StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Smoreni Zmaj I'm huge fan of Kevin Smith and, although this movie is completely different from what we are used to expect from him, I enjoyed and liked it very much. However, I must admit that this is the worst (or least good) of his films. I couldn't say which genre it is. IMDb says crime/action/horror. Okay, crime it is, but it's not a typical crime flick in which the main hero or antihero cop is solving a case. There's some action too, but I think it's too exaggerated to call this film an action flick. There's no H of horror. It is not a thriller because there is no mystery that is resolved, nor is there any special twists, surprises or excitements, and characterization is too shallow for a drama. Essentially, the film has elements of all these genres, but not enough of any one of them to be genre-determined. It begins with horror cliche. Three boys schedule sex with an unknown woman via a mobile application and end up as hostages of religious fanatics. But here, every similarity with the horror ends and the anti-terrorist unit enters the story. I think the film is made as a criticism of both religious fanaticism and the way the US government is dealing with crisis situations. Acting is great, especially veterans Betty Aberlin and John Goodman. Camera, directing and sound are interesting, but far away from masterpiece. Must watch for true fans of Kevin Smith, and if you're not one do as you're pleased. If you watch this movie you won't regret it, but if you skip it you won't miss much.7/10

himynameisbjl I don't understand why this movie doesn't have a higher ranking. I saw this movie without even knowing it was written and directed by Kevin Smith. When mentioning to one of my friends that i had seen probably the best horror movie since "Silence of The Lambs", they had informed me that it was Kevin Smiths attempt at a horror flick. Seriously though, the preacher plays one of the most believable characters I have ever seen in a movie, let alone a horror-ish movie. I am a tough critic with movies in general and this is definitely in my top 10.ITS AN ORIGINAL MOVIE FOR CHRISTS SAKE! Every year recycled dumb plots hit movie theaters, and the horror genre is the absolute worst. "Split 2017" has a higher rating than this movie, seriously wtf? It's laughable.Overall.... Plot: A+ Acting: B+ - A (Preacher is one of the best ever.) Cinematography: A (its a very unique style) If you haven't seen this yet and you are somehow reading this review. Just watch the movie.

lproelite I am disgusted at all the positive reviews. This movies is ridiculous and out right trash. I wasted an hour of my life watching it and now wasting my time to write a review about. The only people who would write a positive review on this would have to be as inbred as the ones portrayed on the film. The ATF goes in and starts shooting everyone? Are you kidding me? DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM. YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DO. And now I am forced to write at least 10 lines for me to be able to submit a review. This is a trash film, do not watch it. This is a trash film, do not watch it. This is a trash film, do not watch it. This is a trash film, do not watch it. This is a trash film, do not watch it. ONLY THE INBREDS WILL GIVE IT A POSITIVE REVIEW.

cammymadden *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. 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. 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. 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. You begin to wonder how far a brainwashed group such as this would go in the name of religion. 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. 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). 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.
