When Bill Chrashank loses his arm in a car accident, he has the arm of an executed murderer grafted on in its place.
The only problem, as he soon discovers, is that the arm is possessed by a force he cannot control.....
This used to be a firm favourite of mine when I was a teen, here in the UK, it was a straight to video release, and not many people saw it, so it vanished almost without a trace.
Seeing it almost twenty years later, it's aged pretty badly, and although it's a schlocky, hokey horror, it does take the main character too seriously, as supporting characters are a lot more entertaining, and make it the B-movie it should be.
It's not Fahey's fault, he's a great actor, and can do nuts no problem, but he just spends the majority of the movie maundering around, cutting himself shaving, or shouting at his kids.
The final third makes up for the dull first two, by going bonkers, and upping the gore factor, which, for 1991, is pretty graphic.
So it's one of those movies that isn't as good as you'd like to remember, but still watchable fluff.
