In the SunTimes, Roger Ebert recently reviewed the new movie Chaos, and gave it zero stars. That’s fine, I’m usually not interested in movies like that, and his review made it clear that we shouldn’t go see this one.
However, he did say something that made me curious:
Can anyone here reveal what these scenes were?
Probably the ones with the Lorena Attractor and the Kock Snowflake. That’s pretty hardcore stuff.
What?
…
From the Slant review (Ed Gonzalez) cited in Ebert’s review:An impromptu tittie-slicer and rectal-vaginal probe will have gorehounds pitching tents, but nothing else commands the nervous energy of these two scenes.
Wes Craven should sue.
The filmmakers took such exception to Ebert’s review, they bought a full-page ad in his paper rebutting him, to which Roger felt obliged to respond.
