4.0 out of 5 stars I Always Knew That Left Hands Were EEEvil!..., July 26, 2010

This review is from: Demonoid [VHS] (VHS Tape)

DEMONOID concerns a demonized left hand that creeps, crawls, leaps, and kills! It also possesses those it chooses, and uses them to further its agenda of eeevil! Samantha Eggar (A NAME FOR EVIL, THE BROOD) tracks the horrid hand, after it destroys her husband. Stuart Whitman (NIGHT OF THE LEPUS) plays a priest w/ all of the enthusiasm of soggy communion wafers. DEMONOID is much maligned (some of it deserved), but is still better than a lot of what passed for "horror" in the 80s! Never a dvd release? Why not??...

This review is from: Demonoid [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Demonoid: Messenger of Death (1981) is certainly not horror cinema at its best, but it's the kind of film I enjoy. There are a surprising degree of horror films built on the proposition that the human hand can act individually (usually to annihilate people) if severed from the body or if surgically attached to a new body. In a Mexican mine, some ancient demon possesses the left hand of a woman. Stuart Whitman and Samantha Eggar in the present, battle against that ancient bloodthirsty demon which possesses people's left hands.

The Mexican director showed great imagination with an obviously low budget. A very interesting horror film, low production values aside.

Come on! Samantha Egger! She did this movie a blessing. Origonal idea, but the budget was low. Still worth a watch. Anyway two years later Samantha went on to appear in Curtains, a classic! Any fan of Ms. Egger will enjoy this movie!
