Eric Stevenson Well, here it is people. This was ranked as the worst thing ever on the website Metacritic. Well, technically it was tied with a bunch of other movies, but it doesn't really matter. I have no clue what's going on here. I heard it was supposed to be a remake of "Last House On The Left", but then in the credits they say it was an original story. They also say that it was based on a true story, but then the credits say any similarities to real people are coincidence. What even is this? I remember this being one of Roger Ebert's most hated movies of all time and it makes perfect sense. If you're going to criticize a movie for being disgusting, make sure it's one that's horribly acted like this.Ebert had sort of a feud with the director. Well, they exchanged e-mails trying to defend their position, but they were certainly at each other's throats. Yep, it certainly deserves all of this. Ads say that it was "only a movie" so we shouldn't be offended by it. If it's "only a movie" why even watch it? There is nothing unique about this film in the slightest. We get some bland story stretched over 74 minutes and even then, it seems to go on forever. It is probably the worst horror movie I have seen in my entire life. It is a film that is rotten in every sense of the word. It features a deranged maniac with a bunch of friends. The plot is that two girls are tricked into going into a house of a bunch of evil people who do terrible things to them. That's all. I don't want to even say anything more about the story, if you can even call it.This movie is unpleasant with horrible characters everywhere. The cops who are supposed to be good are terrible people. One even says he isn't racist even though he then admits that black people are bad. What kind of idiot says that? In the end, everybody kills each other for no reason. Why is this happening? Why is everyone such a horrible person? Even the story is so stupid! The one girl runs away until it's dark and still can't get away from her attackers. We get scenes over and over of these girls screaming and running and that's it. Where am I supposed to be entertained by this? There is nothing interesting going on at all. It is one of the most insulting films ever made. It has some of the least amount of purpose I've ever seen in a film. It is abysmal with how ugly it is. I just wanted to get away from the screen while this was on. I actually stomached the whole thing. I have no doubt that if my mom saw this, she would think it was the worst movie she ever saw. Even a horrid film like "Caligula" at least has some interesting sets. Nothing is fancy in this. It's just terrible people doing terrible things. There's no music too. It's just a bleak pointless psychotic monstrosity the whole way through. It's hard to find any reason why anyone would like this. Avoid this at all costs. Zero stars

Jakforster 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.

dmacewen 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?

Michael_Elliott 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.
