This truly is one of the worst movies that I have ever seen in my life. I don't think that I would be able to say that it is the worst since there were a lot of real duds that I have seen. But this is still probably like in the bottom like ten or five movies that I have seen. But that won't really make any sense if I don't explain why that is the problem. Well first off the whole thing with Torgo was just so over the top that I don't think that you could really be able to go on and call it a good performance. And the whole walking thing made the problem even worse than it already was. And many people would go on and try to call this the best part of this darn movie. Which is nothing more than a sign of how bad this movie is really. I can't be able to watch a single moment with the so called master and take him seriously. He is basically the play boy of horror. A old man who has a bunch of younger wives and it even gets to the point in which he marries a six year old girl at the end of the movie. Who in real life is actually his daughter which makes it even worse to watch.One thing I will say in the defense of this movie though was that the budget and making of this movie was so poor that they had no choice but to use a camera that only could lead to 34 seconds of footage being recorded in each session or else it wouldn't record anything over. Since the movie is like 74 minutes, that is like a good one hundred twenty sessions that they had to record. Overall, this movie has a terrible plot that makes no sense, a bunch of horrible acting, a ending that is beyond every definition of awful and just makes me a little bit sick to even go on and think about it at all. I know that I probably over blow it when I say that, but is the truth. Nothing about this film could be classified as good and the only thing I could say to defend it was based off of a technical issue more than anything else. I would say only watch this if you want to see one of the worst movies of all time.

I'm not kidding: watching this thing, if you can endure it without injuries (I did it the easiest way: I watched the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 version of it...), teaches you quite a few things. Ergo, it has "value", albeit in a very broad sense. More like a function, really. First, one can use it to calibrate one's rating scale. This is as close as a standard 1 as you'll ever get. I won't repeat all the previous comments about the movie: every reasonable or even average-minded person will agree on the absolute nullity of this full nadir in the history of cinema: so, it is very useful to set your scale to zero (that is, 1 by definition at IMDb). As a corollary, which may be construed as its second function, "Manos..." is thus the perfect universal ground zero on which every other movie suddenly takes a contour and perspective, including famous "worst ever-s" that abound in opinions that cluster around titles such as the inevitable "Plan 9 from Outer Space", which, thanks to Manos, gives a novel elegance to the Art of Ed Wood. Such an important role for Manos cannot be overestimated: force every IMDb under 18 to watch Manos (there are ways to check if they did their homework!!! 😂) and I'm sure we won't read reviews with that dreaded condemnation: this is the worst movie EVER! Anymore because everybody knows it's Manos.In summary, we must thank Harold P. Warren for rallying all the critics around his Bizarro world masterpiece, where antiactors play antiroles with an antiscript and move along through a hostile environment of floating antimatter, risking dramatic annihilation at every antimoment until the very end, where they finally dissolve in a cosmic explosion when all that antimatter hits true matter, and the viewer reads the word DNE EHT on the last frame of Manos.What a great experience it was!

If I could rate this film a '0,' I would. However, the MST3K version redeems it. After all, the worse the movie, the funnier they make it.If you read the "trivia," you'll see just how awful the production was--and every bit of it shows. If you've ever seen student films (like, middle school student), then you have some idea of just how this film looks. Because the film could only capture a few sections at a time, there are lots of awkward cuts. And the dubbing is painfully obvious, and often out of sync.This movie is fabulous fodder for jokes, and I imagine if you're even looking on this page, that's why you're interested in watching it anyway.

While not the worst of the worst (there"s still a few out there vying for that title) Manos is like making a sub sandwich then finding out the bread has mold. The plot had potential but was wasted on bad shooting, acting, sets and costumes. Who exactly is this Master? Does he sleep like Dracula in the open air? Is Torgo retarded or evil? Is the hero, Micheal, a complete moron? Why the tour of a boring Texas landscape? What evil cult leader actually choses southern Texas as his base of operations? So many questions, so little concern. What does the Master want with all those wives when he appears to be a dork? I give it 2 1/2 thumbs down. Best viewed after 3 beers.
