A confident mix of comedy and horror, Tucker & Dale Vs Evil brings together Firefly star Alan Tudyk and Reapers Tyler Labine as a pair of hillbillies. More to the point, theyre a pair of hillbillies who have bought themselves a secluded cabin in the middle of the woods. Anyone whos seen even a handful of horror movies will have be more than familiar with the conventions that are being set up, and might just be settling back for a dose of the familiar. But they dont really get it. Instead, Tucker & Dale Vs Evil chooses to play up the comedy, thanks to writer-director Eli Craigs very good script. Its a screenplay that accepts and warms to the trappings of a horror movie, and then has a great deal of fun playing with them. Thus, when a bunch of students turn up in the middle of the woods, things dont quite go the way that many will be expecting. Its odd that Tucker & Dale Vs Evil never really secured itself the broader theatrical exposure it deserves, because its a really smart film. Granted, its bereft of outright movie stars, but the pairing of Tudyk and Labine proves inspired, and Craig is wise enough to keep his running time nice and tight. Dont let the relatively low budget of the production lead you to think youre not getting good value from a Blu-ray upgrade, mind. In terms of picture quality in particular, you get a really sharp transfer here, and the audio mix is no slouch either. Given that most people never got to enjoy the film in cinemas, it seems right to make the most of it in the home. Tucker & Dale Vs Evil is far from the most ambitious film of recent times. But its certainly one of the funniest. It throws in the necessary gore quotient expected by fans of the horror genre, but delivers far more solid laughs that its relative anonymity might lead you to expect. Its pretty much the epitome, then, of an undercover gem. --Jon Foster
