Chaos

So I'm sticking to it. Every movie I watch will be blogged. Good... bad... or indifferent. Oh, Chaos you were so very very bad.

Let me break it down as simply as possible. Chaos is a retelling of Last House on the Left. I really don't know what else to say. There is no need to make a film that has the same basic plot as other films that already exist. It was tough to get through. Sure, the bad acting was entertaining. Soaking in all the laughable dialogue also passed the time. But when it came right down to it, nothing could resuscitate this worn out movie. If you aren't going to try and accomplish something different, what's the point? If I had any interest in reliving this story, I would just watch The Virgin Spring.

If you do decide to spend 74 nonrefundable minutes of your life with this film, make sure you stick it out till the end. The only thing that makes this Last House ripoff worth anything, is it's mind blowing conclusion. By mind blowing, I mean goofy, out of left field and down right unbelievable.

I also hate the term "brutal". In my travels I have found if something is referred to as "brutal", it most likely is not. Such a silly buzz word.

This movie IS brutal. From the "Anarchy" sign replacing the "A" in "Chaos", to the hardcore "2 Holes 1 Knife" rape scene. And maybe the most brutal aspect of this film is the realistic portrayals of our antagonists in this film. These people are "hardcore", and if you don't believe me then look at the lead characters goatee...nothing says "mean mofo" like a rotten milk smelling magicians beard. Chaos should be renamed "Kick Ass" because that is what it did to my mind...I will never feel safe when trying to score ecstasy from a Stallone again. Period. And not many films have that sort of impact.
