MANOS is not simply a bad movie-- It's a depressingly bad film. I would contribute to any fund that advocated buying up all the copies & destroying them.
The female lead is very, very pretty. The score is pleasant enough cocktail jazz. Everything else about the film is the epitome of ineptitude. And is often hilarious.

One of the most boring movies I have seen is MANOS. I've also seen THE ROBOT MONSTER - in 3-D (silly black and white movie with the bubble machine - and sat through PLAN 9 a couple of times. I wonder if any movie is worse.
MANOS is just silly, pointless, meandering. Made, I was told, by a fertilizer saleman or financed by him.

Tom Neyman as the VERY OLD Master.
Uh oh is right. I've pretty much been able to block out the memories, but I do remember it as one of the worst movies ever.
The only way to watch it is the MST3K version. Joel and the Bots make it entertaining.
I have no idea what this is or what you're talking about...
is it morning yet? Is there coffee?
I read a story once about a boy who fished all day but never caught a fish. Is that it? What master?
