How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral ambush film that trades jump scares for ideological horror, trapping you in a nightmare of religious extremism that escalates into chaos. The 88 minutes feel like a descent into something genuinely dangerous and unstable.

Reviews
Red State feels like the third episode in a four part miniseries. We miss the first two episodes where you introduce the characters: one for the church, one for the high schoolers and law enforcement. There's no fourth episode either to wrap it up.
I thought it was fine but without those missing parts, I didn't know any character's name. I don't care about any of them. The deaths are abrupt, and the ending is so sudden that I thought Tubi had glitched.
