Mayhem

Just saw this at the Fantasia film festival last night and loved every second. A humour-filled, ultra-violent movie which skewers corporate office life -often literally. For anyone who has ever worked in a cubicle or hated their boss. Brilliantly funny and gory in equal amounts. So glad I went!

And far better than it had any right to be. Helped a lot by Stephen Yuen, who damn well ought to be in a lot more movies. Samara Weaving (very good in Netflix' "The Baby-Sitter") adds a lot to the film as well.

Think of it as a grind-house Office Space, and you won't go wrong. Lots of blood, profanity, and (oddly enough) the slightest touches of profundity.

Don't expect anything more than over-the-top violence, weird laughs, and blistering payback and you'll have a good, if low-brow time.

Excellent action film. The movie never slows down.

This was a breath of fresh air and I loved every minute of it and to be honest this was one for the B list actors as A lister's I feel would have ruined it?

Samara Weaving is one to watch out for and will no doubt soon be in big blockbusters!! Great actress who very much looks like Margot Robbie but fitter and has more of a presents on screen. She did great in The Babysitter too. My new Favourite female actress for sure.

Any way back to the movie...

The special effects was above par for the budget and acting was solid all round!

I am sure if an A lister was in this movie it would have made it into the mainstream Cinema's and not just 'Film Festival'

9 out of 10

A virus takes control over the working staff of a big company - mayhem and violence breaks out in the offices, blood flows. If you like movies like The Belko Experiment, The Night Watchmen, Infestation etc., Mayhem will also work for you - you get some blood and action, some funny moments, a good production and also some known actors like Steven Yeun (TWD), Samara Weaving (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) and Dallas Roberts (3:10 to Yuma, The Grey) and some more. Nothing special but a solid and entertaining bloody horror comedy - for fans of the genre.
