Creature with the Blue Hand + Web of the Spider 11/05/24

aka Die Blaue Hand.   Is a German krimi a murder mystery, a horror film, or what?  Reviewer Charlie Largent checks out an adaptation of an Edgar Wallace page-turner about a series of ghastly murders; as it features Klaus Kinski, the disc company has coined the not-bad term ‘Euro-Kinski.’ We’re eager to know how it looks. Included is Web of the Spider, Antonio Margheriti’s remake of his own earlier ‘Danza Macabra.’ The special edition adds an alternate version of Creature with the Blue Hand and an audio commentary by Stephen Jones and Kim Newman. On Blu-ray from Film Masters.
