A girl cuts her hand and sprays blood on the mangler.

An old lady gets caught in the mangler, and it slowly crushes her body as it drags her into the machinery. This is a very gory scene that is quite drawn out, as her work mates try to save her. The remains of her body are glimpsed at briefly in a crime scene context. We later see her face that has been reformed to the best of the morgue workers' ability.

The mangler releases a steam hose that burns some of the female workers. We see the aftermath on one of the girls' faces later on, as she is in the hospital, suffering terribly.

This movie is quite intense, dark and bloody, and rather crude at times.

All the violent scenes are very gory and intense (especially in the R-Rated version), some of them also emotionally.

The mangler's appearance is frightening, as it is a massive black machine possessed by a demonic force that devours people. Young kids will most likely be scared by the machine and the story.

In one scene, a machine (that is not the mangler) gets exorcised, and frees some kind of a blue tornado. This, along with the whole movie, might scare people who are afraid of supernatural events.

The old man's appearance is very scary and disturbing, and his acts and words are cruel and despicable. He is overall a disturbed individual that might scare young kids.

The chase scene at the end is quite unnerving and scary, as it involves two men and a girl that escape from the mangler, which started walking and spurting fire, and is after them.

The finale is rather shocking and unexpected.

Sherry experiences grief over the deaths of Frawley and Stanner, whom she regarded as close companions.

There are implications of Lin-Sue being a former prostitute.
