Located in the extreme west of Texas, a piece-of-shit city called El Paso made two contributions to mankind.
The first is a serial killer named Richard Ramirez who's better known as the Night Stalker, and the other is
Manos: The Hands of Fate. Certainly not among those movies that people must see before they die, it's rather
a gigantic waste of time. In other words, there's no reason for it to enter anybody's consciousness.
Manos: The Hands of Fate plays out like a silent picture despite the deceptively short running length of
70 minutes. It's quite boring to watch: two idiots deciding to stop for rest ten miles off some road
in the middle of nowhere, a former confederate soldier acting like a hippie, women wrestling each other on
the ground, and a mustachioed guy revealing large red hands on his front costume whenever he raises his arms.
All in all, there's no reason to bother with Manos: The Hands of Fate.
