11.03.09 NEW HORROR COMEDY MAY CONTAIN ACTUAL COMEDY
This is the trailer for Eli Craig’s Tucker & Dale vs. Evil ,starring the great and still-surprisingly-unknown Alan Tudyk. It’s a horror comedy that thankfully doesn’t involve zombies. Instead it takes the familiar college-kids-go-camping-in-the-backwoods plot, but the twist is that this time, the hillbillies are the good guys, and they only seem like psycho killers because of repeated, Three’s Company-esque misunderstandings. Even if the writing turns out to be not as good as, say, Zombieland, I appreciate that writer-director Craig took a more novel approach than just ripping off Shaun of the Dead.
As a person who grew up in the country, I also appreciate someone finally taking on that odd horror movie cliché where everyone from the country lives to terrorize city folk. It doesn’t even make sense. If you came to my home town, we wouldn’t do anything bad to you, we’d probably just take you out to blow stuff up and drink beers around a bonfire. Unless you touch my ’still, in which case I would pork you in the rape hole just to learn you a lesson.

Alan Tuckdyk is Lady GaGa’s real name.
Banner caption: “What’re you city boys lookin’at? This chicken ain’t gonna fuck itself!”
Seriously? This guy’s name is Two-dick? Fuckin’ eh!
Alan Tudyk and that guy from Reaper? I’m in.
I was completely unaware of a lot of backwoods out in the Jersey shore area in the 90’s there Vinny. Damn public school education.
Heeeey…these are just the tapes He and Bopa made of them fancy-nancy boys from Shy-caw-go which we done made wrestle the pig shit in!
…than just ripping off Shaun of the Dead.
So they just ripped off Deliverance instead?
What, the hillbillies weren’t the good guys?
Lince, you let some town folk close enough ta yer ’still, yer just creatin’ yer own problems.
*seething* Damn you, Al…
You hated on Zombieland but it turned out to be pretty good and everyone liked it, so you backpedaled. I’m just saying your piss stream is pretty suspect.
That one guy was in Harper’s Island.
/still can’t believe I was stupid enough to watch that shitstorm through to completion.
I see Vance has a new fan.
How did I backpedal? I wrote a review explaining exactly what I thought of it.
I protect my still with my Stihl.
essequemodeia-No way, The Mighty Feklahr might think Lince is a dipshit webmaster, but that guy sticks to his fucking guns. Only he was brave enough to call “Slumdog” out for the shitpile it was when everyone else was breaking their ribs to self-fellate during viewing.
Besides, we fucking hate on everything at Filmdrunk! Even shit we like! DEAL WITH IT! Lince would call Chuck Norris a commie to his face just to prove a point! Don’t believe Him? Well, HERE’S CHUCK NORRIS!
…

…dude…c’mon Lince…
The only reason that country folk are considered murderous nutjobs is because it’s so goddamn expensive to make movies about outer space.
In Nebraska, nobody can hear you scream.
According to movies, country folk go to the big city to learn from minorities and city folk go to the country to fuck and die.
It’s the circle of life.
I wanted to go to the country to fuck, but my brother couldn’t get the time off work.
I am absolutely 100% serious when I say I would fight Chuck Norris.
I usually can’t stand Three’s Company style screwball comedies, but if it includes a bunch of teenagers getting eviscerated I can make an exception.
I just hope the trailer didn’t give away all of the jokes, I think a big part of the fun will be figuring out how they will all die*.
* I laughed my ass off at the last Final Destination trailer for this exact same reason.
He Who Walks Behind The Rows tells me you better chug that boilermaker, pussy.
Yeah, it’s a film you said you can’t really care about. And the meh-ovie, it looks Zomboring. “Zombieland is a film with a concept so boring I can barely bring myself to write about it.”
And it turned out to be pretty funny. I know everyone here hates on things all clever and witty like, but there’s still room to squeeze in the odd fact now and again. You hated on this movie until you watched it and I think watching a movie is pretty crucial for writing about it. Evaluating a movie solely by watching the trailer… meh.
Yes, I gave you my opinion of the trailer when I posted the trailer, and then my opinion of the movie when the movie actually came out. Giving my opinion on things is kind of what I do.
Why the hell would they want to rip off Shaun of the Dead? They were making a flick with actual comedy in it.
yeah, now throw a pillow at him
