I first heard about tucker and dale vs evil on a blogging site where someone posted an article about it. Since it is an indie film with little advertising I hadn't previously heard of it but I recognised one of the actors as they made a guest appearance in 'Zack and Miri make a Porno' and found him funny so I presumed I was in for a treat, and thankfully I was right.

I suggested to my boyfriend that we watch it together and he was sceptical about it because the name makes it seem like it would be a shockingly bad film, but it isn't and I can happily say that he was pleasantly surprised and, well, I was right.

When you think of Horror Comedy you instantly think of something like "Scary Movie" right? Yeah so did I, I assumed it would be a ridiculous series of mockery of horror films but it actually wasn't, it was it's own movie in itself but still had that spoof element that points out the obvious flaws in horror movie plots.

Tucker and Dale are two redneck individuals who are perfectly innocent and polite creatures who are mistakenly assumed to be twisted axe murderers because of their social awkwardness. A group of teenagers cleverly decide to camp in the woods and after events occur, they start to become paranoid about tucker and dale and try and stop them from the evil they supposedly doing when in all the while Tucker and Dale are a little bit dim and are only trying to help.

They help one girl from the group who has an accident and she soon realises that they are completely friendly and helpful but their friends are all under the illusion that they are your typical horror story red necks who want to kill them - the rest goes on from there and the hilarity ensues.

I really enjoyed this film and I was rather surprised at how great it was. I expected it to be really cheesy and shoddily done but it seems it had a high budget for an indie film as it was really well made and the dialogue was great despite being sarcastic and ironic at times.

I absolutely recommend it as it is something that is well worth you time and I'm surprised it isn't that well known. You can watch it on American Netflix, via iTunes or download it from another source and can find it on ebay and amazon for very little.
