Rose McGowan, James Duval and Johnathon Schaech star in boundary-pushing Gregg Araki's cult hit of the 90's: a no-holds-barred teen road-trip like no other.

Teen speed-freak Amy Blue and her dim-witted boyfriend Jordan White find their lives are turned on their heads when they meet the mysterious, charismatic drifter who has a bad habit of killing people. The trio embark on a hell-ride of a journey fuelled by sex and violence that takes debauchery to new heights.

This depraved teen-tear-up includes cameos from Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, Parker Posy and Perry Farrell.

Bonus Feaures:
'My Generation' - an interview with Gregg Araki.
Commentary with Gregg Araki, Rose McGowan, James Duval & Johnathon Schaech.

Reviews
For those who can stomach the anarchic violence it's a road trip well worth taking - Total Film
Leaves even Natural Born Killers behind in the gross-out stakes - Empire

From Amazon.co.uk

Made for a fraction of the cost of Oliver Stone's similarly themed Natural Born Killers, Gregg Araki's The Doom Generation is more persuasively outrageous in its cultural satire, scarier in its violence and more profound in its vision of a hate-fuelled, media-drunk America seemingly determined to eat its young and dwell stupidly on their vengeance. Rose McGowan (Scream), James Duval (Nowhere) and Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do!) star as a trio of friends (Schaech's character actually being a complete stranger who steps into their car and into their lives one club-hopping night) who end up on a sex-and-crime spree that draws the fixed stare of television coverage. Araki makes a case for their continuing innocence in a society whose anti-outsider malevolence is barely disguised in the media but is quite naked out in the heartland, where a punishing level of bigotry is not unknown. Araki's jokes and techniques are crude yet forceful, and his anger is absolutely clear where Stone's was obscured and overreaching. The climax is among the most shattering and enraged scenes of 90s cinema. The DVD includes cast information, a theatrical trailer, and French and Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format: VHS Tape
Doom genertaion by Greg Araki is One of many extreme depictions and metaphors which not only disturb the viewer, but shock even the most de-sensitised of cult movie fans. It efortlessly portays American society as a monster of extreme proportions that will chew up and spit out anything that it sees as unholy in its society, It takes a violent rampage through the rotten underbelly of of the so called land of oppertunity.The protagonists in this film are Amy and jordon,a deliberatley and satirically archetypal drop out couple that seem innocent in contrast to the bigotry and hatred that thrusts itself upon them from the word go. Much has been made of this films alleged taciness and unrealistic feel, however this is all part of greg araki`s style as he attempts to depict how extreme and absurd American society has become.
This film not only drips sarcasm and engages in the type of dialouge and youth culture that can`t be found in any book, but creates a previously unattainable link between sex,religion and violence which later in the movie becomes perversely apparent as the film progresses.
And if the first 70 minutes of this film isn`t enough of a diconnected head-trip,then the last section will absolutley make you wish you`d stuck with the disney movie.
This film not only crosses the line of sexual and moral taboos which most mainstream fimls cower away from, but also tears up the rule book and throws it in our faces. The dark vitriol will take you over and a wave of realization will wash away inhibitions you may have. If you want a film that burns down little house on the prarie and massacres the waltons, then this movie will fit your evil tastes like a glove.

This is one of those films you watch that sort of dilates the pupils of your eyes as you watch things that you don't see everyday!! Considering the budget that this film was made on, it does pretty damn well at getting across the imagery that represents the different characters and the themes of the film, especially with the references to religion, specifically Christianity. If you're wanting to watch this to get a kick, then don't bother.... it's not 'quite' like that. You've got to have the stomach to watch it if you're usually only used to seeing heterosexual kissing and fornication in mainstream movies. This is deeper.... and dirtier.

This is definatly not for everyone. At my first viewing I initially thought that it wasn't that good but as the film progressed and I 'adapted' to it's style, by the end I loved it! It's a very eccentric and warped commentry on modern America from the perspective of three very unconventional characters who become embroiled in the road trip from hell. The film does not take itself too seriously and has a balance of violence and humour which does tip towards the former more at the end. On a final note, the music is brilliantly selected and fits the atmosphere and style perfectly. However you feel, this is not a film that's quickly forgotten.

Few films share Araki's utter dismissal of postmodern life. This installment of his "teen apocalypse" films might be his most successful--its grimness is lightened by over-the-top humor. Its sense of hope in its bisexual triad is destroyed by the terrible ideology of the present--meaning now as much as the film's production era.

This is one of my favourite film ever, it's provocative, hilarious, with great dialogues and amazing production design, however the quality of this DVD (from Australia) is very poor, it looks like it's been filmed on a cinema screen on a Hi8 camcorder, even my old VHS version is better than that. And it says extended 85 minutes version but it's exactly the same length than the French or the English version when it was released in 1995. A very rubbish product, buy the english version!

This movie seems to have been designed as a vehicle to show Rose McGowan having repeated sex with the two main male leads. Pleasant though they are,her jiggling breasts and wobbling buttocks are not enough of a plot mechanic to drive this abysmal venture imo.
There is nothing else worth seeing in this misguided attempt at a shocking road movie
I found it a fatuous, empty headed, nonsensical pile of drivel complete with chronic acting, failed attempts at humour and non sequitur scenes.
Natural Born Killers this ain't, although the makers would like it to be..
If you want to see a twisted road movie i'd recommend NBK or "Hitch-Hike" (with the great David Hess, Corinne Clery and Franco Nero) over this.

The copy I bought was described as uncut but having watched it is still missing at list one shot. The version I was sent was actually a Dutch copy with a different cover. It's a good quality DVD (unlike the "extended" version) and is still longer than other versions I've seen. The truly uncut version seems nigh-on impossible to get hold of and this one is well worth the investment - there's nothing I've seen in the same ilk which is as good.
