I'm not gonna say too much other than this movie had some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments.

Definitely worth checking out.

I really liked this film a lot.  Very clever.  I worried it would be kind of one-note, but they managed to get a lot from the concept.

The funny thing about this movie is that they don't have an American distributor so Tyler Labine (Star) urges people to download it from torrent sites which is awesome.

THEY DON'T HAVE A U.S DISTRIBUTOR!!!??? WTF? WHY? IT'S AMAZING!!!

It's kinda hard to explain the concept without completely giving away everything but the basics, it's about a group of friends who go in the woods and get killed off one-by-one for those that don't know.

You REALLY have to see it whether you're a horror fan or comedy person who hates horror movies and the smae plot every time.

Magnet picked this one up for distribution here in the states.
It got a simultaneous limited theatrical and VOD release.
It's playing in a couple hundred theaters right now across the nation.

Some great physical gags in this one, for sure.
And I am a HUGE Alan Tudyk fan ever since I saw "A Knight's Tale".
Then the jerk made me cry in "Serenity".
Best interracial romance in a sci-fi film ever with a female Lando type.

I felt the comedy here was a bit too, self aware.
The meta knowledge approach typically rubs me the wrong way.
Subjugating the Deliverance formula into a gory satire is not a bad idea.

Tucker and Dale were great, the Evil part, I has issues with.
Still, I support this indie charmer.
Though I probably would've liked "Tucker & Dale Go Fishing" even better.

That should be the sequel!
Piranha 3-DD just got moved off the schedule.
Tucker and Dale combat man eating fish during hillbilly spring break! ;D

E.D.
