The seventh poster from
Kevin Smith‘s first horror film
Red State has arrived. The poster shows
James Parks as “Mordechai”, one of the crazy clan members.
Here’s Sundance’s Red State synopsis: “Ever since Clerks (cowinner of the Filmmakers Trophy at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival), Kevin Smith has been known for his sharp, subversive, comedic writing. He shifts from comedy to horror with
Red State and aptly demonstrates that good writing transcends genre.
Red State begins by following three horny high-school boys who come across an online ad from an older woman looking for a gang bang. Boys being boys, they hit the road to satisfy their libidinal urges. But what begins as a fantasy takes a dark turn as they come face-to-face with a terrifying “holy” force with a fatal agenda.
Instead of relying on archetypes and predictable formulas, Smith meticulously fashions all-too-real characters, utilizing exceptional performances (notably by Michael Parks) and an intelligent script. His realistic style gives the film an intimate feeling, heightening the terror to biblical proportions.
Red State is a shocking new kind of horror film that aggressively confronts higher powers and extreme doctrines with a vengeance.”
The flick stars
John Goodman, Kyle Gallner, Melissa Leo, Dermot Mulroney, Michael Angarano, Steven Root, and
Michael Parks.
Red State comes to theaters in 2011.
