O tomto filmu

In Middle America, three horny teenagers travel to Cooper's Dell after responding to an older woman's online invitation for sex. However, their schoolboy fantasy turns sinister as Christian extremists, led by the twisted preacher Abin Cooper (Michael Parks), hold them captive in a compound known as the Five Points Church. As the Pastor and his congregation embark on a reign of terror forcing the boys to witness executions before being prepared for their own death, they have to contend with the arrival of Federal Agent Joseph Keenan (John Goodman) and his team who are armed, dangerous and ready to bring them all down. Stylish, compelling and visually exhilarating, RED STATE is unlike anything Kevin Smith has ever made before.

I'm a big Kevin Smith fan and was looking forward to seeing him try something a bit different. To say it was unsuccessful would be an enormous understatement. This film is completely lacking in any sort of direction and doesn't really bother establishing characters worth caring about at all. Completely without merit.

I recommend this movie highly, not a scary film as such but Kevin has an ability to freak you out. Definitely worth a watch, grab a few beers and some crisps and a few buddies and enjoy!

This is a well made low budget film that Smith should have made earlier in his career. The only thing I would criticise is that it should be a touch longer. An extra scene at the start as an attention grabber. Good flick.
