Entertaining teen horror spoof with some amusing, almost likeable characters and some purposely fake-looking gore that just makes you laugh at how cheesy it looks. I would definitely watch this movie again.... Full review

The jokes are mostly clever and the special effects are amusing.....The dialog may lack wit, but it still is undeniably campy entertainment.....This is Rodman Flender's most enjoyable film, which really isn't saying much.....An enjoyable comedy horror, but you have to be in the mood for campy fun.....Not a great movie, but does deserve some credit for taking a reused material.... ...

This movie is actually pretty well made for a low-budget horror comedy.
Flender's direction is competent, and the actors are very talented.
I had heard things about this movie, but he insisted it was really, really funny.

Idle Hands" is bloody, violent, dumb, and shallow, but it also boosts some clever ideas amidst the rising body count.
Idle Hands" is a delirious, no-holds-barred attempt at creating a slasher movie with lots of campy and outrageous humor.
