“Hand of Death” (1962) – Beastly Brevity
"Hand of Death" is called a science fiction/horror movie but based on its length, a measly 60 minutes, it might be better described as a long lost "Outer Limits" TV episode. Not knocking it but this movie is a whirlwind of scenes of lab work, human to monster transformation and chases. And then it's over!
A doctor works on a nerve agent for the Military but becomes exposed to his own bad gas and it doesn't do him any favors. You've heard of Leatherface? This monster should be called Rubberface. With his built-in tire treads across his face in tow, the progressively unhinged monster meets his maker in rapid fashion. What else would you expect from this quickie? Features the great John Agar.
Take my word. You'll find something here you like.
