Mystery Science Theater 3000 -  Manos: Hands of Fate [VHS]
Arguably the worst movie that our lovable pals Joel, Crow, and Tom Servo have ever had the pain of  watching,Manos: Hands of Fateis destined to be anMST3Kclassic for this very reason. Not only is  there a sparse, illogical plot, but the cinematography is nonsensical (note Servo's point about the endless countryside  ride in Texas). That said,Manosmust be watched, and cringed at, and commented on by its viewers because of  the director's amazingly awful vision of what a horror film should be. What plot there is involves a vacationing family  being trapped in a remote ranch house in the desert that's "managed" by a greasy, what looks to be stoned, oversize  bow-legged keeper named "Torgo." As the movie goes on, and one finds the "master" and his harem of semi-dead  women clad in see-through white dresses, one wonders more and more what the hell this movie was supposed to be  about. Even Dr. Forrester and Frank feel a little sorry for Joel and the boys' being forced to watch this one. Still,  you'll find yourself spiraling into hysterics when the women get into a big catty brawl while Joel and the boys liken  their antics to a Ladies Guild performingA Midsummer Night's Dreamor female dirt-wrestling. An episode  you'll love to suffer through.--Karen Karleski
