This dark despairing satire genre juggles as wildly as From Dusk to Dawn or Kill List: in very loose terms imagine an episode of The Inbetweeners where they end up trapped in Waco. Three horny adolescents living in the Bible Belt (the red states that traditionally vote Republican) go off on a road trip but end up in the grasp of ultra extreme fundamentalist preacher, Pastor Evans, a man so fire and brimstone even other right wing nutters want nothing to do with him. Beyond that you don’t need to know.)

However, this negative attitude towards traditional morality seems to be working in his favour - a recent survey commissioned to measure the morality of UK audiences (as a means of promoting Red State) has uncovered that a quarter of Brits believe there is no consequence to be suffered for living an immoral life.)
