Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil

September 8, 2011

I loved this flick. It is a hilarious take on the slasher genre.

Two hillbillies buy a summer home in the woods. Along the way college kids mistake them for killers. Awesomeness occurs. I loved how Tucker and Dale are incredibly nice guys who just think that college kids are killing themselves around them.

Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Knight’s Tale) and Tyler Labine (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Reaper) are pitch perfect as the two guys who just want to fix up their summer home, drink beer and fish. I loved all their reactions at the crazy things going on around them.

I loved the concept of this film. It reminded me of Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. 

 

Any time you can take the horror genre and spin it on its head it is a beautiful thing.

The biggest problem with this film is that the previews gave most of the laughs away. However, the only way to hook people on the concept is to have them watch the preview. It is a double-edged sword.

Hopefully, you will just take my word and rent the film On Itunes, On Demand, or PS3. It is ten dollars but well worth it. Support the film, recommend it, and enjoy the niceness that is Tucker and Dale.

If you do want to watch the trailer check out the September Movie Preview.
