Discussed this film a while back when it was on Vudu.com.  Now it's 
available same day as DVD/BD release streaming on Netflix.  I may watch 
it again:

 now before theatrical release VOD on YouTube, Vudu and I suspect Comcast
 too.

 Last night I watched a 1975 film called God Told Me To.  Now off the
 top of your head without looking it up what is the TM connection to this
 film?  Not a bad film for the time, sort of NY indie with a good cast.
 Watched it on DVD from Netflix.  Sadly whoever has the rights didn't
 release it in widescreen but full frame instead.  The theatrical
 showings may have been matted as the full frame didn't look PS.

A further note is that Vudu has the making of Red State available as a 
free rental.  Though I noted from the credits that it was shot with Red 
cameras, I also noticed some footage that looked like it was shot with a 
Digital SLR camera and indeed Smith confirmed it in the making of.  
Smith goes into detail about making movies without studios and 
distributing it yourself.  Well maybe with a little help from Lionsgate 
which Smith once declared on a DVD commentary where your movie winds up 
when nobody else wants it.

Looks like the movie to see this spring.  It caused some commotion at 
Sundance and no this isn't a Silent Bob type comedy as Smith ventures 
into the world of horror.
