Featured review
A creepy find on the beach.
A spacecraft explodes and the doomed astronaut's dismembered hand and forearm are discovered on the beach by an ambitious science student. The body part is put in a food closet by the fruit jars; it does not stay there for long. The 'crawling hand' instigates randem stranglings.Cheesy Sci-Fi, but fun. Over acting cast includes: Peter Breck, Rod Lauren, Alan Hale Jr. and Sirry Steffen.
