50 Greatest Horror Movies Of The 21st Century

17. Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil

Get Out Daniel Kaluuya
Magnet Releasing

Plot: An appalling series of misunderstandings ensue between two well-meaning red-necks (Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk) and a group of students.

Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil first premiered in early 2010 and thus became the first great horror film of that decade.

This movie is ridiculously, unbelievably good. It's a gut-burstingly hilarious and wickedly inventive horror comedy with many fine performances and some of the funniest film death scenes you'll ever see but believe it or not, despite all the blood and guts, this is also an unexpectedly sweet movie with an absolutely huge heart.

It deserves to be ranked among the best horror comedies of all time and it's a real shame this is still such an under-seen movie, especially when overrated horror comedies such as the Zombieland films have received more attention. Basically, this is yet another underrated gem horror fans mustn't sleep on.
