Body Parts

Body Parts (1991) is a grisly horror-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Prison psychologist Bill Chrushank loses an arm in a car wreck, and the surgeons graft on a replacement — one taken, he later learns, from an executed killer.

At first the second chance feels like a gift. Then the new arm starts moving on its own, reaching for blades and turning on his wife, as if it still carries someone else's rage. Bill tracks down the other patients stitched together from the same corpse and realizes the execution never finished the job. Director Eric Red, who wrote The Hitcher, adapted a novel by Boileau and Narcejac — the French pair behind Vertigo and Les Diaboliques — and wrings real dread out of a lurid premise. Jeff Fahey throws himself at it, with Brad Dourif lurking in support. A nasty slice of early-'90s body horror. Stream Body Parts (1991) online on iFILM.
