The Severed Arm (1973)


Media Cinema Group
Directed by Thomas S. Alderman
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(VHS, Video Gems)

Moody early 70s film that rises above its low budget origins. A group of men get trapped in a cave for over a month. They draw lots to decide who gets his arm severed so it can be eaten by the remaining men. Just as they finish the deed they are rescued. Years later members of the group are being stalked by someone who cuts off their arms in violent attacks. A twist(ed) ending and electronic soundtrack help to make this an eerie entry in the world of obscure VHS tapes.
