Reviews for Idle Hands
A stylishly goofy take on the old possessed limb genre...

Idle Hands may be the devil's playground, but empty minds are the venue for this time waster.

Performances are adequate, but mostly uninspired.

Samples other teen horror movies like a video DJ with a tape deck, exhibiting high spirits and a crazed comic energy!

Top CriticA major buzzkill!

The attempts to extract comedy from this grim raw material are leaden, blood-soaked disasters.

Creepy in all the wrong ways.

Top Criticupposed to be a horror-comedy film, but it's neither scary nor funny, and it's not much of a film.
01/01/00
A teen comedy even more wasted than its bleary-eyed heroes.
01/01/00
Excruciatingly unfunny!

It's a void and a black hole full of NOTHING!

Dumb, blood-soaked, undeniably kinetic teen Guignol bash!

Top CriticAs midnight movies go, this one is pretty mediocre, and most of its weakness derives from a certain lack of comic inspiration.
