It was OK. A bit too much of its head stuck up its rear end for me

Watching starship troopers right now. Killer bugs, boobs, political commentary. Great family movie

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil was a far superior horror and comedy combination movie IMO.

It is because it had the same meta commentary on the horror tropes with out CitW's shtick of "ISN'T OUR META COMMENTARY SO drat CLEVER?!?!?!"

Tucker and Dale owned because it was a great parody of horror movies but never fell into the "I'm a genius who write quirky original characters" trap like Whendon movies.

Yeah but it's because the stoner lived - and broke American horror convention - that the Old Ones rose up at the end and destroyed the world. That's the joke.

The joke is that people think this was some scathing commentary instead of a mediocre movie that holds your hand through out the entire film because it thinks it's audience is too stupid to understand the genius of it's creators

It's a bad movie since the foundation of the premise is actually good horror movies.

Here's a 101 cool monsters from movies which are better than the cerebral quirk-a-thon you are watching now.

I wouldn't call it a bad movie but it's clearly not the genre-breaking masterpiece that people think it is

I've only seen the remake of the thing should I watch the original ASAP

Don't bother. The orginal is a boring snooze fest of a film with little to no pay off. The Remake is better by a million times.
