This film is another one of those schlocky horror comedies that tries to be hip and scary simultaneously--only it's neither. Ever since the Scream series, it's all been downhill from there.

This non-sensical thriller is about a high schooler whose hand becomes possessed and goes on a murdering spree. In one pivotal scene, the boy cuts his hand off, recalling Bruce Campbell's dilemma in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2--a film that was much scarier and a lot more fun.

Idle Hands rips off countless better films; including, John Landis' An American Werewolf in London, Oliver Stone's The Hand, and Barry Sonnenfeld's Addams Family pictures.

However, the film isn't a total loss. In one inspired scene, the lead singer of The Offspring gets scalped by the severed hand. Aside from that, Idle Hands gets the idle finger!
