Many viewers have considered this a cult classic for it's comedy and horror but this viewer says it falls flat. While there were some minor elements of humor I found the script to be poorly developed, the context of horror was laughable. A simpleminded plot based on college kids going to the lake and run into two hillbillies just out for their own redneck fun. Stereotypes develop the plot and away the stupidity goes. I felt compelled to give it 4 out of 10

I don't normally get attached to characters, but I especially loved Dale and Allison! It's very rare for horror or even comedies to get me to care about their characters, but this movie was an exception! I see "predictable" in some of the other reviews, but this is not the case! I was expecting this to go the way of "Of Mice and Men". Spoilers for that book, Tucker and Dale are very similar to George and Lennie. Actually very similar! We were just missing the rabbits! Thus, I was predicting Tucker to have to kill Dale due to accidentally killing Allison. Honestly, there were a couple of parts of the movie, I was on the edge of my seat! "Is Allison okay!??" First in the cabin, one of the college kids was shooting their cabin with the sheriff's gun. I was expecting Allison to get hit by a stray bullet, and furthering the strife between Tucker, Dale, and the College Kids. But that would have been really tragic and broke the comedic tone. Then, at the end, I was expecting Allison to get hit with a bowling ball right after she took of the helmet Dale bought her. Like, all the college kids were cursed or something, ala Final Destination. So, yeah, this movie is far from predictable!

Fun take on the teen slasher movies. Several hilarious laugh out loud scenes. If you like Evil Dead movies you will like this.

RELEASED IN 2010 and written & directed by Eli Craig, "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil" is a comedy/horror about genial West Virginian hillbillies Tucker & Dale (Alan Tudyk & Tyler Labine) who visit their newly acquired rundown cabin-in-the-woods wherein they are mistaken as psycho hilljack killers by a group of vacationing college youths.This is a well-done lampoon of flicks like "Deliverance" (1972) "Wrong Turn" (2003) and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974). Besides being consistently amusing, what works best is that you get to know Tucker and, especially, Dale, as well as the main girl (Katrina Bowden), who's very reminiscent of Christine Taylor (from "The Brady Bunch Movie"), albeit taller. Freckled cutie Chelan Simmons looks her best clad in daisy dukes throughout. The coniferous woods give away that this was shot in the Great Northwest and not West Virginia, where the events purportedly take place. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour & 29 minutes and was shot Alberta, Canada (e.g. Cochrane & Bottrel). ADDITIONAL WRITER: Morgan Jurgenson. GRADE: B
