Movie Review- Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

I would hardly call this a horror-comedy. This plays out more as a dark comedy of errors, really. And it works perfectly. It's a great twist on the slasher genre, where the twentysomethings are the villains, due to a large misunderstanding. Tucker and Dale are really well-developed characters, and are quite likable, a trait often missing from this type of movie. The color-correction was done to the extreme, which seemed almost as an intentional parody of most modern horror movies that use too much of it, which was quite funny in a subtle way. The script was great for this type of film, very witty and believable, although a bit silly at times. My only complaint is that the special effects for the death scenes were done almost entirely in post-production, and it's quite noticeable. But that being said, it is an indie film, so I'll cut them some slack on that part. Overall a very funny movie from beginning to end, and surprisingly heartfelt. Definitely recommended. 5/5
