Awesome Movie

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Waking up one morning, a teen-slacker learns his parents have been murdered and his right has been possessed by the Devil and is carrying on a murderous spree across town, forcing him to find a way of stopping it.This was quite an underrated horror comedy with some enjoyable elements. One of the better features here is the fact that this one still manages to be an extremely effective horror outing while using the comedy to its most effective points. The drug humor with his freak-outs, hallucinations and misconceptions about reality contort with the actual horror set-ups that result when he's sober again as the big revelation scene about his parents to his friends which leads into their own attack throughout the house that's insanely hilarious while being utilized by gruesome actions throughout which causes even more great fun in the scene. As well, there's a lot of fun to be had from the film's last half which again features plenty of hilariously gruesome and horrific moments here as there's the rather bloody encounter with the cops, the main sequence of the group dismembering his hand and then going around trashing the house trying to stop it and the few odd interludes of him chasing after the truth about his condition all feature some rather enjoyable comedy while still trying to be scary. The best segments are the finale, as the dance is interrupted and causes nice confusion and chaos as well as the frantic stalking through the tunnels provide this with the appropriate suspense while bringing back the comedy and horror aspects as it winds through its final resolution. All in all this gives the film some rather bloody deaths to go with this fine mix of horror and comedy which manages to be quite the effective mixture, and is able to hold this up against the film's only real flaw. The big issue with this one is the fact that there's no real reasoning given for the rampage behind the hands' motives. This one states that there's a purpose for it as for how it goes about the different sprees around the country, and all we get is a throwaway line when she connects the pieces on the map, yet that's all in here and leaves this one feeling rather underwhelming. There's a minor issue here as well with the film's opening half featuring so much drug humor and comedy that it might seem a bit over-the-top for those who are completely underwhelmed by such inclusions as this is a take-it-or-leave-it feature which potentially makes this section completely bland and lifeless. Otherwise, this is quite a bit of fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, a brief sex scene and pervasive drug use and humor.

Idle Hands stars Devon Sawa as teenage pot-head Anton, whose chilled lifestyle has made him the perfect host for a demon that—as druidic Priestess Debi LeCure (Vivica A. Fox) puts it—possesses the laziest f**k-up it can find. With his right hand under the demon's control, Anton is unknowingly responsible for a spate of murders in his local neighbourhood (including those of his own parents). After slaughtering fellow stoners Mick (Seth Green) and Pnub (Elden Henson), who come back as zombies having been too lazy to walk into the light, Anton finally realises that he is the killer and tries to end the problem by cutting off the demonic appendage. But his troubles have only just started, the severed hand going on a killing spree, its ultimate target: Molly (Jesica Alba), the girl of Anton's dreams.Idle Hands is probably my favourite 'possessed hand' movie (confession time: I prefer this film to Evil Dead II); it is also the funniest stoner horror/comedy that I have seen, although given that the only other examples I can recall are the Scary Movie series, that's not surprising. Not only does the film boast a very likable cast (and in the case of Alba, very lickable), but it also benefits from lots of well-executed splatter (including death by rotary saw blade, knitting needles, beer bottle, and ventilation fan), a sharp script that delivers plenty of laughs and quotable one-liners ("I needs me spinach"), an excellent rock soundtrack (punk band the Offspring even have a cameo, lead singer Dexter Holland having his scalp pulled off by the murderous hand), and an unforgettable finale that features a stoned hand-puppet and Jessica Alba in her underwear.

Anton Tobias (Devon Sawa) is pot smoking teen slacker. He's so oblivious that he doesn't notice his parents had been killed on Halloween. His slacker friends Mick (Seth Green) and Pnub (Elden Henson) tell him about the serial killer on the loose. He's in love with Molly (Jessica Alba) next door but he's too shy to talk to her. Debi LeCure (Vivica A. Fox) is on the hunt for the killer, a demonic killer. Anton discovers the bodies. His right hand seems to have a mind of its own.Devon Sawa is not the most compelling lead. He does this pathetic slacker character well. The comedy duo of Seth Green and Henson is terrific. There's a young hot Jessica Alba. It has some funny moments. It just needs more of them. It's a junior take on the Evil Dead hand and there's nothing wrong with that.

Idle Hands has it's high and low points and ultimately it's not bad!. The film is pretty shallow in terms of plot and character development but then again a horror comedy spoof like this it was never going to be deep in either of those aspects. It has a lot of cliché 90's teen themes; High school buddies, a slacker main character, two weed smoking side kicks, the hot girl next door etc, etc so originality is not really one of the films fortes. Whilst not hilarious there were a few scenes which I did laugh at but this isn't a film I'd expect to be as funny on a second or third watch for example. There were a few amusing kill/gore scenes but this is more slapstick then out and out gore. The cast were okay on the whole but the main character wasn't a great performance but the support cast were good enough for a film like this. It's by no means the best film of this genre but if you just want to sit back and watch a film that's light on plot but a fine for an evening in front of the TV then give it a go. 6/10
