Bloody and a little cussy, but outrageous fun

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2015)

I got wind of this movie from searching comedies IMDb top 1000 from 1995 onward. Something about the reviews impressed me more than usual. So glad I took a look. Very funny. I noticed some comments referring to the trailers. I hope the trailers didn't spoil the first scene were Dale is trying to make it with the college girl. That would be a shame. That's about the funniest movie scene I've ever seen. Better than anything from Woody Allen's early days. All you need to know is what's going on and a still picture from the perspective/view of the college girl. That should be in a movie poster, but not in a trailer. I don't think what I've said is a spoiler because it just tells you that it's very funny. Now that you know, maybe you won't die laughing and miss the rest of the movie. Otherwise... I enjoyed the romance. Did not enjoy the gore, but I suppose most people would consider it faky. Didn't like the foul language, but it wasn't pervasive. Like the synopsis says, this movie is a great twist on the worn out horror movie so often featuring inbred, chainsaw wielding hillbillies. Maybe it would have been more popular if they had named it something like "College Kids Gone Wild" instead of featuring the downtrodden hillbillies. Whether or not the fault was marketing, it's a downright shame this here movie was overlooked.
In case it helps, other comedies I enjoy... Just Like Heaven (2005), Blazing Saddles (1974), Mars Attacks! (1996), Anchorman (2004) up until near the end, Caddyshack (1980), Dumb & Dumber (1994), Idiocracy (2006), Intolerable Cruelty (2003), Men in Black (1997). Hopefully I'm not missing many contemporary gems like the current movie.
