The Taste of Blood
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.
Fantastic Film. Pure enjoyment.
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!
Beside Samara Weaving, not worth the time to watch
For a movie about Mayhem in an office building due to a rage virus, there sure is a lot of talking and it sure takes a long time to get to the action. Aussie Goddess Samara Weaving is great as always but the rest of the movie is a bit of a chore. Maybe if I worked in an office building it would be more exciting but I wouldn't waste 90 minutes on watching it again. Such a shame after Knights of Badassdom from the same director was so much fun
A lot more fun than I expected
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.
