Critics Consensus

Like the best horror/comedies, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil mines its central crazy joke for some incredible scares, laughs, and -- believe it or not -- heart.

3.5/4

This movie is certifiably insane, that's a given, but it's also extremely witty, has far more intelligence than you might originally expect and has a grand time exploding clichés and playing with an audience's expectations.

Here's something you don't see every day: a genial, politically correct splatter comedy.

4.0/5.0

Clever horror/comedy hybrid of the kind that Sam Raimi used to make and that so many have tried to produce in recent years but have fallen remarkably flat. There's nothing flat about this clever genre flick. For the right audience, it's pretty great.

A delightful buddy comedy that doesn’t skimp on blood when all the horror shenanigans take hold, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil remains an all-time cult movie worth pledging your soul to. Bursting with silly gags and gory kills, it remains a horror lover’s dream.

7/10

The dry wit and laugh out loud moments in this movie are a ton of fun and often the result of totally shocking and unexpected misunderstandings or accidents. The characters are completely wonderful and easy to fall in love with.

5/5

A simple, clever premise that fully pays off exactly how you'd hope it could, thanks to the charm and chemistry between the two leads.

Two of the greatest characters in horror movie history. I thought this was gonna be another zombie apocalypse movie but what we got was pure gold. The way they set this movie in motion was genius. I haven't laughed this hard watching a horror comedy in years. The kills were bloody good and the performances were terrific. Tim Treakle

Amazing and my personal favorite film, literally the ONLY complaint I have is that like 3 jokes in the final act didn't land for me, and that's just a me thing. Watch this film, it's peak, it's awesome, I love both Tucker AND Dale to death

One of the only films that I have ever seen that is perfect!!! This funny and humorous film is a great parody of slashers and has aged so well!! This is the classic horror film that horror fans like and the general fan loves!!! If you like horror, watch, enjoy and watch again, you'll love this one!!!
