KABOOM

TICKETS for KABOOM at 518 Val Sat Feb 3, 930p HERE

Director Gregg Araki – 2011 USA 86 min – IndieFest 2011 program note:

Kaboom is a wild and sex-drenched horror-comedy thriller that tells the story of Smith (Thomas Dekker), and ambisexual 18-year-old college freshman who stumbles upon a monstrous conspiracy in a seemingly idyllic Southern California seaside town. Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin, Doom Generation) continues where he left off in the hysterically funny Smiley Face with the equally delightful Kaboom, a sort of Clueless-on-acid where late period John Waters meets Bret Easton Ellis. – Kier-la Janisse, SF IndieFest
