Editorial Reviews

A former university professor traps six innocent strangers in an abandoned steam room and threatens to kill them by slowing cranking up the heat until they perish. The hostages can only be saved if a local newspaper publishes his story about global warming and its effects on humanity at large. A police investigator must then race against time to find the terrified, panicked subjects of The Chaos Experiment – a new test in survival.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why, Val, why?, August 7, 2009

By

This review is from: The Chaos Experiment (DVD)

Kilmer and Assante do their best with this oddly written thriller. I don't mean odd in a good way.

Zero suspense, poor story-flow, and a laughably bad ending makes me want to one-star the effort. However, Val Kilmer and Armand Assante manage to elevate the production to "curious". The victim's introduction scene in the steam room will be your challenge; if you can get past that, you won't be too disappointed by the time you suffer the end - you know the letdown potential is fairly high early on.

There are several "uncomfortable" moments which are surely worth something, but there are no shocks for the horror fan, and no neat twists or dialogue for the intellectual thriller crowd.

The soundtrack (Don MacDonald) stood out, and Grand Rapids natives will be interested to see home on the big screen. Otherwise this is hard to recommend to anyone but a die hard Kilmer or Assante completist.

1.0 out of 5 stars I just kept thinking, 'It's going to get better!', August 15, 2009

I was wrong. It never got better. Why Val Kilmer and Eric Roberts would sign on to do this movie is completely beyond me. Actually, why a studio would spend the time trying to make something that looks like a feature film out of that script is beyond me. Seriously one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I should have looked for reviews before I pulled it off the shelf at Blockbuster.

Dont waste your time or your money. I LOVE Val Kilmer and I almost cried at how bad this movie was. The ending, especially, is so stupid.
