The Mangler Reborn

The Mangler reborn takes a different approach to sequels, the story doesn't follow on the the washing machine that killed people. In this film the story line is that there is a new computer system in a college and the mangler infects it with his evil and the people that use it get killed, I feel that some aspects of the trailer are quite effective, the typography has changed from being red to being in a digital text and when the words come up it is as if they are being typed, this is quite spooky which is effective. This trailer is very different as it starts of in an everyday school where the pupils are being told about the new computer system. Then we see it change when the school gets the 'mangler virus' then we see the man who is responsible for it with equipment all around him which we are unsure about, this adds to the sense of mystery around the mangler. We then see a lot of destruction happening around the school and to the people that go there. this is effective as it makes the audience want to see what happens to the mangler and whether he gets caught.
This sequel is good as it will already have an established audience - the people who watched the previous film. This maybe what allowed the producers to be able to change the storyline slightly and expand on what 'The Mangler' is capable of.
