Preview: Red State (2011)

Synopsis:

In a small town, a religious zealot captures three young men who are contemplating sex before marriage.

• Poster: C

Review:

The poster looks almost as if the artist was trying too hard. There's a solid attempt at atmosphere but the purposeful aging done to the design makes it look somewhat cheap.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

I must admit that the idea of Kevin Smith doing a horror film does seem appealing. That it's a veiled indictment against the Westboro Baptist Church is an added impetus. However, the look of the film is a bit disconcerting and this is fresh territory for Smith, so I'm not sure how he'll handle it.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
