The Hand

Saw it when I was twenty, but the creepiness scared me as if I was five. This is no masterpiece, but the images have haunted me for decades. Worth a watch.

Oliver Stone's second movie was this classy, big-studio, high-budget horror movie which has a memorable, extremely well-done "freak accident" scene and great special effects by Carlo Rambaldi, but plods along too slowly, especially considering that the central big "twist" becomes obvious quickly (if you think you've guessed what's happening right from the first murder....you're probably right). Michael Caine (who claims he did this movie only to pay for his new garage!) has some intense acting moments, but at other times he seems to be trying to stifle his laughter at his own dialogue! Nevertheless, this would make a compatible double bill with his other bizarre shocker from the early 1980s, "The Island". ** out of 4.

I really don't know what's wrong with this movie to get an average rating around 5. There was never a dull moment in this movie. Everybody acted perfectly in this movie. Story is excellent, especially the end, that was a very clever double-twist end i.e a twist followed by another twist. Since it's a supernatural story, we need not worry about logic. Lovers of thriller movies should not ignore this movie.

This is one of the most terrific movie of M Caïne. The music & noises are excellent. The cast is perfect, secondary actors and rednecks are really ugly. The story is a variation on the theme of the lizard tail. See this movie if you find it !
