The Beast with Five Fingers Ratings & Reviews
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
Peter Lorre is so good.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Peter Lorre in one of his best, and one of director Robert Florey's visual and psychological best.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Given the tenuous state of horror in 1946, it acquits itself beautifully.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
As it torments Lorre, the hand becomes a manifestation of the metaphorical notion of a hand tugging us toward our destiny or reaching from the past to punish us; an alternate, utterly appropriate title might be 'The Hand of Fate.'
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Wastes a captivating original premise and some fine performances with a stiff script and a cop-out ending.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Really creepy showcase for Lorre with a botched ending.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This is fairly spooky despite its silly story and modest budget
Variety
Variety Staff
It gives more credit for intelligence than the average thriller.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Since it is not cricket to divulge too many details, suffice it to say that Curt Siodmak's script explains the macabre goings-on psychologically and otherwise.
TV Guide
A taut, genuinely scary psychodrama which gave vent to Lorre's weird mannerisms and produced some marvelous special effects created by director Florey.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Mordant humor and good performances by Lorre and Naish work in the film's favor.
