What's really going on
The chapter is built on a joke the audience is in on. Tucker and Dale see only possibility, and their delight is genuine: the place is dusty and full of junk, yet one of them says, "It's a mansion!" Their line about dreams coming true is played completely straight, which makes it both funny and a little sad. Then the film hands the same woods to the college kids, who are already telling stories about killers in the trees. The phrase "little did they know" is the hinge, because the kids think they are describing other people, when they are describing themselves. The whole film runs on this gap between what the two groups believe and what is actually happening, and this chapter sets it up in a single cut.
Theme
