A rare horror film from Warner Bros but it was directed by Robert Florey, who had some experience in the genre, and written by Curt Siodmark, who had a lot. Andrea King is terrible and Robert Alda dull but the real stars are Peter Lorre, who is superb as the twitchy servant, and the severed hand.
Some of this is very good - the hand attacks especially. There is too much non horror, it takes a while to get going, J Carroll Naish's comic detective got on my nerves, but it is fun.
