I must say that "Idle Hands" has to be the winner of the "Worst Movie Ever Made" award. It starts by killing off the parents of a seemingly invisible teen, who shows up after their murders. At first you think it may look like a good horror movie, but that thought is quickly disspelled. When Anton finally hits the scene, he doesn't notice that his parents have been gone for days, there is no food in the house, or that there is blood on the floor. He visits his two loser friends who sit around, get high, and watch TV, all day, every day. His parents' murder is finally discovered when Anton makes himself a sandwich using the bloody knife to spread his mayo, which by the way is a huge chef knife. I don't think that would be my choice of knives to begin with, but what makes it worse is he doesn't even notice until after he takes a huge bite out of his sandwich. Hello!? He proceeds to tell his two friends that he thinks the murderer is in his house. Of course there is a police watch for this guy. Anton discovers his parents' bodies inside the pumpkin head people made to decorate for the upcoming Halloween holiday. When his buddies come over, they don't notice the dead parents looking up at them. While the three idiots are trying to figure out what to do with the bodies, Anton kills his two friends. Then we discover that it is actually Anton's hand that is doing the murders. And he can't stop it -- it has a mind of its own.

Of course, the movie wouldn't be complete without the object of Anton's lust, a neighborhood girl. After Anton's uncontrollable hand throws the family cat across the street, he goes to retrieve it. It just happens to fly into this young woman's bushes. While trying to find the cat, the hand once again takes over and rings the door bell. She comes to the door and invites a very disheveled Anton in, who has blood all over the only shirt he owns. They decide to go on a date, specifically the Halloween dance. Anton returns home and buries his friends and parents in very shallow graves out in the back yard. After about five seconds, his friends "come back to life," with one friend having the glass bottle he was killed with still embedded in his head, while the other has to carry his head, as he had been decapitated.

Ok. Whatever. While this nonsense is taking place, there is a woman looking for this evil and just happens to pinpoint Anton's city as the home for it. She finds someone that knows of the strange occurrences that are happening to Anton and again miraculously finds him. Too bad it was after Anton had killed two policemen and decided to chop off his hand. So, now there is a hand "running" around town terrorizing and a teenager with a stump. First of all, I don't think that any 17 year old would willingly cut off his own hand, especially with a butcher's knife, and if he did, I really doubt that he would scream once, wrap it in a platic bag, and then run around town looking for the killer hand.

Believe it or not, the movie gets worse. Anton and his rotting friends go to the dance and, when discovered by this sorceress, are informed of the way to be rid of the evil. However when she tries to kill Anton with the ceremonial dagger, he hits her and runs. Back inside the gym, where the dancing is going on, his friend, who has duct taped his head back on, is making out with one of Anton's girlfriends (I guess that's what you would call her). But that is cut short by the hand attacking the band and creating a panic. But the doors are locked so everyone is trapped in the gym with the hand. Two escape through the heater duct. The hand follows them, instinctively knowing which way they went. While one of them makes it, her friend is less fortunate and is killed by the giant fan in the duct. Somehow making it to the school auto shop, the survivor is taken hostage by the hand and tied down to the roof of a car that is being slowly lifted to the ceiling. Anton struggles with the hand the releases the lever, saving her.

In the end, the hand is destroyed. The sorceress throws a dagger at it, hits it, and it disappears. Finally, you think, this stupid show is over. But not without one more little twist. The car that Anton had finally stopped from crushing his bimbo falls on Anton. Once again, miraculously, he survives, and the last scene shows him being fed by the object of his affection while lying in a hospital bed in a full body cast. His friends, who decide to go toward the light, show up in his room as, get this, his guardian angels. I don't know about the general population, but I'd rather not have two potheads for guardian angels.

I can't say that I recall even one good scene in this movie. It was a waste of money, time, and good memory space.
