Severed hands and a crazy kid

[ghouck]

This movie started where someone finds a bunch of severed and numbered hands, I believe in a storm drain. It turns out that a guy was trying to transplant them onto his daughter who had deformed hands so she could play piano like her deceased mother. There was also something about a kid in an asylum being telepathically linked to the crimes. Any ideas? Thanks.

When the Bough Breaks (1994)

Never seen myself but this film is - for some reason - a highly sought after movie at various message boards I frequent.
People always remember the severed hands bit but not the film title. When I read the thread title I already knew what film you were looking for

That's it. I was thinking "The hand that rocked the cradle" and that it was Michael Gross playing the killer.

I'm pretty sure we can call this solved

Thanks.
