Saw Tucker & Dale vs Evil last night. An amusing inversion of the "backwoods hillbilly serial killer" horror. Here, we have two harmless, innocent hillbillys who, via a series of escalating misunderstandings, are mistaken for the murderous cliche by a group of vacationing college kids. As the body count rises (courtesy of the kids managing to accidentally off themselves in ways that make the two look very guilty) Tucker & Dale are soon forced to fight for their lives against the remaining teens who have convinced themselves it's kill or be killed! This is an entertaining black comedy which peters out a little toward the end but has some hilarious moments.

On the whole, reaction = disappointment. 
It was a nice lightweight film, but with none of the real menace, tension, and drama of ''Water Lilies''. As with her first film Celine Sciamma did draw out excellent performances from her young actors. 
But the outcome was like flat lemonade 
Sweet, but not very satisfying. It was very slow to get off the ground 
and the plot was a little weak, there was very little backstory to the situation. That really is the most disappointing aspect, she's had four years to come up with another winner, but this one it ain't 
There was hardly any incidental music, unlike WL, although she used the same musical director, which gave the film very little fizz. One to see sometime, certainly, but not one to rush out and see.
