summary
Tucker & Dale vs Evil is no doubt one of the most pleasant surprises of the year, delivering the most hilarious horror trip since the celebrated Shaun of the Dead a few years back. Thoroughly engaging and backed by a well-written plot, this little indie film puts a new twist on the slasher genre, twisting things around and making for plenty of laugh out loud moments while at it. Lead actors Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk are outstanding in their roles, and the characters of Tucker and Dale will surely become cult favourites in the future. If you're looking for a killer comedy, look no further than Tucker & Dale vs Evil.
