The frightening nightmare of a man who finds himself with hands which he can’t control!
The Hands of Orlac (1960) follows a concert pianist who loses his hands in a train accident and receives transplanted ones from a recently executed murderer. As he struggles to return to his art, he becomes tormented by the belief that the killer’s impulses live within him. This gothic horror film blends psychological dread and eerie atmosphere in a haunting study of identity, guilt, and the fear of corruption from within.
