A poor painter who is rejected by his love for being unsuccessful sales his soul to purchase a hand from a restaurant owner that makes him a great artist. He is able to win her love and has instant success in the art world. He must get rid of the cursed hand before he dies or his soul will be lost to the devil. He also finds out that the devil does not always deal fairly.
This is another terrific 1940's horror film. The story is very similar Faust and The Monkey's Paw. It is well done, suspenseful, and interesting from start to finish. I thought the ending was just a little weak but besides that the movie kept me engrossed.
The cinematography is great and the story is well done. Parts of the film had an expressionist look to them (in particular the sinner's carnival scene at the end).
The VHS tape that I saw was the British dubbed version, The Devil's Hand. I typically hate dubbing, but the dubbed voices were done very well. Overall, I recommend that you get a copy of this film if you can find one.
