morilibus It's amazing what kind of movies are made when monkeys write the script. There was a scene in the movie where a guy tries to be really philosophical about the periodic table, saying that it's a language written by aliens. For example, they communicate with molecular formulas... "Take Silicone for example, it's used to make computers faster, but put it into a woman's body, and that speaks in much different ways." The element on the periodic table is Silicon. I'm pretty sure if you put that in a woman's breast area, it would kill her. Silicone and silicon are two completely different things.Nice going, ya dunce.

HumanoidOfFlesh A top-notch computer security system installed in a private college becomes deadly when infected with a computer virus called The Mangler 2.0.The virus crawls into the school's mainframe and all sorts of mechanical gadgets,like freezers,washing machines,security locks,and the various cameras all begin to go haywire and kill students/college workers."The Mangler 2" has nothing to do with gory and enjoyable original.The film itself is a tedious bore.The script is filled with holes,the gore is non-existent and the dialogue is rubbish.The techno soundtrack is incredibly annoying and horror regular Lance Henriksen is completely wasted as the strict head master.Stay away from "The Mangler 2".3 out of 10 and that's being kind.

thekeefes1 Wow. I watched the Mangler 2 last night with my good friends, and my life will never be the same. This movie is a great commentary on the dangers of downloading ridiculously powerful computer viruses into your school's security system. Let me tell you something, I hope the good folks at Norton Anti-Virus are on the lookout for this virus, because it's a real danger to society, not those other weak viruses. I mean, this virus had the ability to control EVERYTHING!But as far as the movie goes, the acting was superb, the plot was simply engaging, and the climax is one I will not soon forget. Trust me, do yourself a favor and see the Mangler 2. It will be regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time, mark my mangled words.

David Hart (dhart-2) This is a story about a teenager who deliberately downloads a virus to take down the new school computer security system. What she doesn't realize is that it is out to kill everyone.Where this film goes wrong is in everything that has to do with the physical universe. A combo of wires and mechanical doors moving by themselves, cold water pipes suddenly becoming scalding hot (for those who don't know, cold water pipes, especially sprinkler pipes, are physically isolated from hot water pipes in every building), and a computer turning a human into a cyborg. Most of these are forgivable in movies that involve possession or paranormal. But these have no place in a computer/virus horror movie. The only believable scenario involves an electric fence. Though, why anyone would install an electric fence around a school is beyond me.....All of the characters make the usual horror movie mistakes: splitting up, going back for more, not pulling the plug, etc. The acting is okay, considering the script...Only watch this if you are totally bored out of your mind. This would be a perfect film for Mystery Science Theatre 3000 to lampoon....David
