1.0/5.0
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. Go to Full Review Mark Jenkins Washington Post 01/21/2011
1.5/4
More skillfully directed than written, "Kalamity'' is competent yet never startling, either artistically or viscerally. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 11/09/2010
1/5
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. Go to Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review 02/11/2011

A talented cast can't save this low-budget psychodrama about male malaise from its meandering screenplay. Go to Full Review Frank Lovece Film Journal International 10/25/2010

08/25/2012 A very depressing but very well done film ABOUT depression. See more 05/15/2012 A killer love story. See more 03/04/2012 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. :( See more 12/16/2011 Nonsensical from start to finish. Convoluted yet boring. Tries to be dramatic, but is actually quite empty. Avoid. See more 12/09/2011 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. See more 12/02/2011 This idea could have gone somewhere but it so did not.
