Customer Reviews of Idle Hands
2.5...It's been done before...an extra 1/2 for the DVD First of all I will say that if you read this review and have not seen the movie, you may want to skip it all the way to the last sentence or two. Well, anyway, I enjoyed this film, yet I feel I've been down this road before. The only real difference is that the characters are all a bunch of stoners, for the most part. It involves one particular stoner who wakes up one morning and finds his parents are not around, though he seems too stoned to care. Though there is a serial killer on the loose, all he cares about is scoring some more weed...which, to most stoners, is pretty right on the target. He comes to find out later that HE is actually the killer! Big surprise! I won't say anymore about the plot though. If you've seen Evil Dead or Re-Animator, you're really in for nothing new to the genre. The gore scenes are pretty interesting, but nothing to really single it out as a gore classic either. Mediocre at best, Idle Hands only really stands out in the defiant attitude of the time it was released just nearly a week after the Columbine Massacre. The DVD has got some interesting features, including a good deleted scene, but it's a little murky.
Hilarious horror flick.
"Idle Hands" has got to be one of the best horror/comedies ever. I absolutely love this film, it is filled with so much horror and comedy that you can't really put it into just one genre. "Idle Hands" is basically about pot-head Anton (Devon Sawa)whose right hand gets possessed by the devil and takes him on a wild (and hilarious) killing spree. The plot is simple, but the actors are what bring the film to life. Seth Green, Devon Sawa, and Elden Henson make the perfect trio of burn-outs and are absolutely hysterical. Jack Noseworthy is also good as the Motley-Crue-loving-motor-jock. The film is excellent, but what really brings this DVD to life are the features. We get a commentary by Rodman Flender, Seth Green, and Elden Henson, which is very informative and fun to listen to. You learn a lot of facts from the commentary; like how Seth and Elden won the role of Mick and Pnub, how Devon Sawa used a real butcher-knife for the hand-chopping sequence, Rodman poitning out numerous goofs and cameos by The Offspring, Ricky Martin, and a member of Blink-182, and many other little facts. The deleted scene is actually an alternate ending, which is totally different than the theatrical ending, and there is an introduction with Rodman Flender explaining why they cut it. Even though this ending is good, I still prefer the theatrical ending. Then we get some interesting storyboard-comparisons of two scenes, which are fun to watch if you really like the film. The production notes and talent files are okay, nothing special, and the making of featurette is good, you'll also learn some interesting facts and see how they did some of the effects. Then we finish with the trailers for "Idle Hands" and "Can't hardly wait". The trailer is good, it features a few glimpses of some cut scenes, see if you can catch em'.
"Idle Hands" is a superbly crafted film that unfortunately bombed at the box-office (though I don't see why it bombed) and in a few years will probably become a cult-classic. "Idle Hands" is a solid buy, the special features are great and so is the price.
Underrated Black Comedy Horror Film.
Anton Tobias (Devon Sawa) is One of the Laziest Teenagers around, which Anton loves Television, Junk-Food, Couch Potato Burn-Out. Anton finds himself in deep trouble, when he can't control his murderous impulses of his recently possessed hand. Once His Hand murdered His Parents (Fred Willard & Connie Fox) and His Friends (Seth Green & Elden Henson), He tries to get control of his rampaging devil appendage and now, it's ruininf his life. Now with the help of his friends returning back to life, they will to help Anton's Possessed Hand before not ruining his chances with his attractive neighbor (Jessica Alba) before an Hunter (Vivica A. Fox). Which the Hunter knows a thing or two about the Hand Possession to Kill anyone Who is Possessed.
Directed by Rodman Flender (Leprechaun 2) made a hilarious, sick, twisted black comedy that is a shoulda-been Cult Classic nipped in the bud by its unfortunate proximily to the Columbine Tragedy. Now the film is a forgetten genuine film. Amusing Performances in the film, especially the talented lead role of Sewa. DVD has an sharp Pan & Scan (1.33:1) transfer and an clear-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has an great audio commentary track by the director and actors:Green & Henson. DVD has also the Original Ending with an Introduction by the Director with an Commentary Track by the Director, which you could watch the Original Ending without the Commentary and more decent extras. If you love Widescreen (Like I Do), try to get the Previous 1999 Transfer (Which also had the Widescreen/Pan & Scan transfers). Idle Hands is a tribute to another horror films like:Oliver Stone's The Hands, An American Werewolf in London, Re-Animator and Evil Dead 2:Dead by Dawn. If you are a Horror Fan, don't overlook this film. Good Music Score by Greame Revell (Bride of Chucky, The Crow, Freddy Vs. Jason). Grade:A-.
