I wonder what Tobe Hooper and company were thinking when they churned this one out. An antique clothes pressing machine and old fridge take on demonic traits and begin killing people. As bad as that is, I could have lived with this film for its endless gore. But for some reason Robert Englund of all people is on hand as the crippled, strangle-voiced owner of the commercial laundry in which the pressing machine holds sway. There's some jumbled plot about folks in town sacrificing their virgin daughters and one of their fingers in order to -- well, let's say it makes absolutely no sense, and Englund is so hammy and buried under so much old-man makeup, you'd swear he thought he was making a comedy. Maybe he was. That great character actor Ted ("Monk") Levine stars as the local sheriff, and he is equally bad. I should mention the special effects used to animate the machine look like they were done by a child -- in 1972. Good for the gore, and not much else.
