Comedy legend Kevin Smith made a famous pivot to horror with RED STATE (2011), loosely inspired by the fear mongering whackos from the notorious Westboro Baptist Church.

John Goodman stars as Cooper, a radical church leader who sets up and violently apprehends the sinners he deems immoral. When three boys are lured to their location under the false prospect of sex, they’re drugged, caged and preached to by Cooper in hopes of repentance. Their attempts to escape set off a violent struggle of survival, going head to head with their gun-toting captors.
