TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL is a hilariously gory, good-spirited horror comedy, doing for killer rednecks what Shaun of the Dead did for zombies. Tucker and Dale are two best friends on vacation at their dilapidated mountain house, who are mistaken for murderous backwoods hillbillies by a group of obnoxious, preppy college kids. When one of the students gets separated from her friends, the boys try to lend a hand, but as the misunderstanding grows, so does the body count. TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL has been a hit on the festival circuit, debuting at Sundance, and winning the Midnight Audience Award at SXSW, the Jury Prize for First Feature at Fantasia, the Best Director award at Fantaspoa, and the Best Motion Picture Award at Sitges.
Available now On Demand and opens Friday, September 30th.

TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL is directed by Eli Craig, from a screenplay, acknowledged as one of the industry’s best unproduced scripts, by Craig and Morgan Jurgenson. Craig and Jurgenson met while attending the USC School of Cinema, and co-wrote the script after graduation. Craig is the writer/director of the award winning short film “The Tao of Pong”. He is repped by CAA.
