In 2005, American filmmaker David DeFalco released Chaos, which was described at the time as the bloodiest, sickest, most visually repulsive movie ever made. Ever. Chicago critic Roger Ebert gave it a zero star review - http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs...F1023&AID2= - which caused DeFalco and his producer, Steven Jay Bernheim, to publish a rebuttal in Ebert's paper. Ebert responded, and both letters can be read here in an article entitled "Evil in film: To what end?," one of my favourite pieces of journalism: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.../508190304
