Where to Watch The Hand
- Rob MacKinnonApril 18, 2026This almost works, but not quite. Despite the hand effects being pretty good, it just can’t quite get past the goofiness of it all. Still, some decent suspense and a scenery chewing Michael Caine descending further and further into madness, measured by the increasing craziness of his hair. I knew of this film mostly from the SCTV parody, “My Bloody Hand”, with Dave Thomas as Michael Caine.
