EVIL\r\n\r\nTucker & Dale vs. Evil\r\nby Sarah Browne\r\n\r\nWatch this if: You know, deep down, that the Scary Movie franchise just isn’t where it’s at, horror-parody-wise. It doesn’t hurt if you enjoy watching guys dive head-first into woodchippers too.\r\nSpoiler Alert! Spoilers everywhere (but really, you’re not reading about The Fountain or something by Lars Von Trier – any surprises here aren’t really that surprising; that’s not the point of watching a Bad Movie)!\r\nPicture this, a group of Middle-American youngsters go on a camping trip in Hillbilly territory; two Hillbilly types enter the scene, heading out to their creepy, decrepit… holiday home? You’ve seen it all before, right? Wrong! There’s only one bad guy in this movie, and it’s neither of the Hillbillies. They do end up killing a bunch of the youths, but it’s completely by accident – no, really! That incident with the guy falling into the woodchipper; the “killer bees” (which, incidentally, are what we in SA just know as garden variety bees) chasing that guy into the mysteriously sharp and protruding tree branch; that dude falling into the conveniently grave-like outhouse hole (and onto the spade that dug it out); fires that burn the actual bad guy’s face, forming a fitting disfigurement; hilariously poor aim with a chainsaw – this movie has it all.\r\n\r\n
