Hand

Vernon Paris (James Stapleton) is an up and coming concert pianist. One night, his cab driver takes his eyes off the road to show Vernon some pictures of his own piano-playing son. This results in a terrible crash, leaving Vernon's hands mangled beyond repair. Across town, someone is gunned down in the street. He is D.O.A., but his hands come in... um, handy as replacements for Vernon's destroyed appendages. Vernon's doctor (Paul Lukather) stitches the hands on and hopes for the best. Well, Vernon doesn't like the idea and sets out on a killing spree. He starts with his girlfriend who never visited him in the hospital, and who is about to have a new guy over for dinner. Vernon knocks her over a table, sending candles rolling into curtains that must have been the world's greatest fire hazard, as they burst into flame immediately! The girl goes up even faster! Vernon goes on to kill the son of the (now blind) cab driver, crushing the kid's hands for good measure. Vernon starts on the doctor's surgical team next, killing a young intern and his girlfriend (played by a young Sally M*A*S*H Kellerman). Now a full-fledged madman, Vernon has a final showdown with his doctor in a deserted concert hall.
