CB: What’s so scary about a stereotypical hillbilly? Is it the penchant for wearing flannel? The ridiculous teeth? The cousin-lovin’? The banjos? None of it seems terrifying on paper, but an entire horror subgenre and classic films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Deliverance have been formed around these ridiculous characters. But what if the yokels aren’t the violent animals that they seem to be, but rather misunderstood simple folk that get caught up in a series of horrific coincidences? Enter writer/director Eli Craig’s Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.
Over the years, Canadian film and television have gotten a reputation for being something that leaves a lot to be desired.
Ever since the slasher film became a substantial sub-genre of horror, unlucky soon-to-be-victims have found themselves in isolated surroundings (led by the ominous Camp Crystal Lake in Friday the 13th) without communication or transportation and stalked by an unstoppable force of evil. Director Drew Goddard and writer Joss Whedon add to the collection with the more-than-aptly titled The Cabin in the Woods (there is certainly no mistaking what these two have planned).
