Manos: The Hands of Fate | comment |
"Manos" The Hands of Fate is a 1966 American No Budget horror film written, directed, produced by and starring Harold P. Warren. It is widely recognized to be one of the most hilariously bad films ever made.Mike and Margaret, along with their daughter Debbie and the family dog Peppy, find themselves lost on the way to Valley Lodge during their family vacation. As night begins to fall, they decide to spend the night in a strange-looking house on the side of the road. Torgo, the house's caretaker, greets them upon their arrival. Torgo sPeAkS wItH aN oDd EmPhAsIs, has extremely bulgy legs (a failed attempt by the filmmaker at making Torgo a satyr), and continuously refers to "The Master"—the undead leader of a cult dedicated to a dark god known only as Manos. The Master, Torgo and The Master's conclave of wives want to kill the intruders, but can't come to an agreement as to who to kill: The Master wants to keep Margaret alive as his (seventh) wife, Torgo wants to keep Margaret as a wife for himself, and the wives want to kill both Margaret and Mike but refuse to kill Debbie, which leads to them fighting amongst themselves. As the night continues, Mike and his family find themselves in great danger — and they eventually come face-to-face with The Master himself...Texas native and future fertilizer salesman Hal P. Warren pulled triple duty by writing, directing, and starring in Manos. Warren wanted to win a bet with Stirling Silliphant (a genuinely talented fellow, the screenwriter of In the Heat of the Night among others) by making a successful horror movie on a shoestring budget. Without any previous movie-making experience, Warren soon found himself in over his head—but he decided to press on with a bare-bones Bell & Howell camera, a lack of remote sound equipment, and a cast composed mainly of community theatre actors and local extras. The finished film provoked laughs instead of chills at its first screening in Warren's hometown of El Paso; Warren himself, demonstrating eerie prescience, suggested after the screening that someone could Gag Dub the film and re-release it as a comedy.The film languished in obscurity for thirty years until the producers of Mystery Science Theater 3000 discovered it;note If you need any proof, view the entry for Manos in The Video Watchdog in 1992, then in 1993—from two-sentence description to a loving long entry discussing its cheesiness and appearance on MST3K the MST3K episode that featured the film proved Warren's suggestion right—and became one of the show's most famous (and beloved) episodes. For tropes related to the MST3K episode itself, please visit its Recap page.For more laughs at the film's expense, check out The Agony Booth's recap or I-Mockery's review. Manos also spawned three major fan works: a computer game adaptation of the film, a crossover with Splatterhouse, and a Retraux NES platformer.Thanks to its popularity post-MST3K, Manos spawned a 2007 musical (Manos: Rock Opera of Fate, performed in Chicago) and a 2004 documentary (Hotel Torgo). RiffTrax performed a live riffing of the film in August 2012, which you can purchase as a VOD.In 2011, film buff Ben Solovey bought a host of old film reels hailing from distributor Emerson Films via an eBay auction, partially because he saw Manos listed on the collection of reels. That Manos' reel ended up surprising Solovey when he received it, because he'd actually bought the film's original 16mm workprint. Solovey established a Kickstarter campaign to help fund a complete high-definition restoration of the movie from the pristine-condition workprint; by the campaign's end, Solovey raised almost 400% more than the initial goal. A side-by-side comparison of the restoration illustrates the dramatic difference between the restored version helmed by Solovey and the currently-available DVD release (created from third-generation sources and degraded beyond repair). A legal battle between Solovey and Harold's son Joe held up the process, in which it was revealed that Hal never secured the copyright to the film itself. Ultimately, the restored film was released on October 15, 2015 thanks to Synapse films. It featured a commentary track by Tom Neyman (who played the villainous Master, as well as doing many other behind-the-scenes jobs) and his daughter Jackey Raye Neyman Jones (who played Debbie), both of them providing some fascinating insight into the Troubled Production.Jackey would later write a memoir, entitled Growing Up with Manos: The Hands of Fate: How I was the Child Star of the Worst Movie Ever Made and Lived to Tell the Story, going into more detail into the film's production and the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who made it, as well as how the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode changed her life and helped her reconnect with her father.A sequel, entitled The Search for Valley Lodge, was reportedly in production sometime in 2013 until they ran out of money; the crew supposedly filmed in El Paso and used much of the original cast. Production resumed in 2016, and the film was released in 2018 as Manos Returns.In 2015, an independent video game was made of the movie (or, arguably, the MSTing of the movie) in the style of a NES platformer was released on Steam.In 2016, Spectrum Games (of Cartoon Action Hour fame) celebrated Manos' 50th anniversary with Manos: The Cards of Fate, a card game based on the film. The game is endorsed by Jackey Neyman Jones. | |

Manos: The Hands of Fate / int_11ec1fd5 | comment |
Off-the-Shelf FX: Tom Neyman, who plays the Master, was a prolific artist, specializing in welding and sculpting, and was going through a period of using hands as a central motif in a lot of his work. Most of the hand-related props and pieces of set dressing in the movie are things Neyman already had lying around his house, and indeed, the movie's entire hand motif exists to justify using Neyman's art. On the Blu-Ray edition's commentary track, Tom even points out a bedspread taken from his house - and he doesn't think he ever got it back. | |

Gratuitous Spanish: "Manos", of course. It translates to "hands." What's strange is there are no Spanish speakers anywhere else in the film, so it's possible this was done because it just needed to sound foreign to the audience. | |

All There in the Script: In Warren's screenplay the couple making out in the car are named Sally and George, while the defiant head wife of The Master is Lenore, in what is probably an homage to The Raven. | |

He doesn't so much turn on The Master as he declares that the family has managed to avoid him so far, and Torgo thinks he can carry off Margaret to be his bride. That very much does not happen. | |

Hong Kong Dub: Every voice in the film was performed by five actors (four males and one female), as the film was shot entirely without sound and the dialogue was added in post-production. For some reason, they still used a clapboard (which is visible in a few shots). The little girl who played Debbie allegedly cried when she heard how she sounded in the movie. | |

Manos: The Hands of Fate / int_58977071 | comment |
Creepy Jazz Music: The score, by Russ Huddleston and Robert Smith Jr., is an interesting use of stripped-down modern (circa 1966) jazz in a horror setting, mainly centered on piano and woodwind (flute and saxophone), with a few elements of free jazz (the discordant piano, the repetitious riff in Torgo's Leitmotif) tossed in to add to the unsettling vibe of the rest of the film. | |

Body Motifs: Hands, of course. The Master's robe has two big hands on it and he can perform some form of dark magic by extending his hands, like when he dismembers Torgo and sets the torn off hand aflame. He may also have some kind of telepathy/mind-rape powers given how Mike has replaced Torgo at the end and Debbie and Margaret have been added to his list of brides. | |

Idiot Ball | |
Manos: The Hands of Fate / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Torgo didn't want to let the couple stay at the house, and Margaret didn't want to stay there. If Mike had listened to either of them, the movie would not have happened. In the end, Margaret declares that she's not up to fleeing cross-country through the desert, and that they need to stop to rest. Where does she recommend Mike take his family to rest? The very house they're trying to get away from. Even worse, he agrees that it might just be the safest place. While trying to flee, the family comes across a rattlesnake. Rather than back away and let it be (as rattlesnakes generally only rattle to alert potential predators of the danger in assaulting them, not when they're about to strike), Mike shoots at it, unnecessarily making a racket that they then worry will lead the Master to them. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: It's ambiguous whether or not Torgo survives; Warren intentionally left his fate ambiguous, as he planned to film a sequel (which was never produced) starring Torgo. The tragic death of Torgo's actor, John Reynolds, made that impossible. | |

Lovable Sex Maniac: Averted hard with Torgo. He is shown to have molested the wives when they are in their comatose state and he makes a pretty disgusting pass at Margaret after bringing her to the guest room. Granted, it doesn't help that she just stands there instead of running away or slapping him, but the behavior makes it clear he's a creep. He later even peeps into her window when she's changing out of her dress. | |

Dull Surprise: Mike underreacts and overreacts literally from scene to scene. Sometimes, he has bland reactions to things that he should be concerned about and the other times, he flies off the handle into anger. Debbie and Torgo suffer from it, though Torgo less so until the finale where The Master rips off one of his hands and sets it on fire, causing Torgo to run away in agony. Margaret and some of the wives all practice this trope at times. The Master's attempt at a Death Glare generally comes off more like "Not before my coffee." | |

Nothing Is Scarier: This would have worked if the film had even a teaspoon of competence at any point, but it doesn't. Characters pretty much say everything aloud that they're going to do and while it is creepy to be trapped in a hostile place with a bunch of vampires trying to enslave you, the film itself doesn't supply any true scares nor does it allow the situation to unsettle the audience. It's so poorly done that it actually averts the trope. | |
