LOS ANGELES (GaeaTimes.com) — Greg Araki is back with number ten. Yes this time it’s Kaboom. The movie is already high-flying with an IMDB rating over 7. This is more of a sci-fi flick centered around a group of college students. Kaboom made its premiere at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, and was awarded the first ever Queer Palm for its contribution to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues. The film is currently awaiting release.
Gregg Araki is known for his wild visions and apocalyptical scripts.
Kaboom is a wild and sex-drenched horror-comedy 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. Smith’s everyday life in the dorms hanging out with his arty, sarcastic best friend Stella. He hooks 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. Tripping on some hallucinogenic cookies he ate at a party, Smith is convinced he’s witnessed the gruesome murder of an enigmatic Red Haired Girl, who has been haunting his dreams.
Cast: Thomas Dekker, Kelly Lynch, Rooney Mara, Roxane Mesquida, James Duval.
