#Red pill documentary movie
The Karen has become a much more prominent villain in horror tv and film in the last couple of years, with the Betty Wendell character in the Amazon show Them and even the very cringy movie Karen released earlier this year. Opposite the fun-loving moments of the progressives, we also witness a bunch of urine-drinking Karens who live their oblivious lives, assuming life will never change and always be in their favor. During dinner, the six friends connect over jokes and songs and the natural camaraderie between the cast makes you love their friendships and almost forgive the clumsy dialogue and performances. An odd sight indeed, but the members of the SUV focus more on settling into their Airbnb and adjusting the feng shui of the place. Each one dresses identical to the next with an all-black outfit and a mysterious red symbol across their chest. When arriving in town, the SUV passes several houses, all with a white woman standing stiffly in the front yard. The group works as canvassers for a progressive political party and plan on promoting their candidate in the hopes of recruiting more voters. In the vehicle, they talk politics and American history, and while the conversation touches on heated conversations, they all demonstrate respect for each other and remain civil. The beginning hints heavily at creepiness to come, but the first forty minutes or so revolves around establishing the bonds between the six main characters and their political beliefs. Weaving through the orange and red trees, we see a brightly colored SUV filled with a diverse group of adult friends. returns us to the sprawling woodlands of Virginia. The cold opening gives us a brief glimpse into the future before cinematographer John Hudak Jr. Several images synonymous with brutal racism flash across the screen as we see a weeping black man with a noose around his neck, and the painful branding of the pregnant woman. The outside perspective zooms into a cabin where a ritualistic performance sees a very pregnant black woman being held down by a group of faceless white women all dressed in red. A peaceful drone shot of a beautiful woodsy fall setting immediately becomes interrupted with painful screams. RED PILL goes extreme, and it goes extreme quickly. The Red Pill, not related to the Matrix or party drugs, refers to a person who infiltrates a rival group with the intention of damaging them and bringing them down from the inside.
Inspired by Jordan Peele’s Get Out, stage, film, and television star Tonya Pinkins decided to create her own version of the story and entitled her award-winning movie, RED PILL.
