Quest for the WORST Movie Part 14: “MANOS”: The Hands of Fate

I sometimes think I’m truly a glutton for punishment when I look at some of the movies I’ve reviewed, especially on the Quest for The Worst Movie. There have been some truly dreadful movies and there are some bad ones on the way too….but this is nightmare fuel on many levels.

Made in 1966 by Harold P Warren (He also stars), this “gem” is about a family that goes on holiday and get lost on a road trip. After a long trip, they get trapped at a lodge with a cult in and they try to escape as the cult members decide what to do with them.

The movie was made as the result of a bet, and it shows. The budget for the movie was $19,000 and was awful…there’s editing and continuity flaws, soundtrack and visuals aren’t synchronised and there’s scenes that are inexplicable from the overall plot. Apparently

This movie is ALMOST as bad as Birdemic, but this is less boring, but it has less production values. So on the Quest for the WORST Movie this is listed second worse behind the joint first movies (Both Birdemic movies).

If you really want to want to watch this movie (you may be crazy enough, I was after all…) then it’s rated 12A and can ba bought on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital.
