Nice effects though.

I'll tell you why so serious

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Yeah I know I'm late to the party on this one. Everyone already saw this rip off, eh I mean remake, of Last House on the Left years ago, but I finally caught up to speed. And I gotta say, kinda surprised at the hate it gets. I mean the rating itself is shocking. 3.1? Really? Woodchipper Massacre was rated higher than this! Shame people, shame! Essentially, Chaos is just a modern retelling of Last House on the Left. Same story, same set up, even the cops in this one were stupid too. Only difference is what happens to our girls when our band of psychos happen upon them. It's the brutality that really makes this movie. It's so shocking and in your face, it's really quite an upsetting movie to watch. Where the girls are being harassed, you really feel bad for them, when they scream you really want to help them. Most surprisingly though, it how far the filmmakers go. I suppose they were trying to up the ante. Which is an effort in on itself, as the original Last House has some pretty gruesome and memorable scenes, even by today's standards. But this newer one does actually make a very decent effort to be as offensive and disturbing as it can. It includes two very cringe worthy scenes, which I really don't want to spoil for you here, but trust me when I say I was not expecting such scenes in such a modern movie. They are traumatising. I applaud this. Nothing is G rated, everything is extreme and ugly. That's the way it should be. That's what makes an effective movie. Connected to that is the effects. Those scenes wouldn't have been nearly as brutal had the effects been dodgy, but instead they were right on the mark. Those were some stellar special effects, well done. I guess another plus of this movie, is the lead bad guy, Kevin Gage, playing Chaos. Now he's no David Hess, that's for sure, no one can take on the Hess. But, he does pretty much make this movie. He's scary, really scary. Which is ironic because the whole time I was racking my brain trying to remember where I had seen him before. It hit me that he was the friendly lead in Laid to Rest, and I couldn't believe how different he was in that movie and this one. All I know is now, I'd never want to run into this guy. He's one scary brute.But alas, while this movie is offensive and brutal, it's not all great. The ending really is a mixed basket. I won't discuss it so as to avoid spoilers. What I will say is I appreciate what the filmmakers had in mind, I find that very cool, it's just they could have executed it a bit better, let's face it, the way they went about it was pretty stupid. I don't have much more to say about this movie, but damn, I just can't get those two scenes out of my head. They were disturbing! Might just be in my top ten of most disturbing scenes I've ever seen. If you've seen this movie, you know exactly what I'm talking about. For that brutality alone, it gets an 8/10 from me.

This is by far the worst film i have ever seen. For many reasons. I know the film was due to be a remake of last house on the left but then at the last minute was changed because of its own originality...... This is ridiculous. The film is pretty much a carbon copy of the film, although it lacks all of the qualities of both the original and the more recent remake. The tagline. This film is not the goriest film, its not the most disturbing film, its not scary. All it does is it shows prolonged attacks on the two girls, breast fondling and so on and hints at one of them being raped. There is no gore!! Now this film is being marketed as the goriest film ever made. i couldn't believe it. The Ending. Honestly, the last shot of the film is ridiculous, it could be a family guy sketch, the dad stabs the villain, the cop shoots the dad, the mum shoots the cop, the villain grabs the gun and shoots the other cop then the mum..... the villain laughs like a cu*t and the feel ends, i feel as though i have wasted an hour and a half and lose faith in small independent horrors. I honestly am at a wits end as to how this film ever got made. The french are miles ahead of us in their production of solid, classy, terrifying and truly disturbing horror movies, with no need for gimmicky taglines. Please watch Inside, Martyrs, La Horde, Seven Days, Frontiers or Switchblade Romance for something a little less Sh*te.

"Chaos", despite being basically a remake of Craven's "Last House on the Left", is quite successful in delivering its intentions. The film sets out to shock and it manages to deliver a powerful sucker punch to the viewer.From the moment "Chaos" begins, with its almost "public information film" blurb, there's an impending feeling of doom. The movie is quite clear from the onset that this is a warning to youngsters and parents alike. As the film starts to pan out, its resemblance to the earlier Craven film is unmissable.Kevin Gage's Chaos is a thoroughly unpleasant chap with a penchant for violence. Gage is excellent in the part and is thoroughly believable as this screen psycho.The whole cast are very good for an independent film of this nature, particularly the actors who play the parents.7 out of 10. Worthy of a rental.

Chaos (2005) *** (out of 4) I've been dying to see this film since Roger Ebert reviewed it last year, which caused a huge debate between himself and the filmmakers. What we've got here is yet another rip of The Last House on the Left, which of course was nothing more than a cheap rip of Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring. Two girls go to a party where they walk off into the woods to buy drugs only to be raped, tortured and eventually murdered. As with the other film, the killer's eventually end up at one of the victim's house. I'm not a fan of the Craven film so it might seem strange that I'd give this a positive review but this film really shook me up with its message and the incredibly graphic and sexual violence. The film has been promoted as having the strongest violence of any film and I might just agree with that. The death scenes in the film are quite shocking and are so bad that they'll certainly stay in my mind forever. However, I don't think the film is only about violence because it works on a whole lot of emotions, which is something hard for any film to do. The film is very sad, depressing, ugly, mean and brutal. It's a very unpleasant film to watch but I believe that was the whole point. The filmmakers wanted to show ugliness at its very chore and the film captures that like not many have. The ending will probably stir up even more debate and at first I hated the ending but the more I think about it the more I think it supports today's culture. I found the performances to be incredibly good, which is another rare thing for a movie like this. Kevin Gage plays "Chaos" and is very menacing. I'm sure 99% of the people who view this movie (even the most jaded horror fans) are going to be disgusted at what they see. Hell, I was but I think that was the point to the film.**As an added side note, I've been reading various horror sites about opinions on the movie and I find it rather sad and funny that a lot are putting this film down for being a rip of the Craven movie. Yet, they don't seem to know that the Craven film was nothing more than a cheap rip of the Bergman movie. I personally feel the Bergman movie is one of the most beautiful films ever made so perhaps some of this controversy will lead viewers to that film as well.
