Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

The strange blending of reality and fantasy is rather engaging, generating something of a mystery alongside the chills as the hand has the potential to do the bidding of its master.

The Hand doesn't work as a psychological thriller... It doesn't work as a horror movie... every shock scene is heavily telegraphed and then fails to deliver the goods.

When The Hand is bloody, it is very bloody. Even so, there won't be enough for true aficionados of that genre. Similarly, there is just enough gore to alienate the class thriller audience.

The film has all the Ingredients of the classical horror story a creepy score, dark interiors, rainy nights, scenes shot from peculiar angles, slow tracking of the camera. And as long as the ambiguity is maintained, the picture works.
