So I just watched (double feature)

Ok so this isn't just one movie like last time but two movies for one thread.

The first is Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

Watch. This. Film.

I cannot stress enough how much myself and the three other people I watched it with enjoyed this film, the two main characters are written wonderfully and well played with Tyler Labine (best known for playing 'Sock' in the TV series Reaper) as Dale and Alan Tudyk (best known for playing 'Wash' from Firefly).

It is a great horror comedy and ranks highly among the films I've watched recently.

I honestly don't want to say too much to spoil the film so seriously, rent it, buy it, whatever, just see this film.

Sadly this never got a UK theatrical release but then neither did the next film, though the next one had good reason not to.

Kevin Costner in The Other Daughter.

These two films could not be further apart, Tucker and Dale kept you entertained the entire film. This film however bored everyone for all but the last 20 minutes.

This is one film where it mistakes 'building tension' for 'taking ages for anything to happen', a common mistake in lower budget horror films. Now the last 20 minutes are actually really good but the film run time is an hour and 40 minutes, meaning almost an hour and a half of not much happening and Costner being soooo incredibly wooden its untrue. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he phoned it in and was just looking for a paycheck.

Building tension to a crescendo climax, when done well, really works but this was an example of it done badly.

Had we not been watching this film for review purposes, it'd been turned off at the 45 minute mark.

Just watched the trailer for Tucker and Dale...

It's on my must-watch list now. I hope that the trailer doesn't have all of the good bits.

Fearnet.com did some coverage of Tucker and Dale it looks super funny!

Wash and Sock together in a movie? Comedy gold.

So when you say horror what do you mean?

I'm not a horror movie person but I've seen some "horror" movies I guess...


Edit:

Never mind...Netflix doesn't have it on streaming so it doesn't matter

Seriously thinking of canceling Netflix again....
