Paul Magne Haakonsen I remember watching this movie back in the day when it was first released and I do remember it as being a rather funny and entertaining movie. Then I haven't seen it since, so I took it upon myself to sit down in 2017 and watch it a second time around......And the movie was every bit as funny and entertaining as I remembered it to be.I had totally forgotten that Jessica Alba was in this movie, so it was a nice surprise to see her here as a young actress and in a movie such as this. Just as it was a nice surprise to see Vivica A. Fox in the movie as well.The storyline in "Idle Hands" is entertaining, and very simple to follow. So the movie demands very little from the viewer, aside from you just leaning back to enjoy the show. It is about Anton Tobias (played by Devon Sawa) whom is wasting his life and youth with being high 24-7, when he one day wakes up to find his parents dead and that his right hand has become possessed and hellbent on a murderous rampage. With the help of his friends Mick (played by Seth Green) and Pnub (played by Elden Henson) they must find a way to stop the murdering hand.The special effects are quite alright, aside from a few times where it becomes quite obvious that it is CGI effects. You can notice that in particular on some scenes where there is a great different in coloration on Seth Green and Elden Henson. But overall good effects.There are some good moments and good laughs to be had throughout the course of the movie. And the movie also had a rather interesting and good choice of music to go with it.All in all then "Idle Hands" is a fun movie to watch, and it scores a 6 out of 10 stars from me.

Python Hyena Idle Hands (1999): Dir: Rodman Flender / Cast: Devon Sawa, Jessica Alba, Seth Green, Elden Henson, Vivcia A. Fox: Tasteless and gross horror comedy about a teenage male whose hand becomes possessed and able to kill people without the owner's control. No explanation is given as to why his hand is possessed but Devon Sawa is advised to keep it busy. He murders his parents, his two best friends, a couple of cops, and other locals. Even cutting his hand off doesn't help for it escapes, after a violent incident in a microwave. Pointless and stupid with director Rodman Flender trying to be clever. He gives references to An American Werewolf in London and Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn but to a far lesser degree. Special effects should please gore fans, but there is something terribly corrupt about the whole film. Sawa's reaction to the murders of his loved ones is unconvincing. In reality one would think that a reaction to something like this would be horrifying with a severe sense of loss, but that isn't indicated here. Seth Green and Elden Henson play his mutilated friends. Jessica Alba plays his damsel girlfriend and she is about as interesting as a pencil with a broken tip. Vivica A. Fox even shows up as a woman who believes that she can correct the problem but she only renders the film more ridiculous than it already is. Concluding result is a pointless barf film that is hardly funny. Score: 2 / 10

BA_Harrison 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.

atinder This was another re-watch, I seen it once before, I didn't remember much from the last time I watched it. I forgot how fun this movie was, it was a lot of fun, there wre action comic moment in this movie. I really liked the plot of the movie,A hand taken over by demon that killed his mum and dad. There are crazy over the top silliness in this movie, which fits perfectly with the rest of the movie. There some great gory moments and some really cool kills scenes, I loved the dead friends come back dead, was so funny. The acting was great from the whole cast. 8 out of 10
