The Beast with Five Fingers1947

Horror Vault's take

When a renowned pianist dies under shadowy circumstances at his remote Italian estate, the murders don't stop — and terrified locals whisper that his severed hand has taken on a sinister life of its own. A brooding, old-dark-house mystery steeped in dread, the film draws its menace from what may — or may not — be crawling through the shadows. Peter Lorre delivers a memorably unhinged performance as a scholar whose grip on reality grows increasingly fragile. Classic Hollywood horror at its most deliciously gothic and strange.
