Idle Hands
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. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Charlie's Angels(2019) was a surprisingly fun and sexy reboot. War of the Rohirrim had pretty landscapes and cool battles. Idle Hands, stoner horror comedy I wanted to see again for a long time. GOAT, wholesome and entertaining basketball movie.
unlabelledView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #127 "Idle Hands" (Rodman Flender/1999) Fun, funny and packed with great gore gags, this movie is a winner in my book. Great cast of 90s era teens. Awesome to see a comedy/horror film get the balance right.
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching Idle Hands I went into this movie with almost no expectations and came out absolutely loving it. A horror comedy that is both funny and not afraid to rack up a body count. Truly a gem of a movie. #filmsky #horror #horrorsky
unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched The Love Witch was great! A lot funnier than I expected and pretty unique. Surprised HIM is reviewing so poorly, I had a good time. And Idle Hands is an incredibly stupid movie, but I like it.

unlabelledView post →ok, to get something positive from the ed sheeran discourse: what's the *best* musician cameo in a tv show or film? (Dexter Holland being scalped in Idle Hands is prettyyyyy legendary)
unlabelledView post →I finished Princess Mononoke with hours to spare! My second favorite movie about a cursed hand, after Idle Hands. Probably the best one so far but my fifth favorite, because best and favorite are different. #brosephmovieclub Miyazaki Ranked boxd.it/Du0vU
unlabelledView post →Name a movie you say deserves a remake! Post one that had a great core but a poor execution. I adore Idle Hands. I love the premise (stoner slapstick horror comedy) and several of the gags, it just has some problematic elements that could be fixed and it could go further with practical effects.

unlabelledView post →I give the 1999 cult classic Idle Hands a 3/5 on my Scream Scale. I cover this movie on the latest episode of my podcast. This stoner slasher is hilarious and captures the fears of a generation of lazy stoned apathetic teens. #horror #horrormovie #idlehands #horrorsky #horrorpodcast

unlabelledView post →You know what 90's horror (comedy?) flick I think does not get enough love? Idle Hands. Fun little film. Really funny. And also got some great, creepy moments, and some fun kills. And a killer 90's sound track.

unlabelledView post →A mere ten years after this movie, dark bloody horror comedies would explode in popularity. However the comedy of this movie is TOO 90s for the 2010s. Making Idle Hands simultaneously trapped in its time AND ahead of its time…at the same time. #svengoolie
