A family driving through a small town gets lost and winds up at a backwoods shack managed by Torgo, who takes care of it while The Master is away. The Master worships Manos, an evil deity, and he also wears a neat cape. When Torgo lets the family stay, The Master awakens and does mean stuff like burning off Torgo's hand and sicking his dog on the family pet. Meanwhile, The Master's wives wrestle for his favor.

This is probably one of the best "so bad it's good" movies I've ever seen.

Amateur cinematography, voices dubbed over pre-recorded film, awkward camera transitions, visible mistakes in filming and editing, terrible acting, a story that makes no sense whatsoever, and a repetitive and awkward soundtrack paired with terrible sound editing.

It almost brings a tear to your eye. You couldn't make a worse film if you purposely tried, and that's what makes Manos come around to being a work of art. Everything done in this film was done seriously in an attempted professional manner, and as such, the film, despite being the trainwreck it is, comes off as endearing in it's overt and beautiful awkwardness.

For a movie that rightfully gets considered as one of the worst ever, I still heavily recommend it for a casual watch as it's a prime example of how even the most patchworked films with all their blatantly visible flaws can be an entertaining watch, even if not in the way intended by the director.
