One of the Best Horror Comedies of the 2010s Is Now Streaming for Free
If you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel and unsure what to watch, we’ve got a cult classic suggestion that might just hit the spot. We’re talking about the horror comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, a film that’s both gruesome and hilarious. The film delivers excellent writing, strong performances, and an endless supply of carnage.
This farcical horror-comedy plays out as follows: Two scruffy pals (Labine and Tudyk) see their backwoods vacation take a bloody turn when ignorant college students mistake them for a pair of murderous hillbillies.
The flick premiered at Sundance in 2010 and also played SXSW the same year. The critical reviews were primarily positive, with film critics praising Tucker & Dale vs. Evil for its tendency to subvert expectations with comical results and for strong performances by the core characters.
Although the film played at several prestigious festivals and resonated with critics, it remains somewhat overlooked outside of the hardcore horror fan base. But believe us when we say that it’s worth seeking out.
Eli Craig directs this darkly comedic effort, taking a screenwriting credit alongside Morgan Jurgenson. Although Jurgenson hasn’t been especially active in the industry since Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, Craig has stayed more active, recently helming the celebrated slasher picture Clown in a Cornfield.
As we mentioned previously, the flick features great characters thanks to a talented cast. Speaking of the key players, Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, Katrina Bowden, Jesse Moss, Philip Granger, and Brandon Jay McLaren topline the project.
Both Labine and Tudyk have gone on to break out in the years since appearing in the film. Tudyk has found success with the sci-fi comedy Resident Alien, and Labine has scored some significant character roles across various series and movies in the years since. Their eventual success is no surprise, seeing as both demonstrate impressive acting chops and a penchant for comedy in Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.
Whether you’ve missed out on this one to date or you’re merely ready to experience the film once again, we’re pleased to reveal that you can presently find Tucker & Dale vs. Evil streaming free on Tubi.
So, there you have it; Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is now available to stream for free on Tubi. If you’re looking for a hilarious night in, this one will hit the spot.
