 CHAOS
UNLIMITED (Site)
Survivalist Horror. Approx 85 minutes. Not Rated, violence, gore, and lots
and lots of big guns. A
couple, Carl (Scott Lewis) and Donna (Amanda Bruton) live in a gorgeous
house out in the country tucked away into the woods. They are expecting a
visit from their friends Roger (Josh Altman) and his very pregnant wife,
Mary (Sanaz Mozafarian, who really looks pregnant in this role) and soon
after they get there, the shit hits the fan. Seems
that there is a riot going on in town and it’s spreading. Anarchy rules
and it’s headed right for them. Luckily,
Carl is a former marine and keeps lots of guns in the house. The first
wave of looters is tame and easily handled. Then comes the next wave
hidden in such a clever way that I can’t ruin it in this review.
Finally, a paramilitary group is attacking the countryside homes for loot
and is on their way to the home of our erstwhile heroes. Will they be able
to repel a squad of well trained mercenaries?
Usually, when I get a disc like this I groan and die a little
inside. Obviously, home made and micro budget, I never know what to expect
and usually I am rewarded with mind numbingly bad film making at its
finest. Then I get things like Chaos
Unlimited. With a sea of shot on video, lesbian vampire, shitty gore
fest plaguing the consumer it was nice to get something original. This
could really happen. Riots plague our country and this postulates a good
what if. What if, once it got
started it couldn’t be stopped right away? Sure, all the gun fire is
CGI’ed in, but it looks pretty god. The bullet hits are amateurish, but
show more effort than the usual, just splash blood on her tits, fare that
we get from the micro budget arena. And yes, I am a pig and it would have
been nice to see Donna’s incredible rack without the encumbrance of
clothing, but these are all minor complaints when placed against the
success of what is excellent story telling. And,
finally, is this a good movie? The measuring stick I use for this last
question is, when the flick is over, did I want it to continue? Was I so
wrapped up in the story that when the end credits hit, did I feel cheated
and wanted to see more? The answer here is yes. Congratulations to the one
man production team of Mark Lewis. He has restored my faith in the micro
budget film once again. If I were him I would update and add a ton of
content to the website that is linked above because this flick is going to
be hot. Now, I have to go watch Attack of the Blood Splattered Lesbian
Vampire Titty Humpers From Beyond the Grave. It’s bound to be good,
right?- Douglas A. Waltz
