The Beast With Five Fingers (1946)

Starring: Peter Lorre
Director: Robert Florey


Premise:
After a pianist dies, several mysterious murders begin taking place. Is it the work of a person or an evil force still residing in the house?

My Take:
Peter Lorre was simply one of the best actors of his era (not just horror actors). He makes any movie a pleasure to watch. This movie is no exception.
The tale which rides the line of mystery and local superstition. It's a rather typical studio movie from the Hollywood's Golden Age, but that doesn't make the movie any less enjoyable.

Rating: In the middle
