A repairman named Hadley (Weston Blakesley) becomes obsessed with his machine that was once the old haunted laundry press that killed it's employees a decade before.
He suddenly gets posessed by it and goes to his clients homes, whacks them over with a sledge hammer and brings them into his home to feed to his machine.
Two criminals that break into people's homes which happens to be a man named Rick (Reggie Bannister) and his son Mike (Scott Spieser) breaks into his home only top discover many people being kidnapped there and also discovering that they cannot escape the house.

If I didn't read the dvd cover that this was based after the original movie of someone fixing the posessed laundry press I would think this is a different story alltogether as it never explains it nor does it explain why all of this is happening.
Thuis movie is extremely bland and made on a Z-grade budget with barely a story behind it.
Avoid it at all costs.

The acting is quite wooden but not extremely terrible.
Aimee Brooks is rough in the very beginning but she picks up her perfromance a bit when she realises that she is trapped in the psycho's house showing her true fears.
Scott Spieser tries to put energy in his performance playing a role of a criminal and is not bad.
However, Reggie Bannister who playas his father (Yes the ice cream man from Phantasm) is too over the top playing an asshole criminal. Good thing he was killed off during the first few scene's of his performance.

People are butchered by the machine and there are also body pieces and lots of blood.
The killers face has some of his flesh torn off.

Aimee Brooks is taking a shower and there's a camera shot on her breasts.

Two directors named Eric Cunningham and Eric Gardner worked on this film as well as wrote it. Their work is very dry and stale on it. They tried to make the scenery dark but they lack at doing so.
During the beginning of the film we have actor Weston Blakesley having a dispute at home with a small parted actress named Sarah Lilly as husband and wife. Although the aggression is almost there the chemistry with the direction isn't.
Blakesley does show good evil expressions after he is posessed making him intimidating.
There's many scene's when he hits a sledge hammer on many of the victims heads but it doesn't look believeable. However, there is a great shot on him and lead supporting actor Scott Spieser which looks very Texas Chainsaw Massacre stylish.
We have nice dialgoue sequences between Brooks and Juliana Dever when they try to escape from the house by finding the right key which looks scary wondering if they will make it witrhout being killed or caught.
There are good shots inside the house showing no chances of escaping whenever a cast member who playsa a victim tries to but that's about it.

We have some good sharp sounds by the Climax Golden Twins which can work on a better film than this one.
