Idle Hands (DVD) Reviews

The tagline for "Idle Hands" is 'A touching story of a boy and his right hand'. Right there, you'll get the gist of what it's all about. At least you would if you dragged your mind out of the gutter. Get it out of there now. Good. On the approach to Hallowe'en, Anton Tobias awakes one morning to find that ...

Imagine having a part of your body that suddenly developed a murderous mind of its own, some people might think that could be fun. Anton (Devon Sawa) certainly doesn't think so as he begins to kill people around him with no control over the situation. His attempts at finding a solution to his predicament are hilarious, with the most ...

Something tells me every other review type person hasn't actually seen this film. In the same ways as great films such as "the evil dead" trilogy and the "night of the living, dawn of the and day of the dead" series, this film mixes horror with comedy!!! 'Idle hands are the devils playthings', and so our ...

Idle Hands, funny title for a rather funny movie. I say rather because it says it's hilarious on the cover, but I didn?t burst out in laughter once in the film, rather I just giggled to myself every now and then, but enough about me and onto the film. The film is classed as a comedy horror and has an 18 certificate slapped onto it ...

This film is one of the best of a new breed of teen horror/comedy movies. Film makers gave up on trying to scare their audience after all the House films and Halloween films failed. Idle hands has loads of fresh faced actors who are obviously trying to make a name for themselves, although Seth Green is already a teen legend. The film starts out in ...

I only watched this film because I am a big fan of Seth Green (Mick) and I was following the film trail throughout his career to date. It has been given an 18 rating, probably because it openly and unashamedly features a LOT of pot smoking and some rather strong bad language. I am sure if it didn’t feature the pot as much, it would have ...

This film is housed under the horror section of dooyoo. It is however, a comedy as much as it is a horror. The film revolves around Anton, a stoner who never does much apart from smoke weed and watch tv with his best friends Paub, (and i forget the other.) On the night of halloween, Anton kills his parents, but has no memory of the ...

Idle Hands was a bit of a box office dud in the USA and only appeared on a handful of screens over here some time after. A quick region 1 release meant that I saw the film way befoer it even set foot on UK shores and to be honest I can't see why it didn't do better as it's far more entertaininng that the likes of Urban Legends:Final ...

Idle Hands is not a very well known film, I must confess even I hadn't heard of it until I went to the Video Shop and rented it out. But, having said this, I was surprised to find it was a very fun film to watch, and quite good. All about a guy whose hand has been taken over by some spirit, its both funny and sometimes scary. The DVD ...

Idle Hands is an absoulutely awesome comedy that has a great teen-cast. It stars Devon Sawa(guy out of the 'Stan video'), Jessica Alba and Seth Green(from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'). Idle Hands is about a guy called Anton(Sawa) who is one of the laziest teenagers ever. He is possessed by an evil spirit that will posses the ...

This film is definitely for those with the more morbid sense of humour. It is based on the theory that the devil posses idle hands, consequently the devil posses the hand of a cannabis smoking teenage boy. He is too stoned to even realise that his own parents are dead. As the film continues the teenager kills his best friends who don't exactly ...

An outragously funny film. Again another triumpth in my book for the teen flick sensation. the story tells of a boy who has an unusual and dangerous hand, which happened to kill his parents at the start, unaware of his hands "handy work". In an attempt to stop his hand from killing everyone, he must make a lot of sacrifices to do so.This ...

'The Devil will find work for Idle Hands to do...but what will happen when he chooses the laziest teen slacker in the world to do his dirty work?' So, would you watch this film if you read that on the back of the video box? I probably wouldn't, it sounds a bit too cheesy, but read on, and I will prove that it is worth a watch. ...

I hadn't heard of this film until I was reading through the new DVD releases in good ol' Total Film, and I was quite impressed on reading their small review, so I tried to find it online.. in the end i got it from an online auction at a knock down price, and I sure am glad I did, as it is a top film, with some excellent jokes along the ...

Idle Hands is the story about an ancient curse that states that the devil will take over the lazy hands in the world and then must kill a girl all in a certain time plan to rule the world. That lazy hand just happens to belong to Anton Tobias or at least it does for the first half of the film. Devon Sawa (now getting recognition for his ...

Seeminly dying an utter death at the cinema, this highly entertaining teen horror movie, with it's tounge well into it's cheek, really hits the spot. Anton, a bone idle high school student, wakes up one day to find his parents mysteriously butchered. Calling on his buddies Mick and Pnub for help, this pair discover that it was ...
