'' Chaos '' earned a 6 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on reviews from 17 critics . The film 's Metacritic rating is 1 out of 100 based on reviews from 8 critics , meaning “ overwhelming dislike ” making it one of the worst reviewed films on their site . Joshua Land of '' The Village Voice '' wrote , " The reference point is obviously Wes Craven 's '' Last House on the Left '' , but '' Chaos '' lacks the audience-implicating boldness or howling political outrage of that landmark ; where '' Last House '' was provocative , '' Chaos '' is merely disgusting . " The sole positive review for both Rotten Tomatoes ' and Metacritic 's listings came from Ken Fox of '' TV Guide '' s Movie Guide , who gave it 2 ½ out of 4 stars and said , " Unlike so many other '' Last House on the Left '' rip-offs , this virtual remake is reasonably well shot and convincingly acted . " '' Chaos '' received some publicity from Roger Ebert 's zero star review and the filmmaker 's response . Ebert wrote in his initial review that " '' Chaos '' is ugly , nihilistic , and cruel – a film I regret having seen . I urge you to avoid it . Do n't make the mistake of thinking it 's ' only ' a horror film , or a slasher film . It is an exercise in heartless cruelty and it ends with careless brutality . " DeFalco responded with a full page letter in the '' Chicago Sun-Times '' , saying in part , " Mr. Ebert , how do you want 21st century evil to be portrayed in film and in the media ? Tame and sanitized ? Titillating and exploitive ? Or do you want evil portrayed as it really is ? ' Ugly , nihilistic and cruel ' , as you say our film does it ? " Ebert replied to DeFalco in the article " Evil in film : To what end ? " , with " In a time of dismay and dread , is it admirable for filmmakers to depict pure evil ? Have 9/11 , suicide bombers , serial killers and kidnappings created a world in which the response of the artist must be nihilistic and hopeless ? At the end of your film , after the other characters have been killed in sadistic and gruesome ways , the only survivor is the one who is evil incarnate , and we hear his cold laughter under a screen that has gone dark . ... Your answer , that the world is evil and therefore it is your responsibility to reflect it , is no answer at all , but a surrender . " Ebert also argued that , " Your real purpose in making '' Chaos '' , I suspect , was not to educate , but to create a scandal that would draw an audience . There 's always money to be made by going further and being more shocking . Sometimes there is also art to be found in that direction , but not this time . "
