Idle Hands

DIRECTED BY: Rodman Flender

REVIEWED: 05-10-99

The studio decided not to advertise this film's opening in Colorado this week. I guess that after mercilessly teasing two mentally unstable boys and then supplying them with enough firearms to win the presidency of Uganda, the state of Colorado had been through enough and couldn't face another crappy teen slasher film. Idle Hands is the story of a pot-head teenager who finds that his demonically possessed hand is forcing him to kill his parents and get it on with the beautiful girl across the street. Lots of bong jokes, dismembered teens and cruelty to animals enliven this sad commentary on the cultural wasteland that is inland California.
