Tucker & Dale vs, Evil is a 2010 horror/comedy film--from Canada, no less!--about a couple of good ol' boys who get mistaken for serial killers. While on "vacation" at their "vacation" home (which is really a beat-down cabin in the woods!), Tucker & Dale come across some snooty college kids who immediately look down their noses at them. One night while they're doing some night-fishing, Tucker & Dale catch one of the hot college chicks falling into the lake and hitting her head on a rock knocking her unconscious while she and her friends are out doing some late-night skinny-dipping. So they decide to take her back to their cabin and nurse her back to health. Of course, her snooty college friends mistakenly believe that the rednecks kidnapped her to do unspeakably horrible things to her. So they take it upon themselves to "rescue" her from said redneck degenerates. This, of course, doesn't go none too well for said snooty college kids; like, for instance, when one of them makes a run at Tucker while he's throwing some old wood through his wood chipper and, just when Tucker turns around, the snooty college kid falls headfirst into the wood chipper. Hilarious! Anyway, it turns out that the "leader" of the college group harbors a serious grudge against any & all rednecks/hillbillies as his mother was the lone survivor of what was known as the Memorial Day Massacre where a hillbilly serial killer went on a murderous rampage in the very same woods 20 years earlier. And things go from bad to worse as he and his college buddies "accidentally" set fire to their cabin when they again try to "rescue" her and the head college guy kidnaps the girl when he believes she's "gone hillbilly" and Dale goes and rescues her. One of the things that makes Tucker & Dale vs. Evil so funny is that it pokes fun at all the horror flicks over the years where the killers are usually--you guessed it!--psychotic hillbillies. And, yes, there's enough hardcore gore in this flick to satisfy even the more ardent horror flick fan! Best line in the flick (from Dale): "I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad I'm not hung like a bear!" Second best line (from Tucker): "He's heavy for half a guy!"
