Another example of Postmodern horror that excels with big laughs and great character acting. Tucker and Dale (played by the great Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine) are two hillbillies going into the woods to spend their vacation in their new vacation home. Then a group of college kids assume they're evil hillbillies (as seen in movies like Deliverance) and a series of bad assumptions lead to a battle of wills. What a satisfying and rewarding twist. If you like gory comedy than you're in for a treat. Grade: B+
Spoiler Alert: I only had one problem with this film and that is how the film makers open with a reporter and her camera man being killed. The film makers lead you to believe this is a set up for a sequel by bookending it, but it's a completely unnecessary scene.
