Tucker and Dale Vs Evil shows a horror movie in a funny way. It makes the death of innocent people rather funny, than sad. It not only makes fun of horror movies, but also hillbillies. This movie was both serious and funny at the same time. The movie line was not the best for a horror movie because it had more to it than that. This is would be a good movie to feature because it is exactly what you are looking for, a funny yet serious parody.
It shows the perspective of both sides. Generally the audience is only aware of one side. Knowing both sides of the story is what makes this movie good. By knowing that Tucker and Dale were only trying to help the kids rather than kill the kids, it made the movie interesting. When people think of college kids vs hillbillies they tend to lean more toward the college kids side because they are smart and more approachable. People expect hillbillies to be dumb and murderous. This movie shows a twist in expectations. The way this movie put the characters made them want to root for the hillbillies rather than the smart college kids.
One thing this movie does …show more content…
One of the more serious parts was toward the end when Tucker told Dale that he was smarter than he gave himself credit for. It showed a scene between two best friends that was serious and loving at the same time. One of the most serious times was when Dale threw the axe towards Allie just as she was about to be cut in half. It was hard to predict if it was going to hit Allie or rope. Since it was a horror movie you could predict it would Allie, but it didn’t. That is what set this movie out from being just like any other movie. The characters you want to live stay alive, unlike normal horror movies. This is why Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is such a big hit. It can be serious, scary and funny and still be classified as a horror movie
