Red State follows three horny friends who turn to the Internet to find a woman willing to fulfill their teenage urges.
They think they have hit the jackpot when they find Sara (Melissa Leo) - an older lady who wants to have a foursome, however what should have been the greatest night of their life turns in to a nightmare when the boys are drugged and taken into captivity by the infamous Five Point Church - a local religious cult who operate their own brand of bloodyatonement.
The boys wake, bound and half-naked deep in bowels of the church and immediately witness the brutal execution of another ‘sinner.’ Knowing they are next in line, the boys beg for their lives, but Pastor Abin Cooper (Michael Parks) and his cruel and warped congregation have other plans and embark on their reign of terror.
Trapped and terrified the boys’ only chance of survival is to fight their captors, but the evil evangelists are ready to send them straight to hell. Unbeknown to the boys, the apocalypse looms even closer as Federal Agent Joseph (John Goodman) and his trigger-happy team is right outside, poised and ready to blow the church off the face of the planet.
