Sundance ’10: College Kid’s Blood in New ‘Tucker & Dale vs Evil’ Clips!
In addition to our exclusive clip from Eli Craig’s Tucker & Dale vs Evil, beyond the break you’ll find a slew of new footage from the film that’s set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next weekend. Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (trailer) is a backwoods comedy of horrific errors in which two unsuspecting buddies, Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine), fall victim to the crazed machinations of a group of spring breakers who have mistaken them for backwoods killers. When Dale shelves his phobia of the opposite sex to rescue one of the college co-eds, Allison (Katrina Bowden), from drowning, all her friends mistake him for a bearded psychopath hauling their friend away to a shack in the middle of the woods. In trying to rescue their friend, the college co-eds continually off themselves one by one and Tucker and Dale try to figure out why these college kids are killing themselves all over Tucker’s property!

‘Riddle of Fire’ – Yellow Veil Pictures & Vinegar Syndrome Bring Festival Hit Home in April
Director Weston Razooli made waves at the Toronto International Film Festival last year with Riddle of Fire, which our own Joe Lipsett gave 4/5 stars in his review.
Joe wrote, “Riddle of Fire has all of the hallmarks of a classic ’80s children adventure film, mixed with the quaintness of a British fairytale.” His review continued, “In short: think Goonies meets Adventures in Babysitting with a touch of The Princess Bride‘s aesthetic.”
In this truly one-of-a-kind slice of visionary cinema, “Three mischievous children embark on a woodland odyssey when their mother sends them on an errand.”
When will you be able to see it? Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned that Yellow Veil Pictures & Vinegar Syndrome will bring Riddle of Fire to at-home VOD on April 12.
You can pre-order the movie via Apple TV now.
After premiering in the Directors’ Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival, the film went on to close the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival and screen at Fantastic Fest and Sitges. It was shot on 16mm, and it’s Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
Vinegar Syndrome will be releasing Riddle of Fire on Blu-ray, so stay tuned for more on that. The film also has its own retro-style video game, as well as a card game from Button Shy.
