Hotel Torgo

2004 documentary

Rating: 12/20

Plot: Filmmaker follows around Bernie Rosenblum who is apparently the only surviving cast or crew member from Manos: The Hands of Fate. He revisits memories and talks about the current interest in the worst movie ever made.

There's some interesting stuff here. The director was a nutcase. Torgo was supposed to be half-goat (that explains his legs) and the actor who played him committed suicide after becoming addicted to pain medication he needed because he wore his goat-man-leg prosthetics wrong. Everybody associated with this thing, in fact, either died or mysteriously vanished. The documentary has a lack of focus, but it's definitely worth seeing (and short enough) for anybody who appreciates the genius of Manos: The Hands of Fate and wants to know more.
