DVD Reviews of Idle Hands
DVD Review: Comedy & Horror Work Well Together
Summary: 4 Stars
This turned out to be a good combination comedy and horror film. Yes, the humor is geared more for teens but people far older than 15 should still get a lot of laughs out of this. I did, and I'm a lot older (a lot!).
Warning: some of the scenes are pretty gross, at least for a comedy, but that's what made those particularly scenes funny.
The film reminded me a bit of "American Werewolf in London" with the "undead" kids. Despite the absurdity of it, there are a couple of good messages in here....but, generally, this is purely escapist fun.
DVD Review: Idlehands
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie for my son-n-law for Christmas as that is what he wanted. He enjoyed it. It appeared to be in good shape, ie-no scratches on DVD. It came in the amount of time estimated by Amazon.DVD Review: what an amazing 90s movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is amazing! Its got Devon Sawa, Jessica Alba and Seth Green! You cant go wrong with this spooky, high school comedy! Its from the 90s and its the most fun movie ever! The Offspring play at the school prom! Check this movie out!DVD Review: Idle Hands, early Jessica Alba film, teenage slaughter film
Summary: 2 Stars
Idle hands is a poorly made teenage serial killer film, in which a slacker teenager's hand is possessed and kills other teenagers. Jessica Alba has a small part as a girlfriend. Skip this filmDVD Review: amazing horror/comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. This movie did a great job in the comedy/horror genre. It has good jokes, great dark humor, and still keeps an essence of creepiness and horror elements. Jessica Alba is amazing, Devon Sawa is really convincing, and Seth Green & Elden Henson are funny "side kicks". Good one liners, still keeping that horror element like I said. Story is lacking a little bit, but still worth 5stars
Description of Idle Hands
The devil will find work for idle hands to do.. So what happens when he goes on the prowl for a partner in crime and ends up with an utterly clueless 17-year-old slacker? the result is a lot more moronic than demonic. Special features: subtitles: english talent files theatrical trailer and much more. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/31/2004 Starring: Devon Sawa Seth Green Run time: 92 minutes Rating: R Director: Rodman FlenderDespite all the pot-smoking in Idle Hands, the message here seems to be that too many bong hits will take you on a one-way trip to the devil's playground. That's what happens to Anton (Devon Sawa), a wasted teen who's so perpetually zonked on weed that he doesn't notice his parents have been slaughtered by an evil force that then possesses Anton's right hand, taking on a wildly homicidal life of its own after Anton chops it off with a butcher knife. The first victims are Anton's pals Mick (teen-movie stalwart Seth Green), who gets a beer bottle embedded in his skull, and Pnub (Elden Henson), whose head is lopped off by a rotary saw blade, and later reattached with a barbecue fork and duct tape. (Did we mention that Mick and Pnub turn into undead jokesters? It's that kind of movie.) This unoriginal idea is little more than an excuse for gross-out effects and easy one-liners, and then Vivica?A. Fox appears as the demon-buster who knows how to kill the hand once and for all. It's fun to a point, and certain to be a popular Halloween hit with its intended teenage audience, but you can't help wishing this movie had tried harder to be something more than a collection of crude and gory gags. --Jeff Shannon
