Currently in limited theatrical release, Joe Lynch’s outrageously entertaining horror/action/black-humored thriller MAYHEM hits home formats in December. Read on for the full details and cover art.

Scripted by Matias Caruso, MAYHEM hits DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra High-Definition 4K/Blu-ray combo December 26 from RLJE Films. It stars Steven Yeun (THE WALKING DEAD), Samara Weaving (THE BABYSITTER), Steven Brand, Caroline Chikezie, Kerry Fox and Dallas Roberts; the synopsis: “Derek Cho [Yeun] is having a really bad day. After being unjustly fired from his job, he discovers that the law firm’s building is under quarantine for a mysterious and dangerous virus. Chaos erupts throughout the office as the victims of the disease begin acting out their wildest impulses. Joining forces with a former client [Weaving] who has a grudge of her own, Derek savagely fights tooth and nail to get to the executives on the top floor and settle the score once and for all.”
