Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2011)

Can't we all just get a long?
A group of college kids go camping in the Appalachians and are terrorized by two hillbillies.  At least that's what they think.  But Tucker and Dale are not trying to scare them or even kill them.  These kind and well meaning country boys try to communicate with the college kids, but send the wrong messages.  For me this the new Shaun of the Dead (and that's saying a lot).  And like SotD, it pokes fun at the genre without being cliché; it's a horror film that also happens to be funny, very funny.  I've wanted to see it since it came out earlier this year, but it was not released in my area.  Thankfully, Netflix has it now. This is Eli Craig's first full-length film as writer/director, and I can't wait to see what he does next.
