Here's an idea! How about a Hillbilly horror movie told from the other perspective? That's what we're getting in this Canadian horror comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil that was selected to show at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Through completely wacked out scenarios, Tucker and Dale (two hillbillies from West Virginia), are mistaken as crazed killer mountain men when a group of college kids invade their scenic hideaway.

Sundance synopsis: “The hillbillies from the store captured Alison!” Tucker and Dale, two hillbillies heading to their “fixer-upper” cabin for some relaxin’, discover they ain’t alone in them woods. They encounter an SUV full of vacationing college kids, and Dale unintentionally creeps them out. But later, as he and Tucker are fishing, Dale rescues one of them—the pretty blond Alison—after she falls into the lake. Assuming she’s been captured, the indomitably preppy college kids rally to find her. A comically macabre battle between Izods and overalls, Eli Craig’s ingenious send-up of the horror genre recounts a simple misunderstanding gone grotesquely wrong. Our hillbilly psycho killers are actually sweet as pie; it’s the judgmental college kids who have “issues.” Craig lovingly embraces clichés, dispensing humor and gore in equal parts as we watch the educated class blunder to its demise. Nature, beer, and a rising body count—what better way to spend Memorial Day?
