That sounds like a variation of "The Licked Hand" urban legend.

Not sure what the move is, though. Sorry!

Could it be "The People Under the Stairs" from 1991?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_Under_the_Stairs

I'm looking for a horror film, I believe. It's most likely from the 90's, and involved people moving into a house that was already populated by something (I don't recall if it was other people or some sort of creature) that lived in the walls and hid from the new occupants.
One scene that stands out greatly was of a girl lying down with her hand hanging of the edge of her bed, I think. She had a dog that would often lick her hand, and the girl told the "dog" to stop. She then realized that the dog was lying next to her on the other side, and then sees a brief glimpse of something exiting her room. Any ideas?
