Really Awful Movies: Ep 48 – Manos: The Hands of Fate

(http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/tdy-120709-rifftrax-02.380;380;7;70;0.jpg)In the infamous Manos: the Hands of Fate, a family (and their little dog too) gets lost in the back roads of rural Texas and stumbles upon a hidden, sinister, devil-worshiping cult led by the fearsome Master and his hunched over man-servant Torgo. Guess roadside assistance was hard to come by. General rule: avoid abandoned homes in the middle of nowhere, tended to by weirdo midget manservants. There is a very odd subplot involving a vice squad busting teens making out in convertibles, with booze stashed in glove compartment. FYI, the robe above makes a very bold and quite awesome fashion statement. The movie, very unfairly described as one of the worst of all time, is coming to Blu-Ray in October. It makes a perfect stocking stuffer.
