An arty atrocity for thugs and sub-literates that makes Natural Born Killers look like The Sound of Music.

Reviews for The Doom Generation
Top CriticIn terms of filmmaking, point of view and oddball sense of humor, Araki's film is better than both [Kids and Natural Born Killers].
01/01/00
As a stylish black comedy, it is impressively uncompromising and should be applauded.
01/01/00
It's young, it's hip, it's excruciating for anyone who has already survived adolescence.
01/01/00
Admittedly, Araki's new feature may not appeal to all tastes, but that does not at all diminish its immediacy and wit.
01/01/00
A senseless comic exercise in pushing the limits of decency for that sake alone.

Not every kid may be as mad and morose as Araki's lost boys... But a lot are, and in this fevered fantasy of Armageddon, he's got their number.

Top CriticThis is the kind of movie where the filmmaker hopes to shock you with sickening carnage and violent amorality, while at the same time holding himself carefully aloof from it with his style.

Top CriticI'd step on a thumbtack before watching it again.

A note to Gregg: grow up. Really. Move out of your parent's basement, read something other than Salinger, and get a day job.
