I saw that a couple of you have seen this already, but I just saw this over the weekend and thought that it deserved a thread. I enjoyed the hell out of it - probably more than I should have, because it was a better movie than it should have been. Destined for cult movie status.

If you can handle some blood and gore, and, especially if you love movies like Evil Dead 2 or Sean of the Dead, you should see this thing.
Technically, it's not really a horror/comedy, because there's not much in the way of real horror stuff, other than the blood and guts. The horror thing is just a jumping-off premise for what is a really funny, gory comedy of errors.

Plot synopsis:
Quote:
Two lovable West Virginian hillbillies, are headed to their "fixer-upper" vacation cabin to drink some beer, do some fishin', and have a good time. But when they run into a group of preppy college kids who assume from their looks that they must be in-bred, chainsaw wielding killers, Tucker & Dale's vacation takes a bloody & hilarious turn for the worse.


Trailer:

I had seen the trailer a good two years before it finally made it's rounds on the festival circuit....The trailer made is seem like a classic, and I built it up real real high in my mind..

And as you can probably guess what happened, I saw it and was dissapointed. DOn't get me wrong, it was a solid indie 'horror' and made me laugh in a lot of parts, but it wasn't as great as I had hoped and while in time I may appreciate it more, I don't see it having the lasting impact of a 'Shawn of the Dead' and or 'Evil Dead'....

It was a fun 90 minutes tough....

See, I had no expectations for it whatsoever. Prolly all the difference.
