In other words: What’s a hidden gem I probably haven’t seen but totally should? And why is it a must-watch?

Yeah. Tucker and Dale vs Evil still gets way too little love.

It's a must watch because:

  • The twist is perfect.
  • Even after the reveal, it's just so dang fun and hilarious.
  • Horror movies with a deep respect for life are often the best horror movies. Tucker and Dale has that, even if in a stupid goofy way.

As a horror fan, I disagree.

The premise gets old fairly fast and then the twist doesn't really add anything or accentuate the spoofiness, just makes the film more generic.

If you're a fan of a certain era of teen slashers, sure go for it.

《Little Monsters》 and 《The Rise of Leslie Vernon 》are recent takes on horror films I personally prefer.

I know that downvotes are not disagree buttons but I was strongly tempted to downvote you because I disagree with you so vehemently.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil is a brilliant film. As someone who quickly tires of being exposed to repetitive information, this movie is easily a once a year re-watch for me.

I'm glad you like it, as I think Mr Tudyk is grand I like to see him in things.

It's just not for me, and seeing a film I felt to not live up anything close to the hype always praised I felt compelled in this case to show a dissenting opinion.

You do you and enjoy it annually.
