Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Despite 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

LOVE IT!.......2007-05-13
Shipping came fast, good quality. I'm not a big fan of Jessica Alba her acting sucks but she's not bad on the eyes so i can see why they would throw her in for the guys in the audience. But the other cast members totally rocked! It was fun, different, and a perfect movie to watch with the friends. Despite the bad reviews on this movie its a good movie.
Be careful, man, some of 'em are guys.......2007-03-31
IDLE HANDS is a movie that I remember always being on the USA Network when I was really young, and I remember it was a sick movie. It still is, but now older (but not wiser), I see this movie for how it should be seen: a twisted little gem that turns the Dawson's Creek world inside out. Yes, SCREAM did it too, but for some reason, the way IDLE HANDS shows us a guy that loves the girl next door and has two dumb buddies like every bad teen movie ever makes the fact that the movie is about a stoner that kills his parents and best friends (who come back as freaking zombies) with his possessed right hand (hi, Ash) so much sweeter. Yes, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but this movie really is underrated in my opinion. It has great music (especially The Offspring's version of The Ramones' I WANNA BE SEDATED), a clever script, great performances (especially by Seth Green & Elden Henson as the zombified buddies Mick and Pnub, who didn't walk up the stairway to Heaven because "it was too far"), and sly direction by Rodman Flender, who has done TALES FROM THE CRYPT episodes, which at times this movie shares its tone with. Overall, IDLE HANDS is great for horror fans that like their horror with a wink and a nod, and it even throws in some unnecessary nudity, just like the good ol' days.
For camp fans only.......2007-01-28
The problem with this movie and its poor reviews is tat it's being reviewed by the wrong people. This movie is absolutely not for people who watch the Academy Awards or go to arthouse film festivals. This movie is sleazy, campy and cheesy.
It's a hybrid of the classic stoner comedy and the slasher flick genres. Think Dude, Where's My Car? meets Evil Dead. The plot is expendable, but the the dialogue is well written for the characters and the humor is funny more often than not.
In addition to the humor, there is some good blood effects. Really, this is a well executed horror/comedy. If you're under the age of 25 and appreciate camp, this film is for you.
Do you have a sense of humor???.......2006-06-23
This movie was funny! If your looking for deep meaningful content, watch something from the drama section. A classic B movie has a thin plot, unrealistic villians, lots of gore, cheap sex and is meant to be watched while drinking beer. This movie is all of the above and more. If you are going to be tormented by the souls of the undead, Seth Green and his pal are the ones you would want because at least they would bring chips and a cooler of beer. Because, "Hey, your dead for a long time!"
Great .......2006-04-10
Amazon, even though it could be expensive sometimes, it is worth it. Also, the delivery is very fast.

An Amazing Experience (even if you didnt attend).......2001-08-27
If you love hardcore you will absolutely love this DVD. The director of this documentary did an amazing job in capturing the awesome nature, which is hellfest. The DVD version (the ONLY version you should by), comes with great bonus features such as extra songs you can watch by most of the bands listed on the box (walls of jericho, eighteen visions, buried alive etc etc) and some more great bonus features. The video itself is amazing, its over 2 hours long, full of FULL songs of your favorite HxC bands such as Buried Alive, Walls Of Jericho, Poison The Well, Bane, etc etc. You will be able to see 26 FULL songs on the DVD performed live. You also get more (as i mentioned) if you get the DVD version. Awesome interviews with the bands also, great look into the ever growing hardcore scene. BUY IT!!!!!
