Too precariously straddles the line between fun and cheese, often going a bit too far over the top.

Ganha pontos pelo perverso senso de humor, mas acaba soando demais como uma cópia de "Evil Dead 2" para merecer uma recomendação.

Were you expecting a teen remake of The Hands of Orlac? Don't hold your breath.
12/06/05
Maybe 90 seconds of viable and sustained humor at the end.
07/21/05
It jumps from one path to the next without any sense of continuity.
04/09/05
Stupid, silly fun with a decent amount of gore and heavy dose of teen humor

All of these people can make better movies than this, and most of them have.

Is it a spoof, or is it just stupid ... or is it a stupid spoof?

It's an infalliby funny gambit...

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

When it's over, you may feel like cutting off your own hand for having paid good money at the ticket counter.

A script filled with blunt dialogue on sex, drugs and violence that's neither funny nor particularly original.

When a movie sets out to be awful and achieves its goal, does that make it a success?
01/01/00
Funnier than it is scary, and not very funny at that.
01/01/00
Performances are adequate, but mostly uninspired.
