In Praise of Hands Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
