At first glance, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil might look like another horror flick, where murderers run amok and whittle a group of people down, person by person; but take a closer look. You can watch the trailer here, and even through the short trailer you'll see that it isn't really what it seems like. If you had to sum it up into one sentence you might say that it's the opposite of all the other movies that involve college kids and a couple of hillbilly looking guys.
Summary:
(Highlight the grey text boxes SPOILER with your mouse to see spoilers if you dare)
Tucker and Dale are just two misunderstood hillbillies looking to get away for a bit, and they finally have a place to get away to: their new vacation home. At the same time that Tucker and Dale are taking their vacation, a group of college kids decide to take a camping trip in the woods. As you can see from the poster Dale isn't an ugly guy, he's just.. different. The problem is Dale psychs himself out, and gets pretty nervous around the ladies. The first time that the hillbillies and college kids really meet is at a gas station, where Dale does his best to strike up conversation with a very pretty college girl named Allison. Because of the aforementioned psyching, Dale comes off just a bit creepy to these college kids; they react like he might be deranged or something, (weird right? He looks like such a nice guy on the poster.) Later on, while the college kids decide to go swimming, Tucker and Dale are fishing in the same lake, and save Allison when she almost dies. Tucker yells to the rest of the kids that they've got their friend, and the kids think that Allison is being kidnapped. Things begin to go downhill fast when the college kids start accidentally killing themselves while trying to rescue Allison from Tucker and Dale.
In my own opinion, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a great movie. It has plenty of one liners, "Are you okay?" along with the chaos caused by some oblivious people on both sides of the action. Granted, the movie gets somewhat bloody, which you don't really get from the trailer, but if you were to find a more mature trailer, which there are, you may see what I'm talking about. If you can make it past the blood or if blood simply does not bother you, and enjoy the movie for the humor it really has, it'll be worth it.
