Two young women, Angelica (Chantal Degroat), who has returned home for the summer from UCLA, and Emily (Maya Barovich) go off to a rave in the woods, where Angelica hopes to score some ecstasy. There, they meet Swan (Sage Stallone, horror aficionado and son of actor Sylvester Stallone), who, unbeknownst to them, was sent to find two naïve young women and bring them back to his father, Chaos (Kevin Gage), and his depraved cohorts, Frankie (Stephen Wozniak) and Daisy (Kelly K.C. Quann). As the
helpless girls are brought into the woods to be tortured and murdered, Emily's loving parents grow worried that their normally levelheaded daughter has missed her curfew and is not answering her cell phone. After a frustrating encounter with the local police, they decide to go and look for the girls themselves. Chaos, written and directed by David DeFalco, is clearly modeled after Wes Craven's seminal 1972 low-budget horror film, Last House on the Left, which was inspired by Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi
Chaos will likely find an audience based on its infamy as the most brutal film ever made. Yet I don't think I'd like to meet anyone who would subject himself to this thing willingly.
Male exploitation denizens will file this under 'must-see,' but everyone else above legal age should consider the barf bags that distribdistrib Dinsdale Releasing is considering handing out during limited release.
I urge you to avoid it. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's 'only' a horror film, or a slasher film. It is an exercise in heartless cruelty and it ends with careless brutality. The movie denies not only the value of life, but the possibility of hope.
A prefatory title-card-cum-alibi suggests that the film's extreme brutality is intended 'to educate and, perhaps, save lives,' but that's little more than a nauseating rationalization.
A blatant, disgusting rip-off of Last House on the Left, so much I'm surprised a lawsuit wasn't filed. Poor quality filmmaking and just awful on all counts.
Kevin Gage is good as the killer/rapist. He cuts a nipple off one of the girls, makes her eat it, kills her AND THEN rapes her. He shoves a Crocodile Dundee sized knife up the other girl's ass. Nice moves but without any merit. Everyone else in this movie sux. The acting is painfully bad.This is another film that's
supposed to be a message about toture porn instead of simply being toture porn. The film begins with a written message saying so and hopes that by alerting parents and potential victims to the scaries out there, maybe it will save a life. What a joke. Fuck you, you pussy filmmaker. Who cares if Roger Ebert didn't like your film? I didn't like it either because it totally sucked.
