I am a huge MST3K and Rifftrax fan, so I went into this with a lot of hope. It did not disappoint. It had all the ticks and craziness of the original.

This movie was made by someone who loved the original "Manos" The Hands of Fate and it shows in every scene.

The dark comedy subgenre, also known as black comedy, combines humor with elements of tragedy, morbidity, or darker themes. Dark comedies often explore serious or taboo subjects, such as death, crime, dysfunction, and societal issues, while infusing these topics with humor to create an unusual and often thought-provoking contrast. The humor in dark comedies is typically edgy, satirical, and often unsettling, challenging traditional comedic norms.
