| Director: Eli Craig (2011) |
Despite being totally stupid, there’s
something so gratifying about Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. Seemingly tired with
modern horror films, Director Eli Craig has crafted a fine satire that spends its
time poking fun at a genre that is conventional to the point of predictability.
Tucker and Dale are 2 beer loving rednecks who buy a woodland cabin as a
holiday home, only to be attacked by a group of ignorant college kids our duo
rescue their beautiful friend (Katrina Bowden) from drowning. What makes the
film so fresh is the change of perspective, we see through the eyes of the
supposed ‘villains’; good, honest men who’re misunderstood by today’s idiotic
youth. Soon the gore and humour flow freely, but the film is on a slow descent
by the end of the first act, the runtime unfortunately outlasts the smart,
fresh concept.
