Summary: Man, this was tyt!
Review: I loved this movie. Its a mystery about a person killin all these people. It was his hand actually. And it was because of nutmeg and oregano. That was clever. His friends are also zombies. One of them actually got a date to. Its got action and scary parts to. It was tyt when The Offspring performed as well. when his hand gets cut off, it rots to. Man, this is gonna become an instant classic with the hand being like Chucky, or Freddy, or Mike, or Jason.

Summary: Scream's Better
Review: Depending on who you are, you will either enjoy this film or think it is rather stupid and insipid. I happen to fall into the latter category, and although I do believe there are good movies aimed at that particular audience (teens) I don't feel this is it.. The writing is underdeveloped, with a story that is, although has its moments, seems to be trying to hard to be humourous while still maintaining its horror element - resulting in a graphic gore element mixed with botched comedy. This, like HALF BAKED, seems to support dope smoking, although the interpretation can be that that is the reason Anton's two friend's end up dead and he has a possessed hand because he is lazy and is going no where with his life. Yet this is nullified when the kids still smoke it at the end, contributing the end to 'good marijuana' The main character's name I figured was a nod to Anton LaVey, who is the founder of the modern day Satanic church. There is no explanation given why Anton's two friends come back from the dead, other than they just didn't want to go 'toward the light'. In a scene reminiscent of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD they come out of the ground, providing gross humour. Like the horror genre it is more of a spoof of than an actual example, there is nudity (two kids decide to fornicate and are dressed in KISS costumes). All in all, a bad movie that is aimed at the teen-age genre with pointless drugs and a bad script. I do like Seth Green, however. He is one of the few redeeming factors (that and the movie's refusal to take itself seriously) in this B flick.

Summary: One of the better examples of the teen/horror/comedy genre.
Review: I didn't know what to expect from this movie the first time I saw it. The concept had been done before (possesed hand gets chopped off, kills people a la Evil Dead) and is incredibly cliched (a possesed guy goes on a killing spree. Hmmm...). The cast is just a bunch of "teenagers" doing another I Know What You Did Last Summer take and at the same time, copying Scream in terms of trying to be another horror-comedy. But you know what? It works. It works *very* well. The cast is great (Seth Green steals the show, again!), there are a bunch of hilarious one-liners ("Please don't be stupid. Do you have, like, an evil 'ant?'"), and Jessica Alba is hot. :^) You'd be surprised how many laughs the director and writers managed to squeeze out of bong-hittin teens going through all the motions of your average b-horror movie. Get this movie. You won't regret it.

Summary: Idle Hands
Review: This movie was absolutely great. There wasn't a bad moment in it. Devon Sawa was great with following his possessed hand, and Jack Noseworthy portrayed Randy as good as they come! I loved it!

Summary: Its actually better than it looks
Review: A lazy pothead that spends his whole day lying around, watching TV and smoking bongs suddenly finds out that his right hand is possessed and goes on a killing spree. Loaded with a lot of grusome scenes like somebody getting a broken beer bottle shoved through his head and another guy getting his head cut off is actually a lot funnier than some would think. Although it is nothing terribly special, its allot better than most in its genre and is deffinately worth watching. As a DVD its very good. The picture and sound quality is reasonable and it has quite a lot of good extras. Any horror fan should have it.

Summary: Gory SFX and silly gags abound in this pot-filled film.
Review: "Idle Hands" is a film that, if you have a strong stomach, you really should see. Seth Green is terrific as Anton's pot-smokin' friend, as is the other guy who plays Pnub. I repeat, it is VERY gory, but the SFX are very good. A little sex, lotsa pot, lotsa bad language, and lotsa blood. Trust me, you'll like it.

Summary: Pays homage to slasher spoofs...
Review: I find it such a shame that Sony did not delay the release of this film due to the Columbine tragedy. I'm certain that this hilarious slasher would have made a more than respectable gross. The film certainly differs from other run-of-the-mill slasher 'teen' movies, the characters were actually amusing rather than irritating, the make-up was fantastic and the end result was hilarious. Two thumbs up.

Summary: Funny, Stupid, Gory and weird
Review: This film is the oddest film I have seen in ages and I was very impressed, the acting was good the SFX were much better than expected. This film could be decribed as bit of cheese, smelly, but you just want to eat loads and get fat. The humour is blatent so you can watch it no matter what sort of state your in, although I recommend slighty merry. The gore is overdone in some points but it makes it incredibly off the wall and funny, and if you listen to the directors commentry on the DVD you take in allot more of the film and so its better still. Some people will hate it because they will have a pole up there back and hence they will be the stiffest people you ever meet, If I was to compare this to another film that Ive seen I wouldnt because I havent seen anything like it, so would are you reading this for, go watch it.

Summary: Worth Seeing
Review: "Idle hands are the Devil's play things." There you have the basic concept of this film. Well, sort of. The basic idea is that a slacker wakes up one day to discover his hand is possessed and when it is not busy, it is trying to kill everyone around him-including his best friends. He does kill them actually, and they come back as zombies who mock him. Sound weird? It gets weirder. This movie is more of a horror-spoof than an actual horror film, yet its scary moments are much better done than, say, those of Scream. Then when it turns to comedy and parody it excels! The movie is actually really funny, and it takes itself so lightly, that you get the feeling the cast and characters they play are laughing right along with you. Idle Hands is a fun film that any horror fan should enjoy. It doesn't do what so many films unfortunately do today-take itself too seriously.

Summary: A Great movie for teens with sick humor
Review: THIS MOVIE ROCKS! It's not my favourite movie, but it comes second under Austin Powers (2). Its a plot with a twist at the end, about this drug smokin' dude who gets his hand posessed by the devil. Its so funny! It stars Seth Green as well, who I absoloutly LOVE! I think every teen should see this movie because it's just hilarious! I garantee that you'll love it. There's afew lame parts, but Seth Green makes up for it with his funny quotes (and the bottle in his head). So if your heading past the video store, pop in and rent Idle Hands. A big thumbs up!
