The Hands of Orlac Ratings & Reviews
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
One of the most impressive horror films of the silent era.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Peter Lorre's auspicious first appearance in a Hollywood-made film.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A classic psychological thriller which charts one man's slow descent into madness.
New York Times
Most of the plot is worked out adroitly, but there is one unnecessary mechanical twist, which is employed detract from part of the horror.

Emanuel Levy
Classic of German Expressionism
Variety
Variety Staff
Drab photography and over-footage devoted to long gloomy hallways make for repetition.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Mark R. Leeper
This original version runs a little slowly by modern standards, but it has one of the great performances by the under-appreciated Conrad Veidt.
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
Like his more famous The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Robert Wiene's The Hands of Orlac is ponderous but indelible.
