Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
“Evil just messed with the wrong hillbillies.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Two decent men try to enjoy a cabin holiday while nearby students mistake them for killers. Each attempted act of kindness somehow makes the evidence look worse. The misunderstandings build into terrific splatter farce, even if the biggest laughs arrive before the final stretch.
