Lol!! This is just too good!! What starts off
as a camping trip for some college kids turns into the weirdest, most unlikely chain of events that results in most of the kids dying
in the most crazy, hilarious ways! To quote the movie,, "do any of your friends take medication? Cause,, I think they forgot to take it."
Allison and her friends are taking time off from their crazy college schedules to go camping.
Tucker and Dale (2 hillbilly, good ole boys) are spending the weekend working on restoring the old cabin that Tucker just bought.
Allison falls off a boulder into the lake, knocking herself out in the process. Tucker n Dale are close by in their boat, so they rescue her from drowning,, but from Allison's friends vantage point,, it looks like the hillbillies are abducting their friend,,, and then the hilarity and devestation begins.
This is a black comedy,, but it's so freakin' good that everyone should see it! Lol!!

Imagine a horror movie where all of the young kids who serve as the film's victims die gruesome deaths but where you don't have to feel guilty about enjoying the killings because the kids are the aggressors and are either too stupid or too evil to live anyway. That's what you have with "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil," a very funny horror comedy that upends the psychotic-hillbilly motif that's played so straight in so many other movies by having the hillbillies be sweet, lovable guys who don't understand why a bunch of preppy college kids are attacking them.
Not only is the movie funny, but it's surprisingly sweet and smart, with two terrific performances at its center and some clever writing throughout that prevents what could have been a one-note joke from imploding.
And I'm going to start including "frat bitch" as part of my standard vocabulary.
Grade: A

What a wonderful, light hearted, enjoyable movie, with a great cast and a great story, you'll find yourself in stitches at the scenarios in this movie. How some the characters end up dying is just priceless, and our Tucker and Dale justifying what is going on as logically as they can. I just loved tucker and dale, the actors are just amazing, and seeing Alan in any project is always a welcome delight. A strong recommendation if your looking for a good flick to check out, get some good popcorn in, sit back and enjoy!
Eli Craig did a masterful job in presenting the best horror comedy since "Suck."
Playing on the tried and true "Flinstones Plot" of miscommunication that may drive some viewers crazy, Craig brings the gore and the humor with great special effects and wonderful acting. Best of all, of course, the story is solid with an interesting and poignant antagonist development that is extremely impressive.
Better still, the laughs aren't cheap and silly.
And if you live in the southern United States and hate how "southern folk", "backwoods families" and "hillbillies" are exploited for horror purposes, you'll love this tremendous twist on such a overused and ill-conceived cliché.
This is one of the greatest horror comedies ever presented on film.

This is one of those rare examples of a funny horror film that actually is funny. Never got a release here in UK which it should have had and so after really good reviews in the DVD mags here, i rented it.What really made it entertaining for me , a lover of films where teens going to meet their end by nasty guys who live in the woods , is that this film turns the whole idea on it's head by having the backwoods guys being caring and really good, and the teens getting the wrong end of the stick by causing all the deaths due to accidents. The two lead performers bounce off each other beautifully with a cracking good script which for a comic send up is so important.The film looks ace and special effects are above standard. This will become a cult film and for all my 60 years of loving slice and dice movies, i can really say this is really worth your time,watch with some beers and enjoy.

- TriviaThe opening scenes on the road were shot during a thunderstorm.
- GoofsWhen Tucker prepares the nail gun for Dale to use as a diversion, the air hose falls out just before the shot ends.
- Crazy creditsSPOILERS: In the opening scene, just before the opening credits, the "found footage" of the female reporter and her cameraman are the same reporting team that is shown at the end of the film reporting from the crime scene on the TV in Tucker's hospital room. The figure who attacks them out of the darkness is obviously Chad, who like all classic teen slasher villains has come back to life after seemingly being killed by the end of the movie and possibly setting up for a sequel.
