salem's Loy miniseries is interesting because it has two scene that think should have been in the original novel.
ReplyDelete1. Barlow's final speech to Ben.
2. Ben's final confrontation with Susan, or at least a variation on that scene, it just made the thing more karmic.
The rest I discount. I don't think King as rule writes stories that can have sequels. In the case of the Stand it's the Tower series that are the sequel (I still say Mid-World is the world of the Stand).

I've only seen two or three of these. I liked the 2004 'Salem's Lot. The 2002 Carrie was just atrocious garbage.
ReplyDeleteThe original The Mangler shouldn't have been remained -- let alone had a sequel.
I liked:
ReplyDeleteCarrie, 2002
The Shining, 1997
Creepshow 2
Pet Semetary 2 wasn't terrible.
ReplyDeleteCreepshow 2 was ok, the Indian story and the cartoon part were super awful.
Lawnmowerman 2 was super lame because they didn't explain what is actually beyond cyberspace! It's probably more space, superdupercyberspace?

Creepshow 2, I kind of forgot about that one. Don't know what that says about the film.
ReplyDeleteI kind like the film ending King wrote for The Raft, it seemed to fit in keeping with the story.
The Hitchhiker...I kind of did and and didn't get the ending, however it's neat to see King get cameo.

Thanks for the ride, lady!
DeleteI wouldn't count the re-imaginings of Carrie, Salem's Lot and the Shining as sequels, because they really aren't.
ReplyDeleteThey're all pretty awful, though, I guess I like Creepshow 2 best for it's adaptation of the Raft
Salem's Lot from 2004 is great!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. Wish I had; I thought it was mostly awful.
