Fun fun and more fun

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2017)

In true teen horror flick style, some college frat house boys are on a road trip with some hot girls. The terror starts when they realise they've left all their beer behind and end up stopping off in some sort of incesty, hills have eyes, weird old town. This is where they meet (and are freaked out by) Tucker and Dale.
The college kids later find themselves camping in the same woods where Tucker and Dale have just bought a new holiday home. They go skinny dipping (obviously) in the lake, as Tucker and Dale are fishing. Allison, who is the love interest of the main man, Chad, falls in and as the two pals save her on their boat, the kids assume they are weird psycho killers who have captured her. Hilarity follows and as Allison's friends try to save her, completely innocent circumstances result in them being mutilated or impaled in one way or another.
What I liked most about this was that the humour was quite natural. It wasn't forced or cheesy and I found myself giggling practically throughout the whole film. That's quite unusual for a parody type film. We need a moment to talk about Dale! We all need a buddy like Dale in our lives ... hell - I need a Dale in my life!! Tyler Labine stole the show (and my heart ðŸ˜†) as the lovable, awkward hillbilly, and he even gets the beautiful blonde at the end. It uses the basic formula to most horror films these days, throws in a heavy helping of fun and the result is the most enjoyable 89 minutes I've had in a long time #sadbuttrue.
