Mano a Manos!
How can I be totally objective about this movie? My father played the sheriff, who was always breaking up the young lovers in the sports car but never drove down that road far enough to find the horror at its end! The horror, as it turns out, seems to be the fact that this movie will not die! It just keeps coming back in new forms to torment us all!! Mercifully, most of those who made it are now dead, but their heirs, who don't get one penny from the movie, must live with the notoriety and shame forever!!!
I have to agree with those who have rated this "the worst movie ever made," but, or course, I am prejudiced. Just to bolster my opinion, though, I have accumulated the VHS and DVD versions of the original movie, the MST3K version on VHS and DVD, and a DVD of the stage version done by a small theater company in Portland, Oregon. If you can find a worse movie, buy it...and tell me about it!
Score: 5

Worst... movie... ever! I loved it!
Yes, this may well in fact be the worst movie ever. However, that said, I couldn't stop laughing during the whole movie. Whether the inane production values (clapboard being seen, moths flying at film lighting...), the horrible script, bad dubbing, or TORGO, I laughed so hard my cheeks hurt. Torgo is so amazingly palsy you HAVE to love him. This movie makes Plan 9 from Outer Space look like Citizen Kane. Even the name of the movie... "Manos" means hands, so the title is Hands, the Hands of Fate. wow. Well worth the 69 minutes of my life to watch it. Just don't step in that steaming pile of Manos after viewing the movie.
I know it'll never happen, but here's hoping for Manos 2 - the Revenge of Torgo!

Laughable, but a great BAD MOVIE
Plan Nine From Outer Space, move over! The worst movie EVER MADE (in this writer's opinion, anyway) is MANOS, THE HANDS OF FATE.
In this laughably bad film, an innocent family is captured by the wierd occult "high priest" Manos (Spanish for "Hands", get it?) and turned into his strange slaves for weird rituals that are so badly filmed they make no sense.
"Mystery Science Theatre 3000" did a great spoof of this film, but if you really want to torture yourself (or die laughing???) buy the original and be treated to cheap sets, poor cinematography, bad music, and even worse acting. And, oh, yes, Torgo. We can't forget Torgo the Handyman and his haunting "theme".
This movie is so bad that it is good!
Score: 2

manos: the hands of fate
uhh....a family gets lost...finds torgo...whos obviously retarded..like everyone else in the movie....i laughed for awhile at the production value (so bad its funny) than just grew a headache. i thought the master was funny as hell (thy priesthood is steadfest, thy priesthood is eternal, thy priesthood...lol) its probably not worth the money but im a movie guy and i feel kinda cool having the "worst movie ever" its something u can whip out at a party and have a good time with!
Score: 3

don't buy manos!
i am a b-movie aficianado and i love campy movies, but this is unwatchable. the novelty wears off within 5 minutes and then you're stuck with one of the worst movies ever made. knowing this was quentin tarantino's favorite "comedy" was what swayed me to get it, but he was probably being overly nostalgic about this movie. the cover art is the funniest part. i recommend generous fast-forwarding or just buying the MST 3000 version.
Score: 1
