This is a nice blend of classic horror tropes with plenty of dark comedy. There's gruesome deaths played for laughs, a creepy cabin in the forest and endearingly naive characters. Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk deliver outstanding performances as Tucker and Dale, two ridiculously innocent hicks who are simply minding their own business and trying to enjoy a peaceful vacation at their secluded cabin. A group of college students arrive nearby who aren't in the movie they think they are. Tragicly, absurd misunderstandings ensue and the bodies pile up.
A fun film with laughs, low budget gore and a happy ending... Although it's light fare, for those so inclined "Tucker and Dale vs Evil" can also be interpreted as social commentary on class and stereotypes, but I preferred to just laugh at it. It's a one-gag film, but it's a good gag.
