I honestly enjoyed Manos better than many movies of its kind, made before and since, and I like the ending of it. I find the qualities put in by apparent ineptness adds a surreal creepiness to it that a more professional movie would be lacking. Your trailer does it justice.
Pretty good. I have for a bit now been attempting to re-invision the film itself actually, jsut for fun and shoot it. Since Hollywood lieks re-makes so much you know. :)
Great Trailer to a movie thats painful to get through and the master wouldn't approve. The master wears moses sandels. lol A waste of $19,000.00 in the summer of 66'.
Cool! And, unless I'm very much mistaken, wouldn't that mean that your grandmother did makeup/costumes for it, and that your grandfather played the Master?
To paraphrase Joel Hodgson: "That poor kid!" Seriously, let her know all us MSTies appreciate her in this film. She did a better job than a lot of the adults.
Back in 1966, I saw MANOS in El Paso.... Long before the media called it the worst movie, I knew it was the worst for me even before the movie was over! People were laughing and smiling as they left the movie.... I have pleasant memories of the movie "Manos: The Hands of Fate."
I know this is considered one of the worst films of all time, but you know, the guy made the damn movie. He was made a bet he couldn't make a movie on his own, and he did it. It's an accomplishment in itself, and although it is horrible, so many people have seen it. There are people out there who've made great movies who are rejected from the film festival circuit all the time. Hats off to Harold P. Warren, who showed the world everyone could make a movie, but not everyone could do it well.
Very good. I'm glad it wasn't put out today, though, it would probably be filled with gore and shocks and not as much fun as the original. That's right, I said Manos is fun. Anyway, good video.
That right Manos the hands of fate. Movie of cheer terror it will leave chill down audiences' spines. It will make them run out of the theatre running terror. And critics agree..this movie is so bad you have to be one stupid bastard to even think about seeing this film, you set yourself on fire for cheer stupidy of it all. Manos The Hands of Fate:If this movie doesn't drop your IQ, nothing will.
You know, with the right director and budget, you could remake "Manos" into a pretty scary movie. I can't figure out why they've remade all the good classics like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Dawn of the Dead," films that were fine the way they were, and don't bother with the crap that needs redoing.
This just goes to show you that a well made trailer can make any movie "appear" to be good...even this one. That's why so many people think eevry new movie that come sout is going to be great...all based on the trailer.
Okay, two points...1: that trailer was better than the whole film! And 2: if I'd seen that trailer before I saw the movie, I would've said, "I have to see that!"
Awesome trailer!! It actually makes Manos the Hands of Fate look like it would be a scary movie! I like how you had the Master's hand patterns on his cloak slowly come into focus with each message too, it's actually kinda creepy xD Great work!
Very cool trailer, really made a shit film look almost half good. Minor criticism; slightly too long. It kinda made the whole thing less dramatic, e.g. The bit where you put the cast names in, you could have given each person about a second, instead of 5. Pretty cool though, very well done!
Excellent!well done...glad you included the" No Madam...not dead the way you know it...he is with us always..." line. well edited...good music...nice trailer...this goes to show that "Manos" may have been viewable had it not been for the agonizingly, tortureous, editing....thanks
Oh my god, can you imagine being tempted into the theater with that trailer and then having the fetid pile of garbage that is Manos dumped on you? Ha ha ha! Very well done!!
You're really good; you made an awful movie look really chilling! I've not watched the MST3K version yet but I definitely will after seeing this. I'd say you accomplished your goal in making it like a modern day trailer. Good work.
The award winning documentary on Manos, Hotel Torgo, is being released soon and will likely be seen on TV and more festivals soon as well. One of the directors (Aaron Allard) is keeping people updated on the Hotel Torgo page on IMDB. It's amazing and I recommend seeing it if you're a fan of Manos, or even if you're not!
Hal Warren (who plays Michael) wrote, produced & directed this film. It flopped miserably in 1966 only to be revived by MST3K around 1993. Torgo was supposed to be a Satyr.
Hey, this was pretty good. The only thing different I would've done was to have had more of the "Torgo" theme song, such as that entire last part where the various cast members are being introduced.
Manos: The Hands of Fate is still better than any of the Twilight movies.
