The Hand

Michael Caine stars in THE HAND, and unforgettably striking piece of Grand Guignol and a strange and terrifying excursion into the horror that will keep you guessing as it scares the daylights out of you. Caine plays a gifted cartoonist called John Lansdale whose life is shattered when his drawing hand is accidentally servered. As he tries to adjust to his horrendous ordeal, a strange miasma of evil seeps slowly into his consciousness. Before our very eyes he is transformed from a dedicated husband and devoted father into a grinning, incoherent madman who sets out to eliminate anyone who stands in his way. . . Based on the novel "The Lizard's Tail" which draws its title from the fact that the lizard's amputated tail continues to move - one of the most impressive features of tis journey into terror is the special effects devised by Carlo Rambaldi, the man responsible for designing E.T. THE EXTRA TRERRESTIAL. What Mr. Rambaldi has come up with this time, you must see for yourself. . .
