If you head on over to Rotten Tomatoes you can read an exclusive interview with writer/director Kevin Smith, who reveales details and the title of his upcoming horror film! Entitled Red State, the film is "insipred by Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, a controversial church group made largely of members of the Phelps family and run by preacher Fred Phelps. [The Church] is infamous in America for taking a supremely homophobic stance and for picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq, the group see media interviews as a platform for airing their views and the word of their founder, Fred Phelps. very much about that subject matter, that point of view and that position taken to the absolute extreme." Smith states that RED's "very much about that subject matter, that point of view and that position taken to the absolute extreme." Click the link above for the full story.
soooo...this sounds more of a Micheal Moore-ish documentary than a horror film.
yes, the subject matter is horrific, but he shouldn't have told everyone he was making a "horror film"
or he could mean "red state" as in political as in republican/democrat red states and blue states. just cause there's red in the title it doesn't naturally mean it's a metaphor for blood.
Actually, he said it does, its both actually. He mentioned it on his website.

I agree with South_park300. I hear that Phelps is a registered Democrat, which would make the film "Blue State". Of course, this wouldn't be scary because blood is red in horror movies...I hope I'm wrong about this, but I think Kevin may be chickening out on the 'I want to make a horror movie' bit!
