* CoversAlwaysLie: The poster depicts a [[CosmicEntity cosmically]] huge, godlike decaying DarkseidDuplicate looming colossal over a [[WatchingTroyBurn burning city]], dispassionately consigning hapless humans with a single white [[EyeBeams eye beam]], honestly looking like concept art for a retro scifi New Gods movie. The actual movie is a mostly dull DetectiveDrama with the killer being an alien that can shoot energy eye-beams clearly added as an afterthought, and virtually nothing on the cover is true, unless it was intended to be really, really [[FauxSymbolism symbolic]].

* SpecialEffectFailure: The lasers shot from the Mangler's eyes, as well as the resulting explosions, are very obvious last-minute edits lazily superimposed over freeze-frame shots of the monster and its victims, thanks to a baffling halfway-through-fiming decision to change the Mangler from a zombie to an alien.

* SoBadItsGood: While the human scenes are alright, the scenes with the Mangler are unintentionally hilarious due to the terrible laser and explosion effects that make it ridiculously blatant how shoehorned the sudden change from a zombie movie to an alien movie is.
