Idle Hands (1999)
7/10
Bulging eyes (DVD)

Thanks to Jessica Alba to make me discover this little gem, because without her, I don't think I would have picked this movie, and it would have been a great error!

It's a funny horror movie even thought it seems opposite! But, don't be afraid, it's above all a comedy. I have my best laughs since "Mr Bean", six months ago! The scenes with the pets (dog and cat) are hilarious!

The idea of the demonic hand is original, and the actor played it for real!

The director is very talented: he knows where to put a camera and finds great angles for the shoots! He pays attention to the colors (the wood walls of the house are as orange as the pumpkins!). His commentary with the cast is really interesting! He loves the cinematographic language, puts a lot references. For sure, he has gained a fan with me and I will follow his work!

I would end with the same question made in my "Valkyrie" review: Where's my native french cinema? Why movies for teens aren't made in my country, or so scarcely (see "Sheitan"). Enlightments without imagination is a void shell
