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"

But he *IS* making a horror film..... "RED State" its no co-incidence that RED is specifically in the title. RED = BLOOD. Duh.

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.

Oooh, sounds pretty awesome. Love the double meaning in the title. Let's hope it lives up to being a horror movie, and not just a docu-drama.

He could just as easily called it a 'terrorist film'.

A BBC documentary was recently made by Louis Thereoux about these weirdos quite good

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!
