Russ G Caine was [is?] a fine actor, but he had a bad habit of never turning down a bad script, so much so that his body of work is badly tainted. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Watchable thriller, Michael Caine holds it all together, with his strong performance. Mystery goes back and forth if all the grisly events are supernatural, or something more disturbing , Big demerit for the lousy, cheap looking fx that really lessen the impact, Director Oliver Stone has a cameo as a bum Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/31/25 Full Review dave s While bickering with his wife while driving, acclaimed cartoonist Jonathan Lansdale (Michael Caine) manages to have his hand lopped off in an unlikely and grisly accident. Before you know it, those around him begin to lose their lives at the hand, for lack of a better term, of what appears to be the disembodied hand. Despite the ridiculous synopsis, The Hand, an early effort from writer and director Oliver Stone, isn't as ridiculously horrible as it sounds. While that's not exactly a ringing endorsement, the movie rarely stoops low enough to cause excessive eye-rolling or laugh-out-loud guffaws, but probably would have been better suited as an episode of something along the lines of Night Gallery or The Twilight Zone. On the bright side, Michael Caine gives a decent performance and the film, while not all that scary, certainly succeeds in creating an atmosphere of dread and confusion. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Is a classic pre slasher era horror movie. Back when even a horror movie could be a real movie, and not just a low effort genre movie. Complete with end twists, whats real situations all kinds of extra effort that wouldnt be in a horror movie say 3 years later. And Michael Caine. He kills it in this. Shows even back then he could do anything. Recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is fantastic. It might be Michael Caine's greatest role. He, as they say, chews the scenery! Oliver Stone is great. The only reason I can think that people don't like this movie is that they didn't understand it, and thought we were supposed to think the hand was real? The movie is great.
