Mayhem

About This Movie

Mayhem (1987) is a bit rough around the edges but that’s part of its charm. It has this gritty, low-budget vibe that feels authentic. Practical effects are a highlight, with some memorable moments that stick with you, though they might not be for the faint of heart. The pacing can be uneven, really drawing you in at times, but also testing your patience in others. The tone swings from darkly comedic to unsettling, and the performances, while not polished, have a raw energy that fits the film’s chaotic spirit. It’s definitely not your run-of-the-mill horror, and if you're into the obscure, this one might just scratch that itch in a weird way.
