Other than Jeff Fahey's over the top performance, this is a silly film. Basically an updated Hands of Orlac, where a killers body parts are used in a transplant and begin taking him over, since he wants to get put back together, there isn't much originality. Barely even a popcorn film.
... View MorePsychologist Bill (Jeff Fahey) interviews a convicted killer and goes home to his wife Karen (Kim Delaney) discussing his wants and desires. The next day while in traffic, a tire breaks off a car's axle and Bill immediately stops his car to avoid the accident. Unfortunately, the truck ignores the ensuing chaos and crashes into Bill's bumper. Bill crashes through the rear window. At the hospital, Dr. Agatha Webb (Lindsay Duncan) gives Bill an arm transplantation. Everything seems to be going fine during rehabilitation until Bill suffers hallucinations. Jeff Fahey carries "Body Parts" all the way to the inane finale. The first act meanders, the second act is okay, but the third act is completely off-the-rails. Impressive stunt work, creative murders, and an insane car chase await the unexpected viewer.Corny dialogue plagues the screen. Suspension of disbelief would be an understatement for this film. Essentially, "Body Parts" rips off "The Hands of Orlac."

... View MoreLosing a body part can cause a psychological effect on a person, somehow it can be more extreme than this. In the movie "Body Parts", a man loses his right arm when a tanker truck rear ends him, ejecting him through the windshield. The Results has good news and bad news: The Good News; he gets a new right arm. The Bad News; it belongs to an death row inmate who was executed. Worse News; he wants it back, along with his left arm and legs! Hold it! if he's supposed to be dead, how did he come back to life? The individual would donated the parts has got a lot of explaining to do. I liked the part where Bill Chrushank(Jeff Fahey) told her off. Then she later gets killed by the killer. Then there's the scene where he cuffs Bill and tries to drive his arm off. No success. Having his arm scared him and his family, after the killer is unsuccessful of getting his arm back, the curse has lifted. Life is back to normal for Bill and his family. Unlike "The Hand", "Body Parts" is more intense. So if anyone loses a limb, check the donor before surgery starts, and beware of seedy doctors. 2 out of 5 stars!
