Idle Hands

This is another o those movies that you can't take too seriously. It's more of a dark comedy/horror film. Basically, a guy's hand gets possesed and starts killing people. he cuts it off, but it still keeps going. Some of the secens where he was struggling with his hand reminded me of Bruce Campbell's movie, Evil Dead 2, where his hand becomes possesed and it kicks his ass. One of the gems in this movie was Seth Greens performance. I'va always been a fan of his, and he delivered some pretty funny lines. Another thing that I was thankful for was the fact that the severed hand didn't once flip someone off like Evil Dead 2, Return of the Living Dead, and Leprechaun 4 did. it's a funny idea and all, just over-done. 4 out of 5.
