CHAOS (2005)

Cast

Plot

With Chaos, Hideo Nakata proves that as well as scaring the heebie-jeebies out of his audiences with horror classics like 'Ring' and 'Dark Water' he can also carry his own with the best psychological thrillers. A woman hires a local handyman to kidnap her and leave her tied up in a friend's apartment. When he returns from collecting the ransom the woman is dead and a sinister phone call tells him to dump the body or risk capture by the police. Hitchcockian in both tone and content, Chaos twists and turns at every step, revealing in flash-back the internecine mechanizations of the central characters and making the viewer reassess what's going on at regular intervals. A gripping, mind-bending modern film noir.
