IGN: Beyond its central conceit, the film doesn't have a lot of variations and there are definitely some moments in Tucker & Dale that lose steam. With the exception of the sweet portrayal of Allison, the group of college kids is not a very notable and interesting lot, beyond the one Total Douchebag dude who's the most gung-ho about going hillbilly hunting. And the film ends with a plot twist/reveal that seems pretty unnecessary.
Still, while it's not quite a home run, there's a lot to enjoy about Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. It's got its heart in the right place, and hey, it's just nice to root for the hillbillies for once in this scenario.
Over the years, Canadian film and television have gotten a reputation for being something that leaves a lot to be desired.
Ever since the slasher film became a substantial sub-genre of horror, unlucky soon-to-be-victims have found themselves in isolated surroundings (led by the ominous Camp Crystal Lake in Friday the 13th) without communication or transportation and stalked by an unstoppable force of evil. Director Drew Goddard and writer Joss Whedon add to the collection with the more-than-aptly titled The Cabin in the Woods (there is certainly no mistaking what these two have planned).
