October Horror Challenge - Red State (2011)

Day 29's prompt was "Man Is The Real Monster." Last year I picked a movie about Nazis. This year I'm going to with Fundamentalist crazy conservatives. Honestly considering it's an election year and Trump is running, either group seems like an appropriate choice for the prompt.


Plot
Three horny teenagers fall for a sex trap set by a Westboro Baptist Church-like and find themselves in a fight for their life.

Review
This Kevin Smith movie isn't his normal flick. It's a thriller and I'm just going to be honest, it's very upsetting. It's not a bad movie. It's a frustrating movie.

 Michael Park plays an absolutely evil bastard of a fundamentalist cult leader. Honestly all of the actors do a great job. You might think because of the religious crazy antagonists that they are the only bad guys. There aren't really good guys in this one. There are domestic terrorist bad guys, government bad guys, and victims. I think that stops it from being a preachy movie, but still makes it very upsetting. Honestly going to stop talking about this one because I'm going to get angry. 

Your Game 
Five Pointers are religious zealots and domestic terrorists. I think they are fitting 5e mooks for a modern game.
