Tucker & Dale vs Evil is a 2010 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 run-down, lakefront cabin in the middle of the woods. Only their peace is disrupted when a group of rowdy college students choose their area of the forest to go camping. When one of the girls 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 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.

Production

The production began in June 2009 with the casting of the actors. Principal photography started one month later in Calgary Alberta.[3] In October 2009 post production ensued in British Columbia and released first images as part of American Film Market.[4]On 31 October 2009, the first trailer was released.[5]

Release

It premiered on 22 January 2010 at Sundance Film Festival[6] and was on 12 March 2010 part of the SXSW Film Festival.[7]
