Fate Saves Workprint of Manos: The Hands of Fate

Posted by samzenpus on from the won't-somebody-please-think-of-torgo? dept.

SEWilco writes "One of the worst horror movies, Manos: The Hands of Fate, has come back from the grave. The work print was rediscovered during a move, and an attempt has begun to transfer it to digital HD medium." If you've never had the joy of watching MST3K's treatment of Manos: The Hands of Fate you're missing out on 90 mins of magic.

    The transfer is in HD on to a digital medium. Stop being such a literal douchebag, fuck.

    Not that this movie is any good, but such works SHOULD be transferred to digital/HD media before they are lost forever. How many classic silents are lost forever? If only the studios hadn't lost their copies... Anyway, continuing a trend to digitize movie archives? Nothing to see here, move along.

    Have you even looked at the quality comparison between the DVD release and the current work?
