From what I have gathered, this seems to be a campy spoof of the 1924 silent film, "The Hands Of Orlac," or its American remake in 1935, "Mad Love" with Peter Lorre. Both involve hand surgery gone awry when one or both of the hands become evil at the owner's expense.
Having seen the trailer, this looks like one boy gets his hand possessed, and cannot stop it, even with his other hand, from doing evil. It could be a camp blast, dolls, and appearing in this film is a rather young Jessica Alba.
Certainly, this film is better suited to the humorous tone of the squad than last month, when they had the temerity to show "Rosemary's Baby." A mistake that, hopefully will not be made again. Same with "The Bad Seed."
All of us here in our Bay Ridge enclave are more curious than excited. But the potential for laughs seems unlimited.
How did I miss this film in 1999?
See you tonight at 8PM, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
