Synopsis

Anton’s can’t control the murderous impulses of his possessed hand.

Film

Anton Tobias, who spends his life watching TV and getting high, has his hand possessed by a spirit whose intentions are to kill as many people as possible and then take an innocent soul back to hell. Anton’s attempt to stop his hand from doing these acts is aided by his two recently zombiefied friends and a druid priestess.
Put simply this film is awful, the film tries to act as a comedy and a horror movie and fails at both. The jokes just aren’t funny, in any scenes that are meant to be suspenseful there is no suspense built up due to all the goofing around in the background, and the horror scenes and it isn’t scary at all. I wasn’t expecting a great storyline when I bought the DVD; I bought it more for the aforementioned horror/comedy aspects but the story very predictable, was full of holes and verged on ridiculous at times. The acting was uninspired with a lacklustre performance from everyone.
If you have any respect for yourself then avoid this film.
