After watching so many films of a genre, you’re bound to notice some patterns. In the horror genre, there are plenty of twists on the structure, like the self-aware “Scream” and the how-to guide “Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.” “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil” wants to join that group with its brilliant reversal on the hillbillies in horror films. In the tradition of films where college coeds go to the cabin in the woods to drink and skinny-dip, it’s always the hillbilly to be their first sign of evil. Their haunting nature of talking slowly and foreshadowing the danger to come usually means they are in on the threat. This time, Tucker and Dale are just two really nice guys.
