Manos: The Hands Of Fate is considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. It also has developed a cult following so much so that 52 years after the original was released we were gifted (or cursed) with 2 follow-ups. One, a sequel and one, a prequel. Both filmed around the same time with a seperate cast and crew (with a few exceptions) and both released within a few weeks of each other. If that's not odd enough...the two films had nothing to do with the other and even had legal battles going back and forth as to who had the rights to the Manos name. The result? 2 movies that are vastly different but actually pretty good...or bad. They are bad on purpose with a toungue in cheek nod to the original that was unintentionally bad.
For the first time on Blu-ray both of these movies are together and even though the disc itself clearly says DOUBLE FEATURE it actually has all 3 movie with the original Manos: The Hands of Fate remastered in HD included as a surprise. A surprise I just ruined I suppose but too late now.
Collector's of bad cinema and people looking for drinking game options will love this set.
