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.

OMG! This s*** is legit son! So fantastic. Who knew... all gore and chaos is so perfectly fitting and all aspects of movie genre like romance, situational comedy, thriller, horror etc are such masterfully crafted and put together in one box... and nothing seems random. Very seldom I see movies evoking so many emotions out of you so quick. The settings change in a second! You honestly need time to breathe sometimes. I feel like I have been on that very satisfying roller coaster ride and specially the one that you didn't expect to be that good. Tyler Labine Alan Tudyk EliCraig hats off 👌 I'd honestly want to hug y'all right now and congratulate. Tuckeranddalevsevil is pure gold in the horrorcomedy genre ✨️ Reminds me of movies like bodiesbodiesbodies readyornot Until later, - #desiboytx

This movie has one of the best excecutions. It plays on the cliche of a bad thing framing an innocent person. The comedy is gold.

A slasher camp comedy, filled with over-the-top, stupid humor; I don’t know how it took me a decade to see it. Great laughs, okay casting.

Enough content here for an SNL skit, but the not particularly clever or funny single note premise wears out its welcome pretty quickly.
