Review of Red State (2011) by Kevin K — 08 Jan 2012

This was definitely not a movie for everyone, but I really enjoyed this short âhorrorâ? story from Kevin Smith. I expect a lot of viewers were disappointed with this film because it doesnâ(TM)t fit into the usually categories.

Thereâ(TM)s not enough violence or fear to be called a âhorrorâ? movie, and itâ(TM)s definitely not your average Kevin Smith movie. He completely breaks out of his usual mold and instead tells a short story filled with satire and irony about people who believe what they are doing is âright.

â? A quote near the end sums it up nicely âPeople just do the strangest things when they believe they're entitled. But they do even stranger things when they just plain believe.â? Watching this with an awareness of the hypocrisy in religion and a touch of bible knowledge will greatly enhance your appreciation of this movie.
