Michael Caine isn’t sleepwalking and Oliver Stone brings some style but The Hand is exactly the pulp you expect and, frankly, the “why” is a little on the nose. On the other hand, it gets to a campy culmination that shows everyone involved knew what kind of movie they were making. Not a pinnacle of the killer body part sub genre, but not bad.

Can we just talk about Michael Caine’s hair? 

Very strange but fun movie. I had vague memories from seeing this as a kid. I remembered the scene as soon as I saw it tonight, the hand in the bathtub! I mean a movie about a severed hand has a life of its own causing nurseries chaos? Then again we had, Thing.
