10 Underrated Horror Movies You Should Watch This Halloween
10. Tucker and Dale Vs Evil
Slasher films are often unbelievably played out. Clichés regularly fill this sub-genre of horror to the extent that all of them end up feeling the same. Individual outings such as Scream can counteract this, but overall the concept of a slasher flick is pretty paint by numbers. So when a film like this exists that utterly flips the idea on its head then you know it's something special.
Calling Tucker and Dale vs Evil a horror is a little far fetched as the film acts a little more like a humorous, satirical look at the prejudice of the genre. It follows our eponymous heroes as they try to enjoy their vacation in a cabin home that they have purchased. But when a group of teens end up stumbling into them a variety of unfortunate misunderstandings lead the youths to believe that Tucker and Dale are villainous killers like in a cliched slasher film.
The title is incredibly worth your time for many reasons, the main being the brilliant performances by Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk. These two have incredible chemistry, and Labine especially creates a character so loveable that it makes the whole scenario challenging to understand.
It is funny, gory and has some surprisingly compelling story elements within it.
