Tucker & Dale vs. Evil Review

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a 2010 comedy horror movie. The film was produced by Eden Rock Media, Looby Lou, Reliance BIG Pictures, and Urban Island and distributed by Magnet Releasing. Tucker & Dale vs. Evil was written by Eli Craig and Morgan Jurgenson and directed by Eli Craig.

The story is two hillbilly friends named Tucker & Dale are planning to enjoy a nice backwoods vacation. It seems normal enough until some college students mistaken them for serial killers. Tucker & Dale's vacation suddenly takes a bloody turn and now they must fight back before the students kill them.

One thing I loved about this movie was the humor. I had a lot of good laughs with this movie, and I think my favorite moment might have been when the sheriff and the college kids showed up at Tucker & Dale's cabin. Not gonna spoil anything I'll just say whatever you think could go wrong does.

What I also loved about Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is how it pulls off being a good blend of horror and comedy. I was expecting one to overshadow the other but that wasn't the case at all. Both are evenly balanced.

Another aspect of the film that made it great was Tucker and Dale are very likable characters. Nowhere in this entire movie can you find a reason to hate them, the writers did a good job making us love these two.

The other thing to enjoy about this flick is the homages. The movie truly does pay tribute to the whole killer hillbilly films that came before it while also paying homage to other horror films, such as one scene where it's a tribute/parody of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The final thing I'll praise the movie for is the performances from Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine. They really played these characters to perfection. Not only that but their chemistry together was also one of the highlights of the film.

Guys I only recently watched/discovered this movie and I already have it listed as one of my favorites. It has great humor, a perfect blend of horror and comedy, I loved the protagonists, the homages are nice, and Tudyk and Labine give great performances.

My final rating is A Must Watch

Okay guys, that's going to do it for me. Come back on Thursday, Oct 15th for my review of the newest DC animated feature, Batman: Death in the Family. Until then enjoy the rest of your day and please give this one a watch. You won't be disappointed.
