Rating: Summary: This is one fun mystery/horror movie Review: Creature with the Blue Hand was one of my favorite late night films from my childhood, but this video has added footage that was filmed much later by someone other than the films original crew. This detracts from the original body of work as it looks out of place and out of sync with the rest of the film. The dialogue and acting, not to mention the fact that the actors used for this additional footage look like they belong in the 80's and not the 60's, are truely laughable. it can be ignored and one shouldn't let it interfer with the enjoyment of the original work. This film was adapted from an Edgar Wallace mystery novel about twin brothers, one of whom has been committed to the local mental institution for committing murder. However, did they put the right brother in the asylum? This is a movie full of atmosphere and plot twists (more than most games of twister even). It was directed by Alfred Vohrer, who during the 60's directed many films based on the stories of Edgar Wallace. This, however, is one of his better efforts. If you are familiar with his films from this period of his work, you will recognize a great deal of the cast as having been in a number of his other films. Even though there was additional footage added, this film still holds up and is a great work in the German Krimi genre.
Rating: Summary: Klaus Kinski x two Review: Edgar Wallace story also known as The Creature With The Blue Hand/Die Blaue Hand. One of a number of German films adapted from Edgar Wallace stories. Kinski plays twin brothers, one of whom escapes from a mental institution run by a madman.
Rating: Summary: a very good old horror flick Review: I bought this movie expecting it to be one of those films that are "so bad they're good." In actuality, this is not a bad movie at all if you're into classic horror or weird suspense movies. It has a great story and better than average acting for this type of movie. Here is my list of pros and cons for this movie. Pros: a great creepy old mansion, an awesome mad Doctor, an unhealthy dose of blood and gore, a cool butler, plenty of action, solid acting from all the main cast members, and a great plot. Cons: Although the overall story is logical from start to finish, there are some details toward the end of the film that don't seem to make sense. I think this movie could have been a "5" if more attention was paid to detail.

Rating: Summary: I ENJOYED THIS MOVIE Review: I THINK THIS IS AN UNDERRATED FILM. IT IS BEST ENJOYED NOT TAKING TOO SERIOUSLY.THE PLOT HAS MANY TWISTS AND TURNS.I PARTICURELY LIKED THE BUTLER;HE STEALS EVERY SCENE HE IS IN.
Rating: Summary: A Pretty Good Movie If You Like B Movies Like I Do! Review: This is a pretty good movie. It lagged at a few points but overall it was great. It was full of blood and gore but was much higher quality then most movies of this genre.(not that that would make any difference to me) It also had a good story that was more involved then most B Movies. Its definitely worth checking out.
