This movie is completely mind fucking and seriously doesn't make any sense. Witch whose eyes turn red and can be defeated by water? WHAT? However it's extremely entertaining and one just can't stop watching it. When you get to the end you won't even be surprised anymore, because you will seriously be expecting anything and everything.
Compared to most Araki films, Kaboom is a pretty lightweight, but entertaining film. I have really become a Thomas Deller and Chris Zylka fan. They gave great performances.

The film is a wild, sex-drenched, comical thriller that tells the story of Smith, an ambisexual 18-year-old college freshman who stumbles upon a monstrous conspiracy in a seemingly idyllic Southern California seaside town. KABOOM will make its US premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival and is writer/director Araki's eighth film there since his breakthrough The Living End, including The Doom Generation to his masterpiece Mysterious Skin. The film stars Thomas Dekker, Juno Temple, Haley Bennett, Chris Zylka, Roxane Mesquida, Andy Fischer-Price, James Duval and Kelly Lynch.... (more)(less)

Smith's everyday life in the dorm - hanging out with his arty, sarcastic best friend Stella, hooking up with a beautiful free spirit named London, lusting for his gorgeous but dim surfer roommate Thor - all gets turned upside-down after one fateful, terrifying night.
Gregg Araki is at it again with this coming of age story. Thomas Dekker, Juno Temple, Chris Zylka and James Duval are pretty well known for me. I am not sure what the hell I just watched, but it definitely had me interested. Some "

So weird, so fucked up.... to the point that I couldn't but love it. Random people in animal masks, drugs, sex, aliens, creative costumes, secret cults.... Yes, please!"

Tiny Mix Tapes
A supernatural sex comedy, is perhaps the best way to describe the film. I find that the more Gregg Araki films I watch the more I fall in love with him. He has an ability to blend movie cliches into a unique form. If you watched The Rules of Attraction (2002) and felt like gagging at the end... well Araki finally filmed the cure.
While there is plenty of sex in the film. Don't rent this if your looking for a soft-core sex comedy that seems to littler the dvd"
