I was in the mood for a juicy horror film and discovered this comic gem from 2011. It stars Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine as 2 good ole boys on the first visit to their ratty new vacation home. A group of stereotypical college kids also ends up in the same woods and due to some confusion, they assume the duo are crazed killers. Every murder is an accident, even though they confirm the students’ paranoia. The duo grapples with their bewildering situation with plenty of humorous reactions and even some engaging moments. Because the violence is quickly dispatched, it’s never too gory, which allows for even more comedy. The buddies are sweetly charming and the writing boasts enough clever asides to make it one of the most genuinely funny “horror” films to come along since the Evil Dead series.
