right off when you see the girl's pet dog you figure "right, so when is that going to get it?", i know alot of people are put off by movies using animals this way, if it weren't for elvira hosting i would have already stopped watching by the time i noticed the limping guy had his own theme music. this looks more like the quality of alot of the 80's released movie macabre flicks, only difference is there the movie macabre work wasn't reduced to the point where it really is only hosting and not a major part of the watching experience. i've gotten a bit in a third movie in the box as well, using the same exploitation, atleast the interuptions get more space there, i don't know what's up with this bloody madness collection, it does not measure up to the previous ones.


deep in the woods where tracks fade,
runnin behind from the lost game,
so many paths lead back to find,
at the village i'm breathing out,
ranger trying to find my county next close,
still can't tell wich lane to the bus roll,
before the night fall over this place,
trying to find back to my world again.

I found Monster a-Go Go to be a bit worse.

Yes, yes it is. We should all worship it for its badness.

I agree with this. At least with "Manos," things kinda sorta add up, even if many individual bits make no sense. It's about a family that gets caught by a cult, tries to get away, but ends up in the Master's clutches.

None of Coleman Francis's films lead up to any kind of point. In all three, random stuff happens to some characters, and then the main character dies. The End.

So, no. "Manos" is not the worst movie of all time. There are movies that are actually even worse.

Agree with Aitch. Also agree that Monster-A-Go-Go was worse, much worse. Manos is at least entertaining in a bad way. Monster is horrible, boring, wretched, lacks a sound track and a lot of dialogue and sound effects( they ran out of money but still finished it) and lacks an ending! Manos at least has a plot, even if it's a silly and stupid one. Francis' hideous opuses also lacked any kind of coherent plot, they were pretty much senseless. Manos is awful, but in a fun and cheesy sort of way that make it a cult classic. So, no, i'd say that Manos is NOT the worst film of all time, not even close.

I think Monster a Go-Go and Psyched by the 4D Witch are worse.
