Tucker & Dale vs Evil is comedy horror film, written and directed by Eli Craig.[1] The film stars Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, and Jesse Moss.[2]
Plot
Tucker and Dale are two well-meaning hillbillies who just bought the vacation home of their dreams-- a lakefront cabin in the middle of the woods. Only their peace is disrupted when a group of rowdy teens choose their area of the forest to go camping. When a girl from the group falls into the lake (a result of Tucker and Dale startling her), they bring her back to their cabin to bandage her up. The catch: when they tell her friends they have her, the teens, under the influence of countless horror films, think they had kidnapped her. A chain of hilarious misunderstandings ensue, consisting of the teenagers accidentally killing themselves in front of the unsuspecting (and truly baffled) Tucker and Dale.
