“The Hidden Hand is such an odd little movie, it only stands at around an hour and deals with serious subjects. Yet at the same time itu0026#39;s rife with comedy leaving the whole movie feeling muddled yet oddly entertaining.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt tells the story of a crazed killer who returns home and becomes embroiled in a plot to put a womans greedy siblings through their paces as they all want her dead to claim the inheritance. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough many of the characters arenu0026#39;t great we do have some who stand out and steal the entire movie. Ontop of that it looks amazing for itu0026#39;s time and delivers both chills and genuine belly laughs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s hard to categorize The Hidden Hand due to itu0026#39;s extremes in content but I canu0026#39;t take away from itu0026#39;s quality. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFun, gripping and fascinating.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Good:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMilton Parsons u0026amp; Willie Bestu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFantastic storyu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGreat executionu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLooks amazing for 1942u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Bad:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTad shortu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWeirdly constructedu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThings I Learnt From This Movie:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Hidden Hand is what would happen if Edgar Alan Poe made a movie with Disney!”
