The Beast With Five Fingers

A reclusive wheelchair-bound concert pianist comes to a mysterious death when his chair – with him in it – is pushed down a huge flight of stairs. While the relatives bicker about who should get what from his massive estate, even stranger thing are starting to happen. As the body count starts to rise those left alive start to believe the house is haunted by the severed hands of a dead pianist. Sure, it’s a really weird idea, and director Robert Florey uses every trick in his arsenal to keep the weirdness cranked up to 11 until the final reel. The end result is a bit overheated, but the time you spend getting there is a lot of fun.
