Summary
RATING: Not Rated
Starring Kevin Gage, Stephen Wozniak, Kelly K.C. Quann, Sage Stallone, Chantal Degroat, Maya Barovich, and Ken Medlock
Quite definitely one of the most brutal displays of violence ever set to celluloid, Chaos is a dark fairy tale of two young happy teens whose rose-colored contact lenses tint their wooded path a little too densely,causing them to lose themselves in their youthful immortality, and the big bad wolf is all too real. (Dinsdale Releasing)

TV Guide Ken Fox
Unlike so many other "Last House" rip-offs, this virtual remake is reasonably well shot and convincingly acted; the special effects make the film's considerable brutality difficult to laugh off.
Read Full Review >Variety Robert Koehler
Chaos may not quite be "the most brutal, horrifying film ever made," as its garish ads promote. But it does contain moments as thoroughly sickening as any in Herschell Gordon Lewis' or Lucio Fulvi's bloody exploiters.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
Amateurishly shot, written and acted, the film lacks any redeeming values to compensate for its horrific aesthetic.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Joshua Land
Chaos lacks the audience-implicating boldness or howling political outrage of that landmark (Wes Craven's "Last House on the Left"); where Last House was provocative, Chaos is merely disgusting.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Laura Kern
The only thing this so-called cautionary tale will inspire audiences to do is to never sit through another insultingly awful piece of exploitative trash "conceived" by David DeFalco.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust
Plunges into an abyss of gruesome imagery so repulsive it precludes further watching.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
A loathsome shocker... Watching it almost turned my stomach.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Chaos is ugly, nihilistic, and cruel -- a film I regret having seen. I urge you to avoid it.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly John Patterson
Writer-director David DeFalco's ugly, pointless and dishonest remake of Craven's remake.

Bill B. gave it a5:
I am giving the movie a low score because all of the violence in it was implied. Characters are shown to turn away from the scene where one of them is supposed to cut into a girl's breast, but we never get to see anything. At the only other time where violence is even mentioned, one character tells the camera where there used to be 2 holes, he used his knife to make one big one, but again, the viewers don't get to see anything. It is a lame movie.
Danielle A. gave it a0:
This is the worst film I have ever seen in all my forty plus years of going to the movies. Something any intelligent person would agree with if they played through the special features and heard the kind of idiotic and brainless statements that the creators of this junk try to make. Like saying for example [***SPOILER***] that the girls could have avoided their fate by saying no to Swan when they're right outside the door of Chaos's cabin. Didn't Swan say the cabin was twenty minutes away from the already extremely secluded rave party? There is no excuse for this type of film or filmmaking. I was extremely disturbed and disgusted with Chaos and I strongly advise that no one waste their money or time renting or watching this.
Kylee D. gave it a0:
To endure Chaos, I kept repeating to myself "this is only a crappy rip-off". David DeFalco should take a full page ad and apologise to Wes Craven instead of blasting Roger Ebert. To say this movie sucked is being way too kind.
Joshua D. gave it a0:
It's as bad as your mind will allow.
Bryan W. gave it a0:
Yes it really is that bad. The fact that the filmmakers seem to be convinced that they've made some sort of social commentary about violence in world just shows them to be clueless morons. Yes, there is horrible violence in the world but this sub par rip off of Last House on the Left has nothing of value to say about this.
C. gave it a0:
Yes, truly bad. Don't agree with another reviewer's analogy of Takashi Miike meets Uwe Boll; Miike actually does good films. Boll just sucks. Like this movie.
Buster P. gave it a0:
"Just short of a masterpiece"? I'd like to see that on the front of the box. So everyone afterwards could look up the guy that said it and demand their ten dollars back. I knew this would be bad but not this bad. And I don't mean that in a good way either. Imagine Uwe Boll and Takashi Miike made a film together and you've got CHAOS.
