Movie of the Month: Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil

Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil (2010)
Director: Eli Craig
Starring: Tyler Labine

Two hillbillies buy their dream vacation home in the woods, a run down cabin that needs a lot of work. Their peace and quiet is interupted by a group of college kids camping near their cabin. When one of the girls sees Tucker and Dale, she's startled and falls off a rock and hits her head, landing in the water. Tucker and Dale realize she isn't coming up and they go in to save her. They bring her back to the cabin to bandage her up, but her friends think they have kidnapped her. A chain of misunderstandings happens and the college kids start  accidentally killing themselves.

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is absolutley hysterical. I don't remember the last time I have laughed this hard during a movie. The situation evolves early in the film which leads to tons of misfortunes on the college kids parts. The gore effects are amazing as well. This movie is the american Shaun of the Dead, and in my opinion is actually funnier. Highest Recommendation.
