Quite possibly the most mantentotic movie one will ever find. Anton's hand is not a mere subplot of a larger story; it is the entire story. Possessed by the devil himself, this hand is able to kill more people while wristbound than most movie serial killers who have an entire body to work with! Indeed, the abnormally high cast of corpses may lead one to wonder if this really is a manautotentatiome: it doesn't try to kill its host as early and as often as most are wont to do. In the end, though, there was just enough suffering inflicred upon the host for this movie to be let in.

The devil, it seems, gets his kicks by possessing the hand of the lazyist person he can find (idle hands being the devil's playground and all that) and making said hand do a lot of evil things. Anton Tobias (Devon Sawa) is just such a lazt person. One day, his right hand just starts killing people indescriminately. Soon, the bodies are piling up, his friends' zombies are bugging him about their untimely death, and, horror of horrors, he has to take a young Jessica Alba to the school's Halloween Party! If the last one doesn't sound so bad, please refer back to the bit about the hand killing random people. Meanwhile, Vivica A. Fox has a mystic knife, and has to stick it in that hand before Satan gets bored, and darts back home, taking all the sould he can get his hands on. Like that old Price is Right game, only everyone goes to hell, and Bob Barker has horns.

Basically, whay you get here is all the possible living hand gags one writer could possible cram into one script. How can this be a bad thing? Is that not the ideal of all movies? Well, no. The reader is invited to imagine a large plate of mashed potatoes. Filling, yes, but bland. Now add a few drops od Tobasco sauce to the potatoes. So much better, yes? Logically, the next thing to do is drink an entire bottle of Tobasco, right? NO! It's called too much of a good thing, and though Sawa's performance was excellent and quite convincing, manautotentation is a condiment, friends, not a meal.

Worth special mention are the two zombies, Mick and Pnub (Seth Greene and Elden Henson), had the focus shifted to them more often, this would have been much better. As it stands, it needs a little work. Ring Finger!
