Teme a Dios.
Las hormonas pueden ser muy traicioneras. Y si no, que se lo digan a los adolescentes que, atraídos por un anuncio que promete sexo en grupo con una mujer, caen en la trampa de un grupo de fanáticos religiosos dispuestos a erradicar con métodos extremos la libido de la juventud norteamericana. Historia inspirada en la figura real de Fred Phelps, el líder de un grupo religioso extremista que se hacía llamar la Iglesia Bautista Westboro.
"Red State," a 2011 film produced by SModcast Pictures and NVSH Productions in the United States, is a gripping thriller that delves into the dark underbelly of religious extremism. Directed by Kevin Smith, the movie follows a group of high school boys who, lured by the promise of a sexual encounter, find themselves ensnared by a radical fundamentalist sect led by the charismatic and terrifying Abin Cooper, played masterfully by Michael Parks. The film's narrative takes a sharp turn when the situation escalates, drawing the attention of the ATF, leading to a tense standoff that blurs the lines between right and wrong.

The film does not shy away from depicting the brutality and zealotry of its antagonists, creating a palpable sense of dread and urgency. The performances, particularly by Michael Parks and John Goodman, who plays the ATF agent tasked with resolving the crisis, are intense and compelling, adding depth to the film's provocative themes. Kevin Smith's direction in "Red State" marks a departure from his more comedic works, showcasing his versatility as a filmmaker.

The cinematography and sound design contribute significantly to the film's atmosphere, immersing the audience in the harrowing events unfolding on screen. "Red State" is a bold and thought-provoking film that challenges viewers to confront the realities of extremism and the complexities of justice.
