The Beast with Five Fngers has to be one of the best classic horrors ever made, along with The Haunting (1963).
A pianist is killed, possibly murdered after he falls down the stairs in his creepy mansion. After his death, strange things start happening including the piano playing on its own accord and the strange behaviour of the secretary. Then murders start to take place and these turn out to be the work of the pianist's severed hand, which haunts the mansion.
With creepy music by Max Steinor, a howling wind and windows slamming open and shut, all these things make this movie very scary.
The excellent cast includes a creepy performance by Peter Lorre (Mad Love, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea), Robert Alda, Andrea King and J Carrol Naish (The Monster Maker).
This is a must for all horror fans. Excellent and scary.
Rating: 5 stars out of 5.
