Review of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010) by Mbeckford — 10 Oct 2020
Good horror-comedies are a rare find. It's not that there aren't many out there ("Cabin in the Woods," "Tremors," and "American Werewolf in London" come to mind), it's just that there aren't many horror-comedies to choose from, period.
Very likely it's not an easy exercise for filmmakers to balance comedy with scares/gore in a compelling way. "Tucker and Dale" is one of the better ones that turns the backwoods/hillbilly/Texas Chainsaw formula on its head to hilarious results.
Its more comedy than horror so its best not to take things too seriously and just enjoy the ride.
