Few films have gained the notoriety the “Manos: The Hands Of Fate” has. Often viewed as one of the worst movies in existence, this is easily in the same league as movies such as “Troll 2”, “The Room” and “Birdemic: Shock And Terror”. It is also easily one of the blandest pictures ever made.
The plot is almost indescribable but I will try my best. A family on holiday gets lost and encounters a demonic cult. The family try to leave but the car will not start and they are in the middle of nowhere. Very little happens in the film and so much of the time is taking up by lengthy pauses.
A lot of the time during this film, the characters are just stood there staring into space. The movie was filmed without sounded so audio had to be added later. Everybody has been dubbed and the frequently the mouth movements do not quite match up with the dialog. The film includes a cripple character that is essentially like the hunchback characters found in old horror movies such as “Frankenstein”. However, instead of being a hunchback, he has dodgy knees. Watching him wobble all over just seems absolutely ridiculous. Most of the cast members never made another film and I’m honestly not surprised, being in this movie must have been seriously traumatic.
“Manos: The Hands Of Fate” was made as part of a bet and it shows. This is one of the lamest movies ever made with some of the most annoying music I’ve ever heard. The music choices also feel completely inappropriate a lot of the time. The acting in this film is some of the worst that you will ever see. If you are trying to hunt down the worst movies then you will undoubtedly need to see this one but everybody else needs to run to the hills.
