If you like horror movies, then you've seen the one with the college kids that go for a weekend in the woods, only to encounter evil hillbillies who terrorize and slaughter them. But what if the whole thing was a big misunderstanding? What if the hillbillies are actually loveable, bumbling buddies just trying to get away?

That's the question posed by Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, a horror film that's more silliness than slaughter. The film opens on said typical group of college kids headed to the woods for the weekend. We're quickly drawn to tall, dark and handsome Chad, the obvious leader of the group, who clearly has his eyes on blonde beauty Allison (Katrina Bowden). They're passed on the road by a couple of scary-looking hillbillies in a beat-up old truck. They encounter these same two when they stop for gas and beer.

From that moment on, every encounter between the college kids and the two hillbillies - whom we learn are named Tucker and Dale - is a hilarious and barely plausible misadventure. It turns out that Tucker and Dale are actually normal everyday guys who've just purchased a vacation home. Just like the college kids, they're on their way out of town for the weekend, just to have a good time. Every interaction increases the kids' suspicion of the duo, unbeknownst to Tucker and Dale.

From the college kids' perspective, it's easy to see how Tucker and Dale come off as maniacal and threatening. But there's much more to the story...
