A comedy-horror movie, nothing but laughs all around.

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2014)

It was a slow Friday night and a bunch of us were looking for a Netflix streaming movie to watch. Natalie and Creighton recommended this one. We were a bit leery but gave it a go. We enjoyed it all the way through, it is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while.
First off it is a parody of the type of story where good-looking college kids meet dangerous-looking characters from the back woods. The kinds that you might expect to kidnap you and dismember you into a wood chipper. In the process some of the college kids tell old stories about things that supposedly happened years ago.
Scruffy-looking Tyler Labine is Dale and old reliable Alan Tudyk is Tucker. Fast friends for a long time, Tucker buys a dilapidated cabin in the woods and the two of them load up the pickup truck with equipment to go straighten things out.
As fate would have it (or better yet, scriptwriting) a group of college kids are headed to the same general location for a fun weekend of drinking, swimming, and mischief. One of them is pretty Katrina Bowden as Allison, who somehow wanders off by herself, strips down to underwear and climbs on a rock to dive into water. In a boat not too far away are Dale and Tucker, observing, but when they make a noise Allison, startled, slips into the water and hits her head. The guys have to save her, and bring her to the cabin.
Meanwhile the rest of the college kids, with hot-headed Jesse Moss as Chad stirring the pot, the remaining ones decide Dale and Tucker are bad, trying to kill Allison, so they begin to do some real stupid things. Not all the college kids survive.
There is nothing socially redeeming about the story, it is just written as a parody and acted for laughs. And for that it works really well.
