| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe bad film has no pleasure value, as it is irritating and never funny. |
| ScreenAnarchySebastian Zavala KahnIt's one of those "so bad it's good" kind of movies that has achieved cult status due to its terrible acting, nonsensical plot, and technical errors. |
| ChrisStuckmann.comChris StuckmannAtrocious on every level...but there is something to say about the fact that it exists, and the drive he had to get it made. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's not even a movie; it's barely a time killer. It's more of a soul killer. |
| User ReviewFloyd CThe rating system does not go high enough to do this film justice. My rating: 29/10 |
| User ReviewLaura TAmong the greatest films ever made, Hal Warren's masterpiece is a seething miasma of suspense. The fact that the actor who played Torgo did not win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor that year is a travesty. A taut, well-directed thriller, with wonderful location sets and fabulous costumes. Don't miss! |

| User ReviewAnthony MNothing more terrifying than misshapen thighs! |
| User ReviewDana DA rare and delicate cheese. (I can't believe this got two stars) |
| User ReviewAustin FThis may be the most horrible film ever to be shown at a drive-in. And also one of the funniest. "Manos" has the honor of making any film Ed Wood ever did look like a major studio "A" picture. Jaw-droppingly bad from all standpoints: acting, script, camera angles, music, special effects, you name it. Thank goodness it is short. Hal Warren achieved true anti-greatness in just one shot and deserves all the "credit" he gets. Essential viewing for cult and "bad" movie fans. |
