Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

At first glance, you might think that this is another slasher film where everybody dies except for the main character and his love interest.  Well, you would be partly right.  Add in a boat load of comedy and then you have this movie.

 

These college kids are going camping and they forgot their beer.  So they stop in to get beer at the corner store and enter in Dale and Tucker.  The kids think that Dale and Tucker are a couple of backwoods hillbillies and think the worst.  But Dale just wanted to talk to one of the pretty girls.

 

Tucker sank his life savings into a fixer-upper vacation home that he and Dale are going to so that they can begin working.  It just so happens that the college kids have set up camp nearby and then the trouble starts.  There is one misunderstanding after another and also several killings that happen accidentally.

 

As you can see, I am not giving away much to this movie because it is so much fun to watch.  There is a lot of things to laugh at and the movie keeps you entertained the entire movie long.  I would definitely recommend watching this movie once or twice.

 

I give this movie 5 out of 5 Memorial Day Massacres.

Adam and Evil

This movie takes a long time to develop.  An extremely long time.  And the twist at the end is outlandish.  Something tells me that the writers didn't know how to tie all of this together.  They had a plot, they had a group of characters, and they had their killer.  What they didn't have was a plausible way to make all of the pieces fit.

 

A small group of high school graduates, who all look like they are in their mid to late twenties, are going away for a weekend to celebrate.  They picked a campground that hasn't seen any real action in a while.  A murder had occurred at the campground and the murderer was never caught.  That doesn't seem to stop these kids from camping out.

 

They set up camp and begin to have a little fun.  One kid has a lot of fun with the sheriff's wife.  As she is leaving his tent, one of the other guys witnesses her leave and thinks nothing of it.  Except, he is the first victim.  It's not until the next night when they discover his body in the tent.  Then the panic starts and the victims begin to pile up.

 

I won't give away the twist that the writers threw in for the ending, but the one person who they thought was doing the killing, actually saves them in the end.
