Clarity in "Chaos"?

1. I think that it could teach young girls that it's not all fun and games when you go out. There are men out there who have nothing but bad intentions and no conciense what so ever. In today society girls are nieve and they just don't get it. This movie could show people even parents the truth of what happens or to be corrected what could happen if girls are not careful when they go out. It's like they say "the truth hurts".

3. I agree with this..absolutly !! We put fear into our selfs about the boogie man and about the empty house down the block, but we dont put enough FEAR into whats really out there that we should be FEARING> There are sooo many rape victims that never come forward. I mean its time to WAKE up.....In the last 15 years things have been increasinly getting worse and the media isnt putting out this scarey stuff nor are the police. WE hear of the "horrible" ones, but "every rape victims story is horrible". I suggest they have all teenage teens who are running a high risk life including older women/men and hookers who choose this high risk life ...to WATCH this movie and have a discussion afterwards with a group. DONT walk away without talking about--cause you might put the fear in not trusting the good guys. Put the fear in you about the things that matter!!

4. Duh!!! WHo needs to watch that to know there a bunch od sickos out there. All a girl has to do is watch the news or listen to her mama. Watch any old episod of csi Miami and you'll know. Please, no more of this gratuitous violence and misogyny. I think men get off on making this sh*t.

5. This movie CHAOS sounds interesting. I have been personally affected by domestic violence and assault at a younger, more susceptible age (I am now almost 40 years old). I currently work in a small post-traumatic clinic in Illinois and regularly see the outcome of the awful crimes that I understand CHAOS may depict. The debate that this film raises overall is productive because the teens I speak with in the ER admitting wing, later admit in follow-up consultations, how immune they felt to everything – not just crime – at the time of their assault or rape. My understanding is that many of these kids and young adults are so disconnected from their lives or are intoxicated as a way to escape their lives, that they easily open themselves to just the type of people who commit these crimes. CHAOS may act as a warning simply because of its extreme nature. I can’t tell you the number of times I wish that I was able to express this aspect of it to kids who HAVE NOT been yet affected. As a victim of a substantial violent crime, I can say directly that no one can quite describe this awful thing happening to you in the way it took place. When I describe what happened to me to teen girls and boys, it is often buffered in order to define the event and how to avoid it, more than what actually happened. It is naturally difficult to do so. But I also now believe it is difficult to accept it if you have not experienced it. CHAOS seems like it would express what really happened and, in an unfortunately but necessarily realistic way, scare those kids. (Much like an educational film on crime and prisons I showed years ago to classrooms, “Scared Straight.”). I think viewing it once would be enough, despite its aggressive nature. I believe it would have some power in that way.

6. No way I will ever watch this trash and I enjoy a good slasher flick. Come on, these guys are trying to make a quick buck off the death of Natalie Holloway? What scumbags! How can they say this asinine film would have save her life? They have no idea what happened to her or why she ended up missing like she did. These two are shear trash and I would hope no one would help them justify this crap my paying to see this movie. This is one situation where I say rip it off on the internet somewhere if you have to watch it, but don’t pay these shanky low lives one cent.

7. too many people out there believe their little bubble will never burst and nothing evil and cruel could happen to them. They're dumb. Maybe this movie will shed some light on the horrific happenings that many young people don't notice because they're afraid to watch the evening news or have common sense.

8. Holloway has not been proven dead - not ONE shred of any evidence. She may well be a runaway, alive in South America raising her and Jug's (step father) love child. NO proof of ANY wrongdoing.

9. Unbelievable that these guy can get away with advertising this movie using a real life tragedy. There really is no shame left in Hollywood. We all grew up watching this types of movies and their’s is no different. If “Last House on the Left” didn’t detour young women from taking rides from strangers (and it didn’t) than this movies isn’t going to help either. You see, it just a movie, and deep down inside you’ll know that when you’re watching it. Like young girls are really stupid or something, please!

On a side note. The guy the wrote and directed this movie was a professional wrestler. It was released last year to poor reviews. It’s now being released on DVD and so they are trying to promote it again but taking a new tack. Losers.

10. what if some sicko out there is jacking off to this movie and then decides to do his own version himself...hmmmm..care to try and put that genie back in the bottle? when the directors ask the public to decide, what if THAT'S how some sick f*** votes?....

11. I don't have to see this sh*t acted out in gruesome detail to imagine what happens to these characters...or what may have happened to poor Natalee Holloway. I won't see movies like this, and I make it a point not to let this kind of brutality and misogyny into my consciousness. Surely I'm not the only sensitive soul out there who thinks about what she allows in. I know we have freedom of speech and these guys can vomit this stuff up if they want to, but I'm not about to give them my hard-earned 19.99, OR my sacred self to toy with. I am not for sale.

12. After seeing the news yesterday about that sicko, that went into the school and held 6 girls hostage, brutalized them, molested them , killed one and killed himself, I don't think I need to see a movie depicting even more sick violence, the world did enough for me yesterday to get the message on just how debased and twisted people can be . My condolences and heart goes out to the Hollaway's and all the children and families that suffered yesterday's events.

13. We are inundated with violence on a daily basis. In fact there are already so many "details" about brutality out there, that I have to limit my intake of the media. This movie sounds like an act of violence in and of itself. It sounds like a front out assault on women, a rape of the psyche, not a possible deterrant to future rape. Also, while saying that this movie may help prevent violence, who is to say that it might not contribute to more? What about copy cats? What about the young people who see this, and interpret it is as a reinforcement of the notion that it is alright to treat women this way. This movie was originally created as a horror movie, in other words "entertainment", not as a public service announcement. The producers seem to be finding a way to rationalize and market such bruatlity on the screeen. And that is just wrong.

14. In response to the person who posted #10 I'd just like to say you are an "ignoramous". There are sick perverts everywhere. What makes this different than any other film? Why do you think anyone would want to try thier own version? You're insane. Probably one of those people who also thinks if Heroin were legal folks would be running to the nearest 7-11 to shoot up. Did you dress up like a clown take up residence in your nearest sewer and terrorize the neighborhood kids after seeing IT? Didn't think so.

15. I think all females should see this movie- even if viewing it behind 10 fingers blocking out the violent parts.

This is an important lesson that girls must learn not too trust strangers i.e. into strangers' cars, leave public places with strangers, etc.

When my mother was 22 she got off work (from a job in State College, PA) and her ride did not show up to take her home. She accepted a ride from a guy that seemed totally nice and harmless. Once she got in his car he immediately told her he was taking her back to his place (meanwhile she was 6 months pregnant with me!). She had to jump out of the car as soon as he slowed down a bit.

You simply cannot trust anyone.

This movie tells a very important lesson that all females must learn. Although the overall level of violence makes it difficult for female viewing.........anything less may have not driven home the warning as effectively.
