Love the screencaps of the accident-- I'm one of the sickos who rewound it, like, six times.<BR/>So, I was kind of surprised by how seriously the film took itself. I actually really liked it, and pretty much anything featuring a nutso Michael Caine is ok in my book.<BR/>On a side note, is it me or did this movie contain the most odious array of secondary characters ever? The bitchy wife? The unstable psychology teacher? The barely literate, mentally challenged marginally attractive Michael-you-can-do-better-than-her townie Stella? Though as an artist, I did enjoy her impossibly crappy sketchbook.<BR/>Weird, good little flick.

I've seen her in a bar fight. The giant boxing glove on her drawing hand looks ridiculous, but she more than compensates with it by being able to throw pen nibs like <I>shuriken</I>.<BR/><BR/>And, hey, look over there, Spawn of Zoltan!!!

No wait that is not strong enough. Dull to the Nth degree. Yeah, thats it. Not really scary, or creepy. Just kinda sad.<BR/>I remember when I was a kid seeing this for the first time, I was kinda scared. Now, seeing it again, years later, I was disappointed.

Some VP would say that it's kind of boring and they'd go with the make out scene, which would be a shame since the entire build up is handled so well here. It simmers for a while before it finally gets with the real killin. And, I'm okay with that. I think it's the build up that really seperates The Hand from some cheesy SciFi Original (that I probably also would have enjoyed...)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663519069406041482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-51676394063253509072007-12-04T19:07:00.000-05:002007-12-04T19:07:00.000-05:00here's our handiwork (zing!)evilontwolegs review o...here's our handiwork (zing!)<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.evilontwolegs.com/index.php?/archives/30-Review-of-THE-HAND-1981.html" REL="nofollow">evilontwolegs review of The Hand</A>Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744137493043443541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-25548125948036018922007-12-04T19:05:00.000-05:002007-12-04T19:05:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744137493043443541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-23817564690682624902007-12-04T19:04:00.000-05:002007-12-04T19:04:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744137493043443541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-34974554139822655172007-12-04T18:59:00.000-05:002007-12-04T18:59:00.000-05:00Dammit, you exposed my eeeeevil plan to only link ...Dammit, you exposed my eeeeevil plan to only link back to <I>myself</I>, so people get trapped in some sort of Final Girl-flavored Mobius Strip!<BR/><BR/>Wait, I mean...uh, I fixed it.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-72059493855425869342007-12-04T18:52:00.000-05:002007-12-04T18:52:00.000-05:00Oh, I finally got my review semi-done in time, I'm...Oh, I finally got my review semi-done in time, I'm so excited!<BR/><BR/>Oh, but that link that says it goes to MY page links to YOUR page right now.<BR/><BR/>My review is here...<BR/>http://bloodymarysmovierevue.blogspot.com/2007/12/hand.html<BR/><BR/>Thanks for another great pick, Stacie!Bloody Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324062700605282839noreply@blogger.com
