MANOS: The Hands of Felt is a puppet musical re-imagining of the cult classic MANOS: The Hands of Fate.

Warren. With song and dance numbers. And puppets.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

First of all, if you don't know the original film that inspired this show, you won't really get a lot of the humour. Fans of the movie (and the second life it has enjoyed, thanks to Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax) should definitely watch it. The show mixes up a spoof 'making of the movie' story with the actual plot (such as it is) of the movie itself. It isn't a quick, lazy knock-off. This is a smartly-written and funny tribute.I'm not sure why the guy who plays Torgo isn't (at the time of this review) credited on IMDb. His performance is a stand-out, from the voice to the gait.But everybody involved should be proud of what they have done. Seek it out, either online or on physical media!
