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.

Its mixture of slapstick humour and gore -- produced by the flying fingers -- gives new meaning to the phrase digital effects.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Even pretensions toward the humorous and hip cannot save this blood-drenched film from its innate tastelessness!
Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times
Rotten
Dumb, blood-soaked, undeniably kinetic teen Guignol bash!
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
A disastrous attempt to mix comedy and horror!
Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
