Synopsis
From cult writer/director Keving Smith (Clerks; Dogma)
comes his tenth film, the hotly anticipated Red
State, an utterly unique, intense and unexpectedly
hilarious thriller hell-bent on leaving audiences feeling
uncomfortable, tense, dazed and never knowing what's going to
happen next. And that's just the first 10 minutes!
In Middle America, three horny teenagers travel to isolated
Cooper's Dell after responding to an older woman's online
invitation for sex. However, their schoolboy fantasies turn
sinister as Christian extremists led by the twisted but charismatic
preacher Abin Cooper (Michael Parks) holds them captive in his
compound known as the Five Points Church. They hadn't quite
expected this kind of the devil's business! As the Pastor and his
congregation embark on a reign of unholy terror, they have to
contend with the arrival of Federal Agent Joseph Keenan (John
Goodman) and his team who are armed, dangerous and ready to do
anything to bring them down. But will they get to the preacher's
disciples before the Apocalypse?
