Title: Anyone else seen this movie? Post by: David L. on October 25, 2001, 07:46:08 PM I am curious to know if anyone else has ever seen a movie entitled "Manos: The Hands Of Fate". It is absolutely incredible in its badness; shot in the 1960's, it aspires to be a really scary horror film but instead, gives us a monster named Torgo whose monstrous deformity is that he has really big knees. Yes, big knees. The film was written by, produced by, directed by, and basically starring a guy named Hal P. Warren who was at the time, a fertilizer salesman. Yep, a fertilizer salseman. It is frankly hard to imagine a worse film than this; I for one think that it would make an excellent contribution to any website about bad movies; however, none of the major sites that I have been to has any mention at all of this film....could someone help me out?

Otherwise, it would have been reviewed by now. Goodness knows that enough people have asked for an article on this horrid thing. Andrew Title: Re: Anyone else seen this movie?

(Torgo,Torgo,Torgo,Torgo......!)

Post by: Vermin Boy on October 27, 2001, 01:36:58 PM Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), it appears as though the Rhino DVD will include the MSTed version only (To make up for it, they're including the material from the "Poopie" blooper tape, but it's just not the same). Too bad... call me sick, but I've always wanted to see Manos raw. Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and get the Sinister Cinema video.
