Kaboom is a 2010 science fiction sex comedy mystery film[3][4][5] written and directed by Gregg Araki and starring Thomas Dekker, Juno Temple, Haley Bennett, and James Duval.

[6] The film centers on the sexual adventures of a group of college students and their investigation of a bizarre cult.

Kaboom premiered at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival,[7] where it was awarded the first-ever Queer Palm for its contribution to lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender issues.

[5][10] Smith, an 18-year-old film student who identifies sexually as "undeclared", has been having strange dreams recently.

She tells him that she had a twin sister named Rebecca who was kidnapped many years ago by men wearing animal masks.

The animal-masked people turn out to be Thor, Rex, and Hunter, whose mission is to get London and Smith to a secret underground shelter to survive the explosion of dozens of nuclear bombs.

The website's consensus reads: "Jumbled and shallow yet easy to watch, Kaboom is a one-night stand that isn't meant to lead anywhere – but is fun enough while it lasts.

"[13] Sam Adams of Philadelphia City Paper was much more critical about it, and said it was "less a movie than a masturbatory doodle, a sloppy, shoddy regurgitation of Araki's pet trope that tries to pass off its slipshod structure as a free-wheeling lark.
