Ahead of the 2021 Academy Awards, Rewind of the Living Dead looks back at another of Steven Yeun’s films from the past with the 2017 horror-comedy “Mayhem”…
Horror crosses a lot of boundaries that go beyond the typical splatter fest, ghost movie or slasher extravaganza because there are a lot of films that can fall into this particular category.
Director Joe Lynch definitely agreed with that ideology when he was plotting the course for his 2017 movie “Mayhem,” which was written by Matias Caruso. Inspired by films like “Die Hard” that is the ultimate action movie, which can also sometimes pass as a Christmas favorite, Lynch decided to check off as many boxes as possible while making this particular movie.
When an outbreak occurs in an office building with a virus that essentially lowers inhibitions and dismantles morality in those infected, a mid-level attorney made out to be the fall guy in a corporate blunder decides to take matters into his own hands to get revenge on those who wronged him.
The result is a bloody, hilarious thrill ride that would definitely make John McTiernan proud.
In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to grab our nail gun and find that level 3 key card as we review the 2017 horror-comedy “Mayhem.”
