PARK CITY, Utah, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Director Kevin Smith says he will screen his first-ever horror film at Utah's Sundance Film Festival in January.

"Red State," Smith's departure from comedy and satire, stars Michael Parks, John Goodman and Melissa Leo as people who run afoul of religious zealots in the Midwest, the New York Daily News reported.

Adding to the aura of Smith as provocateur, the movie references the Ku Klux Klan in its one-sheet, which shows a figure covered in a white sheet standing in front of a cross under the tagline: "FEAR GOD," the News said Thursday.

Smith's movie will play in the Premieres section known for potentially high-profile films rather than in the genre-based Park City at Midnight program.
