Writer/director [[Kevin Smith]]'s first foray into [[Horror]]. After the disappointment of his last big studio film ''[[Cop Out]]'', Smith decided to finally shoot the script he had written years ago during the shooting of ''[[Zack and Miri Make A Porno]]'' for the smallest budget he's had since ''[[Chasing Amy]]''. Stars [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy|a few familiar faces]] and features a few more heavy weight issues than Smith's previous work.
 
The film starts with three teens attempting to procure sex from a woman who lives in the outskirts of their southern town. Things don't result in quite that much sex however, as the boys end up being kidnapped by the local extreme fundamentalist Christian Five Points Trinity Church, situated in nearby Cooper's Dell. From there, it's all bloodshed, artillery and some transitions between the characters it focuses on.
Line 50:
* [[Religion of Evil]]: The Five Points Trinity Church.
* [[Religious Horror]] - The Five Points church members are partly inspired by Fred Phelps and his flock, though they go him one better and {{spoiler|lure "sinners" over the internet and kill them}}.
* [[Ripped Fromfrom the Headlines]] - Abin Cooper is sort of a mix of Fred Phelps and David Koresh; the climax explicitly recalls the Waco siege at the Branch Davidian compound.
* [[Sinister Minister]] - Abin Cooper, who also has a [[Beard of Evil]].
* [[Suicide By Cop]]: The Five Points Trinity Church seems pretty damned determined to pull this off once their cover as a "peaceful, but angry and protestant church" is blown and most of them are pretty successful.
