@Skooba "Could you elaborate on what is Science Fiction or Fantasy about this movie?" a severed hand that crushes walnuts? or do we discount straight horror without any other serious scifi or fantasy elements?

@Pelinore It's not clear from the question whether the hand was severed from a human body or if it's just a wooden nutcracker carved into the shape of a hand, or yet something entirely different. If it is merely a nutcracker, then we are again left without an SF&F element in the question.

@Skooba Ah! you're right.

The only thing that suggests that is a comment from a user who is not the OP. There are several possibilities as to what the hand could be, yours is just one interpretation. Without confirmation we can't assume anything. So at face value it does not appear to be on-topic.
