The Sound Of One Hand Clasping...,
By Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein "bigfootsalienbaby" (under the rubble) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Crawling Hand (DVD)
Peter Breck (Big Valley) plays a very intense scientist with the space program. How intense? So intense that I expected his head to sail off at any minute! You see, one of his astronauts (named Lockhart) has gone nuts, pleading with ground control to "push the red button" and blow up his ship. They comply, detonating Lockhart. Meanwhile, a young med student and his girl go swimmig on a california beach. Low and behold, they find a severed arm in an astronaut uniform sleeve! Paul (the med student) comes back for it later, taking it home in a shower curtain. He hides it behind some preserves in his landlady's pantry. The arm starts creeping around, knocking some jars over, waking the landlady, who must investigate. Of course, she gets choked bug-eyed! Unfortunately, the hand doesn't do much else, as it possesses Paul and uses him to cause further mayhem. Enter Alan Hale jr. as the portly sheriff. The rest is pretty dull. Watch it late at night and don't feel too bad if you fall asleep...

Rhino's DVD of Crawling Hand has Nice Price,

This review is from: The Crawling Hand (DVD)
This is a review of the Rhino DVD for the Crawling Hand. It is not a review of the MST3K version. I really enjoy this old turkey. Maybe it is the crude acting, the inane dialogue, or the fact the Alan Hale, Jr (The Skipper) and Allison Hayes (Attack of the 50-ft Woman) are in it. I also think there are some genuinely good moments (okay, they may be few). First a few comments about the plot, before I commnet on the DVD.The movie starts out well as the Earth has lost contact with the space probe returning from the moon. After we learn that the oxygen is gone in the capsule, we hear a voice asking for help. It is the poor pilot whose body has been invaded by some alien creature. He begs to be blown up and eventually is. His hand of course survives. The plot slows considerably after this as a college student finds the hand in California. Let me tell you, this kid is no actor (whew!). His girlfriend is even worse. Anyway, the student hides the hand in his boarding home and it prompty kills the landlady. He figures out that the hand is guilty, but Alan Hale (as the sheriff) is positive it is the boy. There is lots of fun until the movie finally ends. I won't spoil it, but you will love the hearse drivers. Now, the DVD. Rhino's picture quality is quite good, but I have two problems with this DVD. First, there are no extras, not even a trailer. Secondly, you have to turn the volume up to almost full to hear the soundtrack and in doing so it sounds distorted. Not terrible, but annoying just the same. Overall, it is worth it, because there will probably not be a better release. Just remembered the other reason I like this film, it includes the Rivington's version of, "The Bird is the Word."

As a kid this one scared me for months,

This review is from: The Crawling Hand (DVD)
I just knew there was a hand crawling up the bed at night. Maybe 5 years old was a bit too young to be seeing this, but my cousins talked me into it.Fun movie for teens.
