The Severed Arm1973
“THERE'S A PSYCHO LOOSE WITH AN AXE!”
Directed by Thomas S. Alderman
The premise
Trapped in a cave, five men cut the arm off of another companion in order to ward off starvation. After they are saved, their victim seeks revenge on them one by one.
Horror Vault's take
When a group of men make a desperate and horrifying decision during a caving disaster, they believe their ordeal is behind them once they're rescued. Years later, someone with a very personal grudge begins hunting them down one by one. This early proto-slasher channels raw paranoia and moral dread as its survivors realize that some debts can never be forgiven. The shadow of what they did underground follows each of them back into the light.
