Tucker & Dale vs. Evil ***

"Tucker & Dale vs Evil" is a hilarious send up of horror slasher movies. Picture two backwoods types on their way to their cabin in the West Virginia mountains. They look creepy to the carload of college girls and dudes who see them when they stop to buy beer, on their way to camp out near the cabin, it turns out. The college kids' worst suspicions seem to be confirmed when the pretty one goes missing, and the two backwoods boys, who are really sweet, normal guys, seem to be responsible. A slasher comedy of errors ensues, and the body count starts to rise. All the conventions of this horror genre are fair game for ridicule, along with popular culture, college stereotypes, and pop psychology. Whatever your opinion of the count-the-ways-they-die horror flick, this one will make you laugh.
