Idle Hands


A 17 year-old boy wakes up Halloween morning to discover - after watching some TV and perusing the contents of the fridge, oblivious to the pool of blood on the floor - that his parents have been turned into a couple of headless Halloween decorations.
He then realises after hanging out with his equally irresponsible friends that his right hand has a very bloodthirsty mind of its own and that it has become possessed by an obscure demon, as predicted by the old adage ''Idle hands do the devil's work''.

Visitor Comments

Shaun Myburg (21): Another one of those films that took forever to get here, but for a teen audience it should worth the wait. Devon Sawa, Jessica Alba and Seth Green head up the cast in this gem of a horror-comedy that holds no punches. A great soundtrack adds to this disgusting movie about a boy who's hand becomes possessed. If you get the chance, get this one on DVD which includes a great directors commentary. Look out for a very very brief guest appearance by Ricky Martin. Go see it!

Guinevere Vos (22): Real corny fun with very little intelligence.

Daniel Macreadie (15): This movie rocks!!!

Danielle Rossi 13: This movie is the best!!
