Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) Review

Manos: The Hands of Fate was directed by Harold P. Warren and stars Tom Neyman, John Reynolds and Diane Mahree. It’s about a family who get lost in the desert and have to stay with a polyamorous cult for the night.

It’s Shocking! It’s Beyond Your Imagination!

Manos is touted by many as being one of the worst horror movies every made. And after watching it, I can say they weren’t lying. This movie sucks so bad it’s painful to watch. Everything is bad from the script to the acting to the story to the cinematography to the sound design. Everything is bad… but in a good way. It’s firmly rooted in the So Bad It’s Good category. It’s so bad that after watching it once I just had to order the Collectors Edition Blu-ray. Manos is so abysmally bad that it deserves a place on in my horror collection. It’s comically bad and deserves to be preserved for this accomplishment. The guys over a MST3K did a great job of this by riffing on hard. You can see the full MST3K version of the movie below. And because you can watch it right now below, there’s no need to waste any more time reading about it. Just watch it, it’s hilarious.
