Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

While on vacation, two hillbillies run afoul of a group of college kids.

Set in West Virginia (but shot in Alberta), this enjoyably silly sendup of hillbilly horror flips the scripts of “The Hills Have Eyes” and “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre”: Here, the redneck good ol’ boys are the victims of the usual batch of young, sexed-up urban thrillseekers. Played with tongues in cheek by Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine, poor Tucker and Dale only want to spruce up their dilapidated shack, but when a frat boy’s crush goes missing, they’re instantly blamed — and forced to take cover. Blood and belly laughs abound in director Eli Craig’s cleverly lowbrow farce. (Canada, 86 min.) Rob Nelson. 3 out of 4 stars
