Tucker and Dale are two best friends on vacation at their mountain vacation house which needs lots of fixing up.
They're mistaken as evil hilibillies by a group of preppy college kids. The college kids decide to take matter in their
own hands when Tucker and Dale rescue one of the kids from drowing. They think Tucker and dale have kidnapped her.
What follows is a series of bigger and bigger misunderstanding which results in a rising body count. Tucker and Dale
think the college kids are commiting suicide while the leader of the preppy college kids remembers all too well what happened
to his parents who were murdered by evil hilibillies when he was very young. His mother survived long enough to give
birth to him.
TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL is a funny upside down take on the backwoods horror genre where the hilibilles are just good
guys while the college kids misunderstand what is happening. The deaths are impressive while the cast is
impressive playing it straight which ignites some laughs. If it wasn't for Alan Tudyk being in this film, I probably
wouldn't have checked it out. Tyler Labine is just as funny as Tudyk is in this movie. I
love how the hilibillies are just as good hearted and just as clueless as the Beverly Hilibillies while you do cheer when
the preppy college kids die (because they are just really annoying which I think is the point). If you're looking
for a spoof of the horror genre, TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL is an excellent 88 minutes to enjoy yourself.
