Idle Hands

Directed by Rodman Flender (Leprechaun 2) made a hilarious, sick, twisted black comedy that is a shoulda-been Cult Classic nipped in the bud by its unfortunate proximily to the Columbine Tragedy. Now the film is a forgetten genuine film. Amusing Performances in the film, especially the talented lead role of Sewa. DVD has an sharp Pan & Scan (1.33:1) transfer and an clear-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has an great audio commentary track by the director and actors:Green & Henson. DVD has also the Original Ending with an Introduction by the Director with an Commentary Track by the Director, which you could watch the Original Ending without the Commentary and more decent extras. If you love Widescreen (Like I Do), try to get the Previous 1999 Transfer (Which also had the Widescreen/Pan & Scan transfers). Idle Hands is a tribute to another horror films like:Oliver Stone's The Hands, An American Werewolf in London, Re-Animator and Evil Dead 2:Dead by Dawn. If you are a Horror Fan, don't overlook this film. Good Music Score by Greame Revell (Bride of Chucky, The Crow, Freddy Vs. Jason). Grade:A-.

Let me be direct: 90% of the movie sucks. The acting and effects are decent. But the story, the direction, and well, pretty much everything else, are bad.

A few minutes into the movie, I thought it was a horror movie. Even then I was disappointed because it's not nearly horrifying enough. Then a third of the movie gone by, the plot became more and more ridiculous, and only then did I realize that the filmmakers wanted to make it a black comedy. But just that the movie has the style of a black comedy doesn't mean that the filmmakers would feel obliged to offer you any laughs, witty dialouges or dark humor. The movie has none of those.

The only reason I didn't give it a 1 star is some really really terrible movies deserve the lowest grade more than this one does. Not by a lot, though, I have to say.


idle hands, best film ever   July 16, 2004
this movie is the best one I've ever seen. it's fun to watch and that's really important. I've never laughed harder in my life!! the main caracter isn't the funniest, his 2 friends are. also the offspring is in it, I think that's so cool!! dexter holland had an actual part in it!! he dies, but that's ok hahah. you really should go rent it or buy it cos it's great!!

a stoner kids hand makes him start killing people.his 2 best friends return as zombies.eventualy he chops it off and it runs loose killing people.a whole bunch of nobodies are in it.it is low budget.doesnt anyone spend money on a horror film?it is really good though.there are a few ladies running about.a mexican chick next door,[ok people christineaguliera is yesterdays news and just because shes hot doesnt mean every spanish chick in the world is}.then theres this crazy jewish-black priestess chick who wants to kill everything and finaly the only hot chick in the movie is a chick whose in the film long enough to take off her shirt and get murdered.the priestess is obnoxious.this movie is a lot more entertaining than any sell outs and phonies will admit to.i dont know what on earth theyd do for a sequel but id love to see them try.
