Hilarious horrors
Ghastly high-camp Mexican horrors with Stuart Whitman as a Priest attempting to help Samantha Eggar in her battle against a murderous demon which possesses people’s left hands.

Whitman’s acting is suitably over-the-top and Eggar gives the low-budget production more class than it deserves. Russ Meyer starlet Haji has a small role as a gangster’s girl and Erika Carlsson receives prominent billing for her challenging role of “Nurse Morgan”: a sexy blonde cleavage-revealing nurse who has about 45 seconds of screen time and who’s only dialogue is screaming out “NOOOOOO!!!” (See Alicia Encinas’ role in “The Bees”.)

Infinitely compelling and enjoyable in its badness, the film is enlivened by several grisly/hilarious horror sequences and quite a few genuinely suspenseful situations. The funniest sequences involve assorted possessed people finding various imaginative ways of removing their left hands. Of course as soon as the hand has been removed it scurries off in search of a new victim and the process begins again.

Unlike Alfredo Zacharias’ other opus “The Bees” (1978) it appears the makers really were attempting to make a good film this time. They almost made it but fortunately there is enough terrible acting, laughable dialogue (possessed cop to a plastic surgeon: “cut my hand off or I’ll kill you!”) and high-camp hilarity to keep any bad-movie buff enthralled.

The film apparently sat on the shelf for three years; release of “The Hand” starring Michael Caine undoubtedly encouraged distributors to finally release this to cash-in on the living-hand craze.

Dumb and Entertaining
Few premises are as silly as a severed hand coming after people, but Demonoid embraces the silliness and ends up being very entertaining. It all starts at a Mexican mine where this demonoid hand is uncovered and immediately starts making evil things happen. After the hand kills her husband, Samantha Eggar decides to go after it with the help of a priest played by Stuart Whitman and hilarity ensues. You have to give these actors credit for keeping a straight face the entire time. Talk about an Oscar snub.
