After a love affair ends badly, a young man (Nick Stahl) returns to his hometown and finds that his best friend (Jonathan Jackson) has become dangerously unstable.

With an overdone score, horrendous script, choppy editing, and bizarre tone changes, Kalamity is just weird in that B-movie, straight-to-video way that sometimes distinguishes films into the so-bad-it's-good genre but not quite here.

Rated: 1.0/5.0

More skillfully directed than written, "Kalamity'' is competent yet never startling, either artistically or viscerally.

Rated: 1.5/4

Stahl should have had a career similar to Sam Rockwell's, blending thoughtful indies with fun popcorn flicks. Instead, he's spinning his wheels in junk like this.

A talented cast can't save this low-budget psychodrama about male malaise from its meandering screenplay.

Slow and quite boring. This film could have been 20 times better and it had all the potential to be. Sadly enough, I am in it for two scenes as well. Ugh. :(

Nonsensical from start to finish. Convoluted yet boring. Tries to be dramatic, but is actually quite empty. Avoid.

What a pretentious, long winded, boring, self serving piece of crap. Who cares about these people? The movie just makes you wish it would hurry up & be over already. That's the strongest emotion it engendered.

This idea could have gone somewhere but it so did not.
