Clown in a Cornfield

"There’s nothing wrong with using a teen horror movie to comment on the generation gap..."

"The whole idea represents a spurt of fresh blood when it should be a gushing geyser."

"Doesn't reinvent the wheel of the slasher genre by elevating it as Scream did, but it doesn’t have to in order to be a fun time."

"Fun while it lasts, though forgettable once you’re home."

"Eli Craig’s film works precisely because it plays things straight."

"… a fast-paced, amiable slasher flick with a handful of big laughs."

"Much more interesting when it was just allowed to be chaotic instead of when it was explaining the chaos."

"In its trivial way exudes a dyspeptic downer vibe, the result of everyone in it being so testy and unpleasant."

"Tucker and Dale vs. Evil director Eli Craig tackles the mostly faithful adaptation with aplomb, bringing the right balance of gore and comedy for a zippy, lean slasher."
