Finally had a bit of time for a film and from my list chose Tucker and Dale vs Evil. A nice horror comedy as two backswoods yokels travelling to their 'fixer-upper' holiday home run into a bunch of college kids. The kids mistake our eponymous heroes for red-neck psychos and various misunderstandings and bloody accidents reinforce their mistake whilst poor old Tucker and Dale wonder why college kids are 'committing suicide' on their property. Cliches are turned upside down, but become cliches themselves by the end of the film with the rather obvious 'appearances can be decieving' 'look for the beauty within' smaltz thankfully subsumed by irreverent humour and gory deaths.
6/10
