Body Parts (1991)

WHERE DOES EVIL LIVE, THE HEART, THE MIND OR THE FLESH?

Body Parts is a bone-chilling tale about a medical experiment gone wrong. After a crime psychologist (Fahey) loses his arm and nearly his life in a grisly car accident, he undergoes a daring medical operation to have a donor arm grafted onto his body. But after the operation, the arm starts to take on a violent life of its own, striking out against Bill’s wife and children. Bill is driven to learn about the donor’s identity – a horrifying discovery that delivers him into a world of unimaginable terror.

Eric Red’s underrated 90s horror macabre is overdue for reappraisal.
