IDLE HANDS

1999 • US HMDB

April 30, 1999

Anton is a cheerful but exceedingly non-ambitious 17-year-old stoner who lives to stay buzzed, watch TV, and moon over Molly, the beautiful girl who lives next door. However, it turns out that the old cliché about idle hands being the devil's playground has a kernel of truth after all.

A young man who spends his days in front of the television doing nothing is forced to change his habits for a particular reason: his hand is possessed by the spirit of a killer and begins to kill anyone who comes his way. The first to suffer are his friends, who then come back as zombies, but someone will manage to stop him. A comedy-horror that does not lack some bloody sequences and some very funny ideas. Otherwise, easy laughs and pretty girls for a classic youth film.
