Tucker and Dale VS Evil (2011)

Review by David Rupp



Tucker & Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin that Tucker just bought to fix it up and do a little fishin', but a group of college kids camping out nearby thinks they are a pair of deranged hillbillies and set out to save their friend who they think was abducted.
Written by Morgan Jurgenson & Eli Craig
Directed by Eli Craig
Starring:Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, Katrina Bowden and Jesse Moss.
So imagine two country boys, good natured and just wanting to spend some quality time fixing up their new cabin, drinking beer and fishing. Now throw in a group of college kids camping, uneasy, sharing horror stories and skinny dipping. What could possibly go wrong right?
When one of the girls falls off a rock into the lake and a fishing Tucker and Dale save her and pull her in their boat, the kids see this and panic and thats when the mayhem ensues. The bumbling pair of good samaritans try to get the girl back to her friends as the friends try to rescue her from what they think are killer hillbillies. As the college kids run into self inflicted freak accidents while trying to get Allison it doesn't look good for Tucker and Dale.
This movie is utterly awesome, it pays homage to some of the greats in horror culture while being truly hilarious. The acting is top notch, the setting and story are rock solid as well as well as the directing and writing. This is one of those that I feel is a must for true fans.
10/10
