RAVE - Red State

A genuinely original storyline: 3 teenage boys lured to a trailer by the offer of sex with an older woman are drugged, then dragged to a local Fundamentalist church led by a crackpot Pastor wanting to punish "wrongdoers" on behalf of God.

Things quickly get out of hand, and this develops into a great horror flick.

James Parks as the crackpot Pastor, and John Goodman as the ATF commander play outstanding characters as church and state battle it out at their most unhinged.

There are some fabulous twists and turns in the story, which is told at a perfect pace throughout.

A really scary movie, and even more so when you realize rural America is riddled with these nutcases.
