Murilo A No, just no, NO! JUST NO! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Bruce J I've never, ever seen anything even close to this bad. Yes if you watch it with MST 3000 it is fun, but in its own, it is so bad that I can't believe it is real. I don't think anyone I know could make a mob or this bad if they tried. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review David W Utterly, utterly terrible but somehow, mainly due it's total ineptitude, strangely watchable in a what am I witnessing kind of way. The acting, direction, editing, dubbing, that awful off key faux jazz saxaphone music, the script and dialogue in general, the well everything is legendarily bad and for a very good reason. The best incarnation is the MST3K version which is side splittingly hilarious and its that which I give the five stars to. Approach watching the incoherent, babbling, almost consciousness alteringly bad original with care though. For connoisseurs of bad movies this is a stone cold classic and worthy of mention alongside the very worst in cinematic history. It's worth watching purely for John Reynolds as Torgo, who gives one of the all time great awful performances and to stand so prominently out against all the other awful performances in this mess you have to acknowledge the supreme greatness of his almost unfathomable badness. The whole movie is an exercise in absolute and wonderously complete ineptitude. A sight to behold and a stark warning to anyone who thinks they can just make a movie with no training or actual talent. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Red T 0 Out of 5. This is the worst thing I've ever seen. Not one redeeming quality at all. Torture to listen too even. Words can't describe the complete lack of ineptitude. Even Ed Wood understood movies better. God....

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Kyle E If it wasn't for MST3K, I wouldn't have seen Manos: The Hands of Fate. I knew I had to see it to see if it really was that bad. The negative criticisms and those slamming it as the worst movie ever do not lie, Manos: The Hands of Fate is as bad as all that. There is such thing as a terrible movie that has novelty comic value, but there is also such thing as a movie that is too inept to take that into consideration. Some will disagree, but I consider Manos: The Hands of Fate as a good example of the latter. To call the way the movie is made amateurish is being too kind, the camera work and editing are all over the place and makes anything that happens incomprehensible. The visual effects are dated and make everything even more artificial than it already is, while the bizarre and often out of sync sound effects and a score that is shrill and monotonous are enough to make your ears bleed. And even when your poor ears are suffering enough, they are assaulted even more by dialogue that is stilted, insultingly cheesy and too talky and some of the worst and annoying acting ever in film history. The villain is quite possibly the most laughable and underwhelming villain ever and you'd be hard pressed to find one that is worse-acted than here. Torga is the best thing about Manos: The Hands of Fate, but that's saying nothing as he's still irritating. The direction is so flat that you have to look hard to find evidence of any direction at all, while the story is incredibly thin and is so plodding that you're dying of boredom. In conclusion, hopelessly inept. 0/10 Bethany Cox Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
