Starring Melissa Leo, Michael Parks, John Goodman, Michael Angarano, Kerry Bishe and Nicholas Braun, story finds Parks heading up a Christian cult that lures horny youngsters to their place of worship on the promise of sex with an older woman. Kevin Smith breaks away from his comedic roots to direct and write this religious/political/bigot baiter that lurches from Hostel type madness into a siege of the damned. That being said, if you're in the mood for a rather crazy and violent film about a groups of religious nutjobs and some sex-craved teenagers then this is the film for you. God was actually reaching down and beginning the crazy stuff from the book of revelations (I'm not religious at all so my longing to see a film end like this is entirely based on entertainment value). The ending (which I'll try not to go into too much detail about) was bittersweet: while it ends in a rather comical fashion, I couldn't help but wish that there had been a huge twist at the end i.e. You begin to wonder how far a brainwashed group such as this would go in the name of religion. Despite referencing the Westboro Baptist Church as being "less-violent", it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to notice the similarities between their family and the one featured in Red State. I feel like with Red State, you have to begin watching it in a certain frame of mind, knowing that the plot will be rather straightforward but also frighteningly possible. I had been a bit reluctant to watch this film initially because it seemed like it would be hugely predictable and overall rather boring but after watching several somewhat random films, I found myself watching it and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. *Warning: Minor Spoiler Ahead" I gave this film an 8 although I do feel it deserved a 7.5 but I decided to round up. Title (Brazil): "Seita Mortal" ("Mortal Sect")

The indulgent Kevin Smith made a twist in his career in Hollywood and "Red State" had potential to be a great movie but unfortunately it becomes an incoherent and inconsistent mess in the end with Keenan sparing the life of Abin Cooper after killing Jarod and the girl Cheyenne. Will the teenagers be saved by the agents of the law enforcement agency? "Red State" is a film by Kevin Smith with a promising beginning, but also a very disappointing conclusion. Meanwhile the church is under siege of ATF agents led by Agent Joseph Keenan (John Goodman) that have been ordered to destroy the terrorist cell. When the three friends wake-up, they find that they are trapped in the fundamentalist Five Points Trinity Church of the infamous Pastor Abin Cooper (Michael Parks) and that they will be killed.
When they meet the woman, she gives spiked beer to them and they faint. While driving to meet the woman, Travis hit a car parked on the road. The teenager Jarod (Kyle Gallner) invites his best friends Travis (Michael Angarano) and Billy-Ray (Nicholas Braun) to have a foursome with a thirty-eight year-old woman.
