Plot

Anton Tobias, a seventeen-year-old slacker, prefers the mundane existence of smoking weed, obsessively watching TV, and pining after Molly, the punk rock girl from across the street. His listless existence is abruptly disrupted one eerie Halloween morning when he finds his parents transformed into gruesome, headless decorations. The culprit? Anton's own right hand, now possessed by a relentless demon and thirsting for chaos. As this bloodthirsty appendage embarks on a murderous rampage, Anton's days of idleness are replaced by a desperate fight for control. His lethargic lifestyle crumbles as his hand, seemingly possessed with a mind of its own, cruelly eliminates his best friends, Mick and Pnub. But the demonic hand isn't just satisfied with a killing spree; it harbors a more sinister ambition. With the prom night countdown ominously ticking, the hand sets its sights on Molly, and a fate far worse than death looms for her. If it manages to claim Molly before the stroke of midnight, her soul will forever be condemned to hell. In the midst of this pandemonium, an unlikely source of help arrives. Mick and Pnub, Anton's recently deceased buddies, return from the underworld, ready to aid him in his precarious battle. In this nightmarish reality, Anton must confront his worst fears, break free of his indolence, and wrestle with his demonic hand. All the while, the clock is ticking, the stakes are rising, and the fate of his dream girl hangs in the balance. Will Anton overcome his inertia in time to save Molly, or will his idle hands prove to be the devil's playthings indeed?
