Manos: The Hands of Fate/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"For an amateur production, the color came out very well, however--and perhaps, by scrapping the soundtrack and running it with subtitles or dubbing it in Esperanto, it could be promoted as a foreign art film of some sort or another. [...] Someone is spoofing us."
Betty Pierce, El Paso Herald-Post movie reviewer, November 16, 1966
Hero Massaged to Death in 'Manos--The Hands of Fate'
—Headline to the above movie review
You know when you were a kid and you got really sick and had a really high fever, and you hadn't had anything to eat except saltines and 7up for three days, and the fever was so high that you were sweating (but cold at the same time) and everything you looked at had sort of a red/orange tint to it? Manos is just like that, only worse."
