We've seen Steven Yeun fight against the infected on AMC's The Walking Dead, but in Joe Lynch's Mayhem, he'll face a different—albeit equally lethal—virus, and you can now mark your calendars with the official release date.
Rue Morgue reported that RLJ Entertainment will release Mayhem in select cinemas and VOD and Digital HD platforms on November 10th. Following its theatrical release, Mayhem is set to stream on Shudder in early 2018.
We'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated as more information on Mayhem is revealed, including its first trailer, and in case you missed it, read our own Heather Wixson's SXSW review of the film.
"Directed by Joe Lynch (Everly) and written by Matias Caruso, the film stars Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), Samara Weaving (Monster Trucks), Steven Brand (The Scorpion King) and Dallas Roberts (Dallas Buyers Club).
In MAYHEM, an airborne virus infects the corporate tower of a major law firm on the day attorney Derek Saunders (Yeun) is wrongfully fired. The infection is capable of making people act out on their “mosterratic” impulses and viral rage takes over. Trapped in the quarantined building, Saunders is forced to fearlessly fight for his job, his redemption and his life.
MAYHEM was produced by Avva Pictures Mehrdad Elie & Parisa Caviani along with Circle of Confusion’s Lawrence Mattis & Matt Smith."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
