:shock: :shock: Okay, I am watching this movie, can't find out the name of it but it is a "comedy horror", if such a description exists?

So far, this brilliant surgeon's hands have decided to rebel and "free themselves from THE body" :shock: They strangled his wife, and at one point, when the surgeon tried to call on the phone for help, the hands were punching him :shock: Next, the right hand CHOPPED off the left hand :shock: . The left hand has gone "missing" and is <ehem> recruiting other hands. So now, you see all these other hands who are part of the revolution :shock:

It is hilarious in some respects because you see the left hand "scurrying" across the floor to recruit. There were some funny scenes when the surgeon was sleeping and the two hands (before the left hand was "freed") were talking to each other :shock: :lol: the movement of the fingers in speech mood.

I have never seen anything like this but the concept ... talk about crazy! I can well imagine the creators having a laugh over the concept/when they were making the movie. :lol:

The concept is totally unrealistic but :lol: oh boy!

What is the most unlikely storyline for a movie you have ever seen?

I think this one wins the prize for me :lol:

Oh, the music is excellent though! Talk about the music setting the mood? You have "the rebellion", so horror, but then this very comical "fun" music :lol:

"The Hands of Orloff"? I used to be a big fan of the crawling hand movie. There was "Beast with Five Fingers" which I think had Peter Lorre, as well as "The Crawling Hand." All precursors to Thing on the Addams Family.

Best comedy-horror films I've seen:

"The Howling," directed by Joe Dante. The ultimate werewolf movie, and I don't want to give anything away, but it's a send-up parody of the werewolf movie as a way to satirize pop psychology, media, and the way that violence is both venerated, critiqued, and ultimately accepted in a society that relies on the violence it supposedly condemns.

"Fright Night" opened the vampire movie and made it hip, before Anne Rice came on the scene. Christopher Sarandon is fabulous as the blood-sucker and Roddy McDowall is wonderful as the actor-turned-unlikely-vampire hunter.

Most improbably plot:

"Driving Miss Daisy," which is the 20th century revival of Harriet Beacher Stowe.

Best add "Army of Darkness" to the comedy/horror list, that movie is hilarious.
