4.0 out of 5 stars Peter Lorre is indeed one of a kind!!, August 30, 2004
By Tuco (Phoenix, Az USA) - See all my reviews
A superb and atmospheric early horror film with fine acting, super effects, tight script and haunting soundtrack. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the fantastic horror score by the great Max Steiner. Lorre is in top form and the severed hand effects(in most cases)easily stand up against 1991's Addams Family 'Thing' effects.

Worth a watch just for the magnificent Mr. Peter Lorre's delivery of the single line "It was the hand I tell you!!!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Peter Lorre horror, April 14, 1999
By A Customer
It takes a while to get the story rolling but when it does, the payoff is fantastic. Peter Lorre is so over-the-top pathetic and creepy, it's almost up there with his insanely perfect acting in "Mad Love" (1935). There has never been an actor like him and there never will be. Furthermore this story of an avenging hand must have inspired films like "The Crawling Hand", "Evil Dead 2" etc. Forget crud like "Scream" check out this near-classic horror tale.

4.0 out of 5 stars A creepily atmospheric horror tale., October 1, 2000
By Marc Russell (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Altho nominally based on a short story by W.F. Harvey, this film uses only the title (a great title!) and the basic gimmick of a living disembodied hand. A bit too slow-moving, but with several memorably scary scenes that have that perfect atmosphere you can only get with an old black-&-white horror film. The final "evil plot and hallucinations" payoff is not really satisfying, but Peter Lorre is at his unique best as a revenge-crazed madman. He dominates the film, despite his third billing. The scenes involving the living hand are technically excellent, and probably could not be improved on today.
