Spaceman possessed in space by some evil force. At his bidding, his friends on the ground blowup the ship on re-entry. His hand/arm lives (still evil) and some cheeseball guy and his girlfriend find it on the beach. Guy becomes controlled by the hand that can't stop killing. Excellent BAD acting, some great lines, lots of fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars The hand! It moved!!!, January 26, 2012

This review is from: The Crawling Hand (DVD)

This is one of those movies they showed on TV that scared the crap outa' me as a kid! I was a little too old to get nightmares (like "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" gave me) but some of the scenes were very memorable and a little disturbing. There's something about an amputated arm crawling around at night and leaping at peoples throats! And that ending with the hungry alley cats chewing the skin off of the arm! Classic! It's just an old sci-fi B-movie so if you're an uptight cinema critic, blow it out your ass! Turn the lights out, pop some popcorn and enjoy it!!!

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Crawling Hand (DVD)

I have to agree with the reviewer who titled their review "Thank Goodness for Kevin Murphy." Kevin's Tom Servo is where MST3K really fell into place and found its comedy heart. Elvis Weinstein as Servo had his moments, but Kevin turned the little gumball machine into a real character. The beginnings of MST3K often look like just that, beginnings. A formula had yet to be worked out and the jokes don't shine like they do later. Thankfully, The Crawling Hand is actually a pretty likeable movie with some interesting B-movie ideas. As there is more silence between jokes with this MST3K crew, you get to listen to great big chunks of this movie and it's actually pretty good. This show is definitely one of the better ones of the 2nd season ... the third season would hit the ground running and become what we all know (knew) and loved.
