Worth seeing

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2011)

"Tucker and Dale vs Evil" is a low budget breath of fresh air. The movie takes the standard "killer rednecks" genre and completely twists it around to make the entire enterprise original. Seeing things twisted around results in a lot of humorous and unexpected moments. But the movie remembers it's a B movie, and makes sure to deliver a lot of gory sequences (though no nudity, surprisingly.) The acting all around is very good, with top honors going to the actors who play the title characters.
It's a movie well worth seeing, though I have two (minor) quibbles with it. First of all, after a while, the movie seems to be repeating the same joke over and over. Though the joke in question is a fresh and funny joke, towards the end it still feels a little extended. The other objection I had is with the cinematography - the colors often look too washed out when they should have been stronger. Still, those two nitpicks didn't stop me from enjoying the movie.
