This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

If you ever pondered whether David DeFalco's Chaos was inspired by Last House on the Left, indeed it was to some extent, but according to the director, the true muse behind the terror was Bergman's Virgin Spring. Truthfully Chaos should be considered the Last House on the Left unofficial remake, though. It's everything the official 2009 remake should have been and the nastiness is relentless. Where Last House on the Left (1972) had comic relief moments, those in Chaos were completely lacking, but certainly they weren't missed. It made for a heavy atmosphere and a mood that dripped intensity. The constant movement propelled the plot and moments whisked past to abrupt completion.Kevin Gage is "Chaos," previously incarcerated father of Sage Stallone's "Swan" character, and he travels with his misfit gang of Steven Wozniak's "Frankie" and KC Quann's "Daisy" after getting out of the pen and thirsting for more blood
Meanwhile, two girls decide to hit a rave in the forest with their parents' reluctant blessing, and when they go looking for drugs they meet up with the wrong fella. I said it before and I'll say it again, don't do drugs. Drugs are bad. If you're in Chaos, drugs will get you forced to do degrading sexual acts to your best friend. Chaos is hardcore.One of the frustrations with horror movies is that they cut away during the grotesque and imply what may occur so this is left entirely to the viewer's imagination. DeFalco does no such thing. This is a gritty, dirty, and bold, in your face horror film with the disclaimer at the beginning that this is a warning to young girls. There's no happy ending here. American horror has become so reliant on the message of hope that the lack thereof is almost refreshing in a sense. This is grating realism analogous to the atrocities depicted on the five o' clock news, but the reassurance of fiction is a minimal comfort. The film has been repeatedly rated low because of the unapologetic brutality and the sentiment of viewers is that they wish they hadn't seen such extreme scenes.If horror comedies are your thing, this film may not be. If ultra-violent slashers give you wood, then Chaos will be right up your alley. Actor, Wozniak, shared that a Chaos prequel is on the horizon with DeFalco once again at the director's helm. I couldn't be more excited.

Are you the kind of person who enjoys wasting time and money? Are you into self abuse? Do you like walking away from a movie theater complaining about being ripped off? If so, this movie was made for you.Chaos (2005) was a pathetic excuse to provide poor writing, poor directing, and poor acting a vehicle for subhuman violence and degradation. I'm glad I didn't pay anything to see it. In fact, you would have to pay me quite a bit to sit through it again. If you see Chaos (2005) on a clearance rack somewhere selling for $2.00, ask the cashier if she will pay you to take it off their hands and then promptly dump it in the garbage once you have collected your disposal fee.

Sad, Sad, Sad. "Chaos", is horrible. It was very disturbing and not well written. The movie focuses on two girls who get lured away from a party by a man who will give them free drugs. Then are beaten, raped, and murdered by his dad, his dads girlfriend, and their friend. The part that got to me most was the rape scenes. The scenes were way to graphic. Another problem was the plot. The plot was very predictable and was not even scary one bit. The creators of this film take the plot of another movie,"The last House On The Left", change a couple of things, and claim it all their own. Which by the way David DeFalco LHOTL is a great movie unlike yours. This movie was sadistic and the director tried to hard to make it the most disturbing, graphic, disgusting movie ever made. When the girl gets her nipple cut off and is made to eat it proves that David DeFalco is a sick, twisted man. The only reason i gave it a star is because the acting wasn't bad. Everything else was very disturbing. I love horror films that are graphic and disturbing but this was way over the top.

One wouldn't expect an individual to own up to how genuinely effective this film is when said individual refers to Wes Craven's "Last House on the Left" as "mediocre." (The junk Craven has been churning out since Scream 1 deserves that label, not "Last House.") A viewer should have the maturity to admit that he found a film shocking even when he disapproves of it. Note one viewer who claims the film is nasty and overly graphic and yet lame at the same time. Is it possible to find a film "dull" when one obviously had such strong reactions against it? Or, to quote Stephen Thrower, is it possible to be bored and outraged simultaneously? The answer is obvious. At least Roger Ebert, a critic I despise (note that his parry to the filmmakers' defense, had the honesty to admit that the film affected him and that he could not deny its impact, and this was in a zero star review. But some people can't stand to admit when they are genuinely bothered by a film like "Chaos," so they try to have it both ways, so they cop a stance of combined disaffectedness and moral/aesthetic outrage. I.e., "The viewer doth protest too much." As for the predictable, banal, and tiresome claims that the violence and rape don't "help the plot," not all movies -- or books, for that matter -- are about "plot." No one complains that the philosophical inquiries in a Bergman film don't "advance the plot." "Art" and "Exploitation" have more in common than originally meets the eye, as evidenced by the source material for Wes Craven's original film. So stop obsessing over Alfred Hitchcock and his plot-driven style of film-making: his method is not the only valid method with which to craft a thriller. Besides, the obvious is right in front of your nose and you can't even see it: this film's story is about the depredations that befall the two teen-aged girls. The thing done to them in the woods ARE the plot. Get it?
