TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL gets picked up for US Distribution

You may remember when Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil played at Sundance and SXSW in 2010.  A Workprint leaked out onto the web and then it showed at HorrorHound this past March, where our own Chris Sandrin reviewed it.  Some of you may have forgotten about it, but I sure haven’t.  Luckily for those that are still waiting, the film has been picked up by a Stateside distributor.  Find out who after the break.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil stars Alan Tudyk & Tyler Labine, a couple of vacationing friends mistaken for hillbilly killers.

Director Eli Craig co-wrote the script with Morgan Jurgenson. Producing team includes Deepak Nayar and exec producer Thomas Augsberger.

Magnet Releasing, the genre label for Magnolia Pictures, has picked up the film for an August 26th VOD date while the theatrical date should be September 30th.
