Chaos?
BandSAboutMovies16 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Reign of Chaos sounds like a pretty metal title and when you learn that three women descended from the goddess Nike are battling a dark lord named Chaos (Mark Sears) and all of humanity - who are now rabid - well, that sounds just about right.

Producer Scott Jeffrey (Jurassic Island, Exorcist Vengeance), director Rebecca Matthews (Hatched) and writer Tom Jolliffe (Witches of Amityville Academy) have been releasing seemingly a streaming movie every month, but by and large I've enjoyed their films.

This one, well...

Rhodi (Peter Cosgrove, The Curse of Halloween Jack, Winterskin) must bring together Lindsay (Georgia Wood, The Bad Nun), Nicole (Rebecca Finch, Shadowland) and Alina (Rita Di Tuccio, The Mummy Reborn) to be a fighting force against the forces of the dead who are known as the Joiners. Except, you know, there are still gyms open in the end times. Even Planet Fitness shut down for the pandemic.

There are also stores that sell Matrix-style tight-fitting body suits to potential world-saving superheroines. Capitalism must never die.

I've seen lots of comments in reviews about the budget of this, but what do you expect? There's an audience for these low spend direct to streaming films and more often than not, it's me. If it's you, you already know what to expect.

Just because the world is ending doesn't mean we can't have a training montage.

Colosal fail 👎
opticuscro16 December 2022
First impressions are quite negative. The first thing that is visible and its really bad is the visual effects (masks, make-up, etc.) for 2022 thats just not efficient. Immediately afterwards, you realize that the film's sound is badly done its like its recorder with better droid phone. In general, the shoot visualy (recording technique, ambience) is catastrophically bad its look like it not invested any effort at all. The worst thing here is actually the acting, which I wouldn't even classify as amateur acting. To make matters worse, all the characters are equally generic and uninteresting, oh well, im not recommend this!

Reign of Cringe Warning: Spoilers
(this is my personal opinion) sorry but this movie is terrible, the flicks at begining seemed just bad and cheap, general video quality looks like weird to me, as if it was recorded from a phone, that may be the reason why the infected's makeup looked terrible or they just did bad work on that too... And then if I understood correctly, the 'plague' started loooooong ago, so how do they come have modern technology and architecture?

I know this is a low budget movie.

But the fighting scenes...just...argh... The 'Guardian' looks and sounds like a low budget Gandalf?

But tbh this just looks like some sort of a Resident Evil / Lara Croft / Matrix fan film from YouTube.

Don't bother

Don't watch this movie !!!. Believe me I tried for 30 minutes (I should've realized after 5 minutes that this is a joke of a movie): a beggar, I don't understand how, fools three tramps (I'm sorry but this is because this girls are so stupid and leave the impression that are some t...you understand what) that are the reincarnation of Nike (a demigod in service of Athena) who have to battle Chaos after he killed all the other gods. Believe me you seen 90' B movies with more sense.

Say what??!!

I don't know where to begin. I was lucky enough to not have to pay for this dreck and unlucky enough to catch the first half on-line for free. All I have to say is that there are so many actors in the world that need to get their break. Unfortunattely, signing on for something like this won't help them, it'll only pay their bills temporarily. But what can you expect from people that produced knock-offs (Jurassic Island,of other great movies (Jurassic Island,Exorcist Vengeance).

In short, I believe that first year film students that are struggling to pass can produce a better movie than this using a smartphone.

Gripping, One-Of-A-Kind Tale That Will Have You Intrigued With Its Storyline
rannynm13 May 2022
Reign of Chaos is a tale of anarchy. The evil Chaos has released a terrible plague on the world. Humans are descending into a rabid race of monsters, and mankind's last hope lies in three young women, descendants of a goddess who each have special powers. They must train and then use their powers to take down the great lord Chaos.

The most remarkable part of Reign of Chaos is its storyline. There are also lots of closeup and medium shots with dim lighting to complement the eerie mood. The voice modulation used on Chaos, one part of the special effects in the film, is great; it gives him a Darth Vader-esque voice that's menacing and powerful. The casting of this film is not particularly memorable-perhaps because the roles are not especially memorable-though every actor portrays their character well.

Reign of Chaos promotes resourcefulness, leadership, taking action and teamwork. The film contains violence and some profanity; the protagonists are initially a bit hostile to one another, but in the end work together and are great examples to kids watching the film.

I give Reign of Chaos 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. Reign of Chaos will be available on Digital April 12, 2022.
