Like most I was introduced to this punishingly awful film through MST3K. It was one of their classic episodes and there is good reason. This movie is so queerly made in every aspect. Torgo with his odd knees is creepy unlike no other. Quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.

I watched the original. I died a little inside. I don't think I'll be getting up in the morning.

Truly awful movie. Steer clear unless it's the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version.

Definitely the worst film I have ever seen - but I must admit I couldn't stop laughing during the extended, badly edited wife cat fight. MST3K makes it bearable at least!

Completely lacking and horrible in every possible way.

Poor Torgo never had a chance.

Ugh. Even MST3K didn't save this for me.

Classically horrible. The only thing redeeming is the fact that it is probably the worst film ever conceived. Torgo is amazing, and the fact that the movie makes very little sense is pretty funny. Really, though, it's entertaining, but not on purpose.

Love the MST3K version, but I can't imagine watching the original all the way through.

It's terrible, but I still have a soft spot for this and other truly horrible movies. It may be bad enough to repeatedly provoke unintentional laughter, but at least it's drawing some sort of physical response. There's something to be said for that, isn't there?

"DO SOMETHING!" What utter shit. And they seriously thought this would be a success? What were they smoking? Still, absolutely hilarious at times.

No sense. This film makes none. And the 'violence'. What can I say. Hide the kids.

Torgo is dead. Long live Torgo!

Anyone who seriously thinks this is one of the worst movies ever made hasn't seen what truly exists in the darkest recesses of cinematic hell.

worst movie ever made. but so bad, it is genius. if i could rate it both 0 and 100 i would.

the first 10 minutes of this have a dude driving in a car. so bad its good then bad again. damn.

Truly the worst film in history, and the only movie I can think of giving a 0 to. Always a good watch, and one of the true classic enigmas in cinema.

Incredibly dull, but I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of this immortally bad movie.

Saw the original, sans witty robots. I NEVER fall asleep during a movie. It doesn't matter how terrible or boring it is. I even made it through Blood Freak at 3 AM, jet lagged, in a different time zone. Congratulations Manos. You've done the impossible.

The textbook on how NOT to make a film. There's not much to say that hasn't been said by everyone who's seen it via MST3k. Such a painful experience to behold. Any review I do will be redundant, so... Trivia time! Did you know that not one, not two, but THREE of its actors committed suicide in the months and years following its release? That's quality.

Quite possibly The Worst Movie Ever Made. And there lies its allure - see it, and you could come out a stronger person. You could point to any other bad movie and say, "Well, it was better than Manos." Useful for calibrating the low end of your rating scale.

This is a really bad low budget flick, however if you get the chance to see the MST3K version then the rating goes up to 80.

The dog was the best actor. Oh and Torgo is unintentionally hilarious. Other than that, worst piece of shit ever.

Basically the antithesis of a masterpiece. It's so incredible.

Shouldn't there be a cutaway here?

crap

Rates as high as 35 for its "so awful it's quite good" ratio. But it really is awful and unwatchable without the MST3K overlay.

Not as bad as everyone says... but that's still pretty bad.

Hate to rate movies either 1 or 100 but this is the most pathetic excuses for a film of any kind ever. I can't find one positive about it. It's nowhere near the level of the "so bad it's good" group. I read somewhere that most of the people involved committed suicide within 7 or 8 yrs after completion of film. Everything about it is dreadful and less than amateurish. When you read these people who pop off with the "worst movie ever" at some forums, this is the only one they should be talking abo

I'm to assume this is for the MST3000 version, right?

5 points for Torgo. Poor Torgo.

What can be said

What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's bad, yet not one of those movies that is so bad it's good. It's just bad all over. You lose the energy to mock it about halfway in...so God bless those MST3K guys.

Junk. Pure junk. Oh, you may think you've seen garbage before, but this is no "Plan 9 From Outer Space." Horrid acting. Laughable plot containing no laughs. Special effects that are so far from being convincing that you'd think they were done ironically, but oh no. It took me a couple weeks to slog through the MST3K version, but there is no reason to watch this movie. Ever. There is no novelty value to be found here.

MST3K

I'd still watch this over Titanic.

They get at least 2 points for actually going out and making a "film".

This is it. This is really the worst movie ever made. Watch it and be...bored. Really bored. I could drink three red bulls and be fast asleep watching this.

The most ineptly made movie ever widely released--hands down. (no pun intended).

Has to be zero. The MST3K version of this, however, is damn near 100.

The Godfather of bad movies. The complete opposite of that film, and I feel everybody should see this just to get a glimpse of crappiness. Easily the worst movie ever made. Period.

can't wait for the restoration

This film makes Baby Jesus cry.

Amusing as an artifact of D-movie history. As an actual film? No thanks.

It scored high because I really enjoyed the MST3K episode.

I don't know if this is the worst - I haven't seen nearly enough movies to give a definitve answer - but it's really, really, REALLY bad. One point for winning a bet (well done Harold) and one for Torgo. Otherwise, if you insist on watching the non-MST3K version of this, at least get some friends round and do it yourself.

If Hitler was a movie, he would be this one.

There really is no contest. Worst movie ever. Unbeatable. Watch it (especially the MST3K) again and again. As someone else has pointed out before me, for the purposes of this site this movie is indispensable for calibrating the bottom of your scale. Despite the unfathomable badness, Torgo is one of the more memorable film characters you're liable to meet.
