Review of The Doom Generation (1995) by John W — 18 Jul 2004
Starring: James Duval, Rose McGowan, and Jonathon Schaech.
Written and Directed by Gregg Araki.
No MPAA rating (contains strong vicious violence, graphic sexuality, pervasive strong language and some drug use).
Running time approximately 1 hour 25 minutes.
Gregg Araki's "heterosexual" movie [i]The Doom Generation[/i] is a sick, twisted road movie that sinks far below his earlier work (i.e. [i]The Living End[/i], [i]Totally F***ed Up[/i], etc.) and into the pits of hell, which, as Araki tells us, is Los Angeles. Rose McGowan and her strange boyfriend James Duval meet Jonathan Schaech at some weird rave party, and they all end up having sex and killing a bunch of people. It's a sick movie, and I hated it.
