An unhinged tale of twisted love and terrifying madness! A demented doctor (Peter Lorre) obsessed with a beautiful actress (Frances Drake) replaces the wounded hands of her pianist husband (Colin Clive) with those from a knife-throwing killer. But dangerous complications ensue when the new hands develop a mind of their own. German emigré director Karl Freund’s creepy classic is an underseen ‘30s horror masterpiece, atmospheric and bizarre, with brilliant black & white cinematography by Gregg Toland & Chester Lyons, plus a truly unsettling performance from Lorre.
