movie review - Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

This is a movie that attempts to tell the tale of the Cabin in the Woods from the point of view of the supposed inbred hillbillies that terrorize the urban teenagers. In this telling, two confused fellows arrive at a work site to witness a series of grisly accidental deaths. Coming to believe that it's a "death cult" they do what it takes to survive.

I thoroughly enjoyed this lunatic goofy piece.

Recommended.

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
