Garishly tinted, wilfully sophomoric (and only intermittently funny), Greg Araki's Kaboom wears its credentials on its sleeve, being its father's baby through and through. This broad rehash of Donnie Darko-style prescient dread, served as a sex-and-gore farce, relies so much on its characters' involvement in their absurd predicaments, that it risks missing out on an audience not trained in Araki's ways.
