Director: Eli Craig
Brief Plot Outline: Two hillbillys go to
their vacation cabin in the middle of the woods at the same time that teenagers
are camping there. Due to a series of hilarious misunderstandings, the
teenagers think Tucker and Dale are serial killers and keep killing themselves
while trying to rescue their friend
Which two scenes impressed you the most,
why?
The scenes where Tucker is throwing wood
into a woodchipper and the teenager goes to jump at him but lands in the wood
chipper instead, impressed me due to the gore effect. I liked the red squirting
out and I thought that the prop half a body looked impressive. I also liked the
scene where Dale first tries to talk to the teenagers due to it being a parody
of a typical horror scene with a killer talking to the victims
How has watching this film helped you
understand the genre of filmmaking?
This film has helped me understand how to
make a successful horror comedy. It manages to be funny while still sticking to
some regular horror conventions that are both played straight and subverted. If
I were to put some comedic elements in my trailer, then this film would help me
with that
Which aspects of the film would you like
to include in your own trailer?
I like some of the gore effects that are
used in the film. Due to my trailer being a gory horror film I could learn a
lot from watching this and apply the techniques used in this film into my own.
What aspects of the film would you like to
avoid in your own trailer?
I would tone down the comedy slightly for
my trailer and focus on the horror nd gore
How does the film show influence of its
auteur?
The director has not made many over films
and so can not really be described as an auteur
