Jumping in a different direction for night number 2 comes this late 90’s horror-comedy which got slammed by critics upon it’s initial release.

Fair enough. Any movie that feels this cake in the stank of the late 90’s (the worst part of that decade) and features The Offspring ought to get taken down a peg. But it’s not entirely unenjoyable, and its got some fun moments of gore, humor and of course, Halloween sprinkled throughout.

The story, if you’re unfamiliar, involves a young stoner named Anton, whom’s “idle hands” do the Devil’s work when one becomes possessed right before Halloween.

Tragedy ensues when Anton’s hand kills his parents and jis best pals. So naturally, much like its clear inspiration Evil Dead 2, he lops it off.

Problem solved, right? Naw.

This only makes matters worse, as the marauding hand goes on a rampage all over town leading up to a pretty fun high school Halloween party that could only take place in the fictional confines of Hollywood.

Some great make-up effects, fun supporting characters, and a wonderful physical performance from Devon Sawa make this horror comedy a fun watch. With the added touch of ambiance and Halloween, it’s a sure-fire October bet.

So take a few rips tonight and join Anton, his zombie buddies and a disembodied hand for some Halloween havoc.
