Directed by Rodman Flender, 'Idle Hands' starred Devon Sawa, Seth Green, and Jessica Alba in a cult classic about a teen whose possessed hand goes on a murderous rampage.
Despite its clever premise and talented cast, 'Idle Hands' only grossed $5.4 million at the box office in 1999, making it ripe for rediscovery by modern audiences craving clever, offbeat horror-comedies.
