Directed by Joe Lynch, it stars Steven Yeun, Samara Weaving, Caroline Chikezie, and Dallas Roberts. Variety’s Joe Leydon remarks, “Mayhem keeps the pedal to the metal throughout its lean-and-mean 86-minute running time, allowing few opportunities for any catching of breath or scoping for plot holes.”
