Kevin Smith Compares ‘Red State’ to ‘Race With the Devil’

Kevin Smith, who somehow found his own financing for Red State, talked with Film School Rejects about the plot of the thriller that’s said to begin shooting this coming July. “It’s very reminiscent of Race with the Devil,” Smith tells the site. “That’s such a favorite movie of mine. When I was a kid it was just such a terrifying notion. It’s where you’re on vacation and you just happen to see some mother fuckers sacrificing a virgin, they kill your dog, and the chase you in your winnebago. There’s nothing more horrifying than that! You can keep your fucking thirty-foot shark, that’s terrifying! It’s certainly not that, but it’s very much in that spirit of people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Instead of going with devil worship we’re going the other direction. It deals with intense religious worship. It’s religious fundamentalism.” Click the link below for more.
