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.

Cast Samara Weaving in everything
Mayhem is an awesome movie with a fun premise. It's very entertaining and kept making me smile from how crazy it is. Some good dark humor. Likeable lead actor and actress. Good music too.
Samara Weaving is so damn cool, and it's not just because she's stunningly beautiful. (2 viewings, 8/6/2022)

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.
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
