Die blaue Hand is a pretty wild movie on its own terms. It crams a lot of bizarre digressions into a mere 74 minutes, not counting some stuff reportedly inserted after the fact by an American distributor. You get a room full of hanging mannequins, a butler who reveals himself as the disgruntled ex-husband of the Emerson materfamilias, and a second inspection of the insane stripper, on top of everything I’ve already mentioned. If Kinski recedes during the story, Karl Lange emerges as an awesome looking villain in the Germanic Caligari tradition of evil asylum keepers, while Diana Koerner makes Myra an appealing heroine. Visually, even in something well short of restored form, Hand looks great in moody, Bava-influenced color, and the admitted datedness of the music is a point in the film’s favor as far as I’m concerned. However faithful he may or may not be to Edgar Wallace, Vohrer came up with a vivid modernized mix of the Mabusian crime tradition and the American “old dark house” style. A film like this was probably campy when it first appeared, but if you can tolerate its absurdities you’ll probably be as entertained by this brisk adventure as I was.

Quote:
Somewhere in the distant future … the United Nations have decided on a new system of imprisonment as an answer to escalating street violence: VORTEX, a mysterious and completely isolated prison complex that is said to securely keep anyone arriving from ever going back.

Vincent, a constructional engineer in his mid-thirties, is attacked by a man in a dark alleyway. To protect his own life, he shoots the man. Vincent must stand trial for murder. Despite his protest and affirmations that he only acted in self-defense, he is found guilty and sent to VORTEX, where according to the judge, he will have to fulfill a certain “rate” each week.

Once in VORTEX, he realizes that he has been cast out into what is in fact a whole subterranean city solely inhabited by criminals. And his “rate” is that from now on he is supposed to execute one fellow prisoner per week. Deeply shocked and repelled, Vincent refuses to kill his first assigned victim. But the system is merciless: if he doesn’t comply, he himself will be assigned to be killed. Vincent is drawn deeper and deeper into a vortex of fear, aggression and violence, with no apparent way out …
