Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Jessica Alba, I thought I might as well check it out. Eventually, I thought that the whole concept of the possessed hand was just a rather stupid idea, right from the start, so it was rather difficult for me to really like this flick.

Description: The devil will find work for idle hands to do...so what happens when he chooses the laziest teen slacker in the world to do his dirty work?

With the help of his zombiefied buddies, Mick and Pnub, Anton's got to stop the rampaging devil appendage before it takes total control of his life and ruins any chance he has with class hottie Molly. Vivica A. Fox and Jack Noseworthy co-star in this wickedly funny horror comedy. ... (more)

"Re-watch - Oct. 7th After a string of somewhat underwhelming horror films this month I needed to watch something I knew I'd enjoy. Enter Idle Hands, which I can't remember the last time I watched but have always had a good time with. Sure the acting could be better, but everything else is a lot of fun and it's consistently entertaining. It's nothing great, but I like it anyway."
