In the office building, a lawyer livestreams himself after burning the body of his colleague.
He even challenges the board of directors about his crime.
Is he a psycho or a serial killer?
Why does no one intend to stop him?
This is Movie Shortens.
Let’s find out the answers in the following movie called: Mayhem.
Spoilers ahead.
Watch out and take care!
A new virus called ID-7, a.k.a the “Red Eye” virus, attacks people throughout the
world.
The infected will be exposed to animalistic impulses including: anger, depression, fear,
and wild sexual desire.
As a result, they will act on bloodlust that can cause them to murder anyone who triggers
their rage.
Nevil Reed was the first case recorded of murder who killed his co-worker by a pen after
positive to the virus.
The newly graduated Derek Cho helped Nevil free from homicide thanks to a loophole defense.
Derek turned the case on the virus consequences instead.
Within several months, the win brings Derek to higher promotion with a corner office at
Towers and Smythe Consulting (TSC).
One morning, Derek arrives at his office, realizing his favorite mug is gone.
After making an excuse to his family about his “too busy” timeline, he gets to meet
with a client named Melanie, who is furious about extending her loan time.
Seeing that this case once belonged to Irene, Derek’s boss, Derek refuses to help her
to avoid further troubles.
Derek calls the security to send her out.
Melanie is pissed and threatens to sue the whole TSC.
Derek sips some water from a strange glass in the client room, not knowing that the water
is contaminated.
After that, Derek goes to look for his mug in the tea room while a coworker gossips about
a legal case from Vandacorp, which has been pinned on him by his superior Kara Powell.
Derek immediately rushes to see Kara, the one he has called “Siren” as she is the
ear of the company head - John Towers.
The building is highly secured with a strict check-in system in order to reach to superior’s
levels.
To see Kara, Derek has to wait for the elevator to send out a passcode.
Derek confronts Kara about her framing him to the Vandacorp case, finding that Kara also
took his mug.
The two then get to a higher level to see John Towers by Kara’s card.
However, Kara wins over Derek, sending him to wait for the last assessment from The Nine
- the company board of directors.
At this time, some of the people in the company appear with the very first symptoms: red and
itchy eyes.
Considering the huge trouble of the case from Vandacorp, The Nine agrees with John to pass
the buck to Derek.
Derek’s very close co-worker Ewan is also unable to help him.
Derek is then given an official notice of fire by the HR Head - Lester.
Derek is escorted downstairs by the security.
Right at that moment, he and the security guards find that the building is under quarantine;
the ID-7 virus has been detected in the ventilation system.
CDC agents have arrived at the building, estimating that it will take eight hours for the virus
to be neutralized.
Shortly after the lockdown is set, everyone in the building encounters the next symptom:
escalating anger.
The CDC instructs the boards of directors to stay calm and controlled.
However, John becomes aggressive, knowing that he will lose half a million dollars for
eight hour of non-working in the building.
He demands the staff to get back to work immediately regardless of warnings from the CDC outside.
At that moment, there is a phone call telling John that Derek wanted to come up and have
a talk with John and The Nine.
Derek, after getting infected, becomes tempered and decides to make the Nine reconsider his
contract termination.
However, John sends Colton, known as John’s Bull, to meet Derek instead.
Whenever John suspects some certain dangers or dirty acts, Colton and other Bulls will
handle it.
Derek is then beaten badly while John refuses to have a second thought on the decision.
John is a sick boss, always trying to eliminate those he hates at all cost.
As Derek is hurt but doesn’t cry, John makes Colton spray on Derek’s eyes so he can see
some painful tears.
Next, John wants to hear a bone break over the phone.
Luckily, Ewan enters and fights for Derek.
However, Colton defends, Ewan hits the nails on the wall by his head.
Erwan walks up to Derek and drops to die right away.
John assures the guards that the virus kills Ewan and he will handle legal issues over
Ewan’s death.
Derek rages on after hearing John say so.
One more time, Derek earns himself a hit in the face and becomes unconscious.
John orders to lock him under the basement.
Awakening after that, Derek happens to see Melanie again.
Melanie spits Derek in the face for rejecting her case earlier.
The two then fight furiously but decide to work together.
Derek has to explain to Melanie about the effects of the ID-7 virus on the infected.
For that, all violent actions, even murders are not liable.
Derek reminds Melanie about Irene, the woman that ruined her case, and plan to help each
other.
Derek wants to gain his job back and avenge for Ewan while Melanie has her reason to see
Irene.
As long as they take action within 8 hours, they do not have to hold any legal responsibility.
Derek manages to invent a working phone in the basement.
Next, he sets up a call with VanderCorp and makes John join in too.
In the meeting, Frank - head of VanderCorp, accuses TCS for turning their back on VanderCorp.
According to Derek, TCS has violated the mutual agreements.
They meant to make VanderCorp lose at first and blamed it to Derek instead.
Frank then tears the contract in front of The Nine, making TCS lose their million dollar
partner.
Colton then follows the demand to chop Derek’s hand.
As entering the basement, Melanie lures the guards by asking if they want some pizza.
Derek appears from their backs and attacks the two with a board.
Due to the virus and the cumulative stress, Derek turns into a beast.
He kills Colton right away.
After that, Derek and Melanie prepare themselves with some tools for weapons in the equipment
room before heading to the top.
It is 6 hours left.
According to the plan, Derek tells Melanie to head to the 6th floor first where the HR
Head Lester has a level two key card.
It can take them to the 7th floor to reach Kara with the level three card, paving the
way to reach the penthouse after that.
At first, the two spot Lester in the hallway.
Melanie shoots him with the nail gun but Lester can avoid it.
Lester then locks himself in his office.
Melanie gets a taser shot by the Bulls.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the building, Derek manages to run off.
Lester comes out and torture freezing Melanie on the floor.
A moment later, Derek appears with the nail gun.
Lester quickly hides in the office again.
Derek and Melanie threaten Lester to give the key out.
However, as taking the key from Lester, Derek gets stabbed in the hand.
Lester then attacks Melanie with the nail gun, only to get killed with the saw from
the tool bag.
After that, Melanie helps Derek to draw the scissors out of his hand.
Before heading to the 7th floor, Derek has a video recording to fend for himself after
the lockdown.
He shows the world his red eye, meaning the virus that caused him to be a criminal.
The staff burn Lester’s body on a trolley after that.
The Nine also watch the video.
John immediately calls Kara and tells her to destroy the key card before Derek arrives.
In return, John will promote her to a partner position.
Kara deals with such an opportunity.
Kara then throws the key card to her assistant and asks her to hide it somewhere safe.
At the penthouse, John snorts some cocaine while blaming the CDC for not sending a SWAT
team to protect The Nine.
The CDC officer refuses to his request, making John smash the screen.
John then rewards anyone who can turn Derek’s head in for $450.000.
A moment later, Melanie and Derek enter Kara’s office, who are already waiting for Derek
with some of her staff.
The two groups start to fight fiercely with their weapons.
Melanie attacks the female staff with her axe while Derek uses a fire-extinguisher to
assault the male ones.
The winning two meet Kara after that.
The assistant then comes in and throws a burnt key card on the table.
Kara gets mad at her for destroying the card instead of hiding it away.
It turns out John has sold Kara and promised to promote the assistant if she destroys the
key.
The two women rush to each other.
Derek then video calls to John, showing Kara’s corpe on the table and the assistant’s tounge.
Later, Derek finds a loophole to help Melanie’s legal case.
He tells Melanie to get the boards’ signatures and her case will be at ease.
Derek also apologizes to Melanie for not helping her.
John calls up and shows Derek his peeing on Ewan’s body.
This causes Derek the utmost pain.
The two then make love as the effects of the virus.
To reach the penthouse, Derek meets Ray, the building IT, making him hack into Irene's
laptop and get a copy of her hardware, which values millions of dollars.
Ray lures Irene to extract a folder he’s sent, successfully hacking into her laptop.
Derek then calls Irene, threatening to sell all of her hardware unless she gets it back
by herself.
Derek lets Irene decide where she wants to get her files.
After talking to John, Irene with an armed Bull rush to see Derek.
In the meeting room, Derek sets up an exchange with Irene.
Melanie wants Irene to sign on her papers first.
However, Irene throws her papers back, provoking Melanie to destroy the hacked hardware.
The Bull guy enters and attacks Derek while Irene and Melanie are in a fight.
The Bull is killed soon with a screwdriver.
Irene sets up a deal with Derek: give Melanie to her and she will tell Derek the passcode
to reach the penthouse.
Derek accepts, selling Melanie by restraining her in a chair.
It turns out Derek has tricked Irene by showing her the chair’s screws.
Melanie can escape and kill Irene easily with a hammer.
At the penthouse, John and The Nine welcome Derek with some champagne and a partnership
contract.
Derek denies all the great deals offered.
A moment later, John and Derek join in a battle.
There is only one minute left before the lockdown relief.
The Nine rushes Derek to kill John, so Derek punches him off the building.
Derek then explains his situation to the board, eventually earning himself a partnership contract
and becoming the next CEO of TSC.
Melanie’s contract is also signed up for extension.
The two walk out of the building just as the lockdown is lifted.
