Tucker & Dale vs Evil is a horror/comedy that initially debuted at 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Tonight I saw the film during a screening at the Toronto Underground Cinema (though it’s also supposed to get a limited release next month).
The film can be best described as a reverse horror movie, since most of the events in the film come from a series of misunderstandings. It’s quite funny watching pair of dimwitted, yet kind-hearted, hillbillies deal with a group of preppy college kids, who just happen to keep dying in various gruesome (yet accidental) ways.
The film takes on the form of the a more standard horror film towards the end, though the roles are still reversed. It just makes it all the more funny that the true evil in the film is a guy in a polo shirt.
It was definitely an enjoyable film.
8/10
