Kevin Smith’s RED STATE Trailer Looks Different (From Other Smith Movies)

The reaction to the trailer for Red State, Kevin Smith’s foray into horror, has been positive on the Twitter. Everybody is congratulating Smith for a trailer that looks very different from his own work. Which is true - this looks nothing like a “Kevin Smith” movie. It does, however, look exactly like a low budget indie horror film I might have seen at Screamfest or Fantastic Fest four or five years ago.

What do you think? After Cop Out are we just happy he’s got a camera that moves (albeit one that moves shakily in the ‘we couldn’t even afford a tripod’ aesthetic)? Is the glut of low budget indie semi-torture porn horror only a problem for jokers like me, who insist on watching them at film festivals all the time? Are you excited about Red State?
