Curse of the Stone Hand

Curse of the Stone Hand

WHAT LURID SECRET -- LIED BEYOND THAT HIDDEN DOOR!

1965 · 67 min · ★ 2.9 · Horror, Drama

Hands sculpted in stone, hidden in the niches of an ancient house, are regarded as sources of a curse by the present inhabitant, a country gambling addict. Indeed, he goes to an early grave after experiencing bankruptcy. The house passes to another family, one of whose sons becomes obsessed with the hands. (A cross-editing of principal material from two Chilean films, LA CASA ESTA VACIA and LA DAMA DE LA MUERTE, with the addition of new American-made footage, to create a single story.)

Directed by Carlos Hugo Christensen · Written by Jorge Janise
