Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

A bit of a breath of fresh air is this in a low budget and yet well produced comedy horror that gives Død Snø and the likes a run for their money. Tucker & Dale Vs Evil follows two redneck hillbillies- Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine) who head into the woods in the Appellation Mountains so that they can drink some beers, do some fishing and fix up a worn down cabin to turn it into the holiday home of their dreams.

At the same time a group of preppy college kids are on a camping trip into the same woods also to have a good time. After a couple of run ins with the hillbillies, they assume that they must be your stereotypical inbred manic chainsaw wielding killers right out of Deliverance or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Bloody and Bloody Hilarious.

Overall : a self-aware satire that takes joy in ridiculing overused horror movie tropes in hilarious and, at times, heartwarming ways.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is a delightful satire of stereotypical teens trying to survive an attacker in the woods horror movies. I laughed nonstop from start to finish. This dark comedy hilariously mocks horror trope after horror trope producing a wonderfully funny film that horror and cinema fans will most appreciate. Still, anyone who has ever seen a slasher movie would also find it entertaining and amusing. Even with its dumb fun, Tucker and Dale somehow finds a way to make you care for the main characters and root for their survival. This movie is a hidden gem for any movie fan.
