Overview
Anton is a cheerful but exceedingly non-ambitious 17-year-old stoner who lives to stay buzzed, watch TV, and moon over Molly, the beautiful girl who lives next door. However, it turns out that the old cliché about idle hands being the devil's playground has a kernel of truth after all.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Its mixture of slapstick humour and gore -- produced by the flying fingers -- gives new meaning to the phrase digital effects.
Even pretensions toward the humorous and hip cannot save this blood-drenched film from its innate tastelessness!
Dumb, blood-soaked, undeniably kinetic teen Guignol bash!
A disastrous attempt to mix comedy and horror!
