SYNOPSIS/PLOT

A horror film in which a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America. Red State begins by following three horny high-school boys who come across an online ad from an older woman looking for a gang bang. Boys being boys, they hit the road to satisfy their libidinal urges. But what begins as a fantasy takes a dark turn as they come face-to-face with a terrifying "holy" force with a fatal agenda.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"This is one of those movies that's "interesting" rather than "good". Smith has so much solid material to deliver that it's a shame the package is so sloppily wrapped. (...) Rating: *** (out of five)" (Kim Newman: Empire)

----------------------------------------
"This is the work of a natural-born filmmaker pushing himself toward entirely new territory — and discovering he’s pretty damned good at it. (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Rene Rodriguez: Miami Herald)

----------------------------------------
"Is like a dull blade slashing wildly, predictably and ineffectually at its target. (...) this sloppily constructed horror-thriller lacks the satirical bite" (Justin Chang: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"For all its boisterous profanity and splattery violence, the film is more of a weary sigh than a sputtering volley of indignation. (...) swerving between horror and satire without being quite sharp or scary enough." (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)
