This was a thoroughly fascinating movie to watch. A must see for fans of murder mysteries. Thoroughly enjoyable to see the development of this genre. Thank you so very much for making this available.

A truly great film. There is a great deal of info on this film and was often borrowed from beside the two remakes. Amazing this print has survived.

This is a top-quality restoration job; an excellent print with a music track written for this version. The pace of the film is rather slow but it goes to an ending as startling as that of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". The story: his hands are all-important to concert pianist Paul Orlac, and they are damaged beyond repair in a terrible train crash. His surgeon is able to transplant new hands from a freshly executed killer. Orlac's over-active imagination and a malevolent predator plunge him into madness and despair. Then comes the startling conclusion.
