Synopsis

Amy Blue and Jordan White are young, beautiful, virgins, and spend their time smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, eating nachos, and having sex. The enigmatic Xavier Red, half angel, half demon, crashes into the couple's lives. When he blows off the head of a convenience store clerk, our two lovebirds find themselves caught up in an intense and wild adventure with no hope of escape.

Xavier is perverse, his libido is insatiable, and he carries such bad karma that every time he stops to buy fries or Diet Coke, someone dies. Jordan, a pure product of MTV, is naive, romantic, a little silly, and under the thumb of his girlfriend Amy. A modern Lolita with a touch of Bonnie Parker, Amy is prudish and rude, aggressive, excessively feminine, and more amoral than immoral. She makes love with Jordan and fucks Xavier.

They unite in a desperate, sexual love triangle, wandering through a puritanical, decadent, bloody, and xenophobic world.

The trio embarks on a nihilistic journey and ends up lost in a disjointed, dizzying, and violent nightmare.

"THE DOOM GENERATION is the edgy teen movie that will put an end to all edgy teen movies, and, oh yeah, it's also a comedy and a beautiful love story."
