Idle Hands (1999)
If Dude Where’s My Car and Evil Dead 2 had a baby. This might be the most 90s movie ever made.
A Halloween stoner comedy about a possessed hand. What more do you need? It’s funny, gross, cheap, and dumb. I loved it. The special effects were surprisingly great - the hand stuff works way better than it has any right to. And the whole thing moves with this manic energy that kept me grinning throughout.
I had so much fun with this. They don’t really make movies like this anymore. That’s probably fine. I still miss it.
