There is good news for hillbilly fans today, as Magnolia announces their latest upcoming release, Tucker & Dale vs Evil. This is an award winning horror comedy, with Tucker & Dale vs Evil having won Best Picture at the Stiges International Film Festival. Tucker & Dale vs Evil has also won the Best First Feature Film award at the Fantasia Film Festival in 2010. So, these mountain people obviously have some class! According to Deadline, this horror satire will be made available August 26th on video-on-demand, before moving to theatres September 30th. Get your moonshine and your cousins ready this summer, as Tucker and Dale unleash bloody havoc on a group of campers, unintentionally, of course! More wood chipper madness continues below.

The synopsis for Tucker & Dale vs Evil is here:

"Tucker and Dale are two best friends on vacation at their dilapidated Appalachian mountain cabin, who are mistaken for murderous backwoods hillbillies by a group of obnoxious, preppy college kids. When one of the students gets separated from her friends, the boys try to lend a hand, but as the misunderstanding grows, so does the body count" (Deadline).

Release Date: August 26th (Video-on-demand), September 30th (Limited Theatrical).

Director: Eli Craig.

Writers: Eli Craig, and Morgan Jurgenson.

Cast: Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, Chelan Simmons, Jesse Moss, Philip Granger, Christie Laing, Travis Nelson and Katrina Bowden.

*Tucker & Dale vs Evil was an official selection of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

**Magnolia Pictures continues to buck the trend by releasing films on vod, before theatres. This is considered a non-traditional release strategy, which has upset some directors.
