Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil


      Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a 2010 Canadian-America comedy horror film directed by Eli Craig. It is one of the best comedy film I've ever seen. As for its horror part, I could only say that it might be horror for some one because the characters died in kinda brutal way in the film, but in the same time their death is hilarious.
      The story happened with 9 college students camping in West Virginia, one of the student Chad are talking about the horror story about "Memorial Day Massacre" all the way in their trip. Which is about a hillbilly attack which took place 20 years ago. So when students met Tucker and Dale at gas station for the first time, they automatically assume Tucker and Dale are the same type hillbilly in the story judge by their apparel and behave. However, Tucker and Dale, two well-meaning hillbillies who have just bought the vacation home of their dreams, a cabin in forest. While Tucker and Dale was finishing during the night, a girl Allison from the student group had an accident falling into water and lost consciousness. So Tucker and Dale save her life and bring her back to cabin to take care, and left a note in the tree craft by knife says "we got your friend". While it totally looks like a threaten for those students specially when they had prejudice at first. So they took a series action try to fight back even kill Tucker and Dale but all failed in tragic way and died in hilarious way. In the other hand, Tucker and Dale was panic because they believed those college students are group of crazy students tying to suicide together and even want to kill the girl they saved.
       The whole stories is about prejudice and misunderstanding. The way of different people behave and speak brings the gap between each person. While it is not hard to change this, but people with prejudice will not accept others in the very first. One of the ironic settings in the film is those students are doing psychology in university. However, they ignored to judge by basic manners to solved problem that made their tragedy death. While Tucker and Dale two well-meaning hillbillies with not much education but still trying to solve misunderstanding in their way.
