What they share
Theysit in Action / Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Red State, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Poker Night is
Basement summer. A buzzing bulb. A detective’s badge gone cold. A new cop wakes strapped to a chair across a table from a grinning killer. A deck of cards, a knife, one exit. Francis folds a slow-motion Hitchcock into cramped close-ups—game theory as last stand.
