Frightfest 2017 Interview: Joe Lynch talks ‘Mayhem’
We’re coming to the end of this years exhaustive Frightfest 2017 interviews as our host Stuart Wright talks to director Joe Lynch about his latest film Mayhem, which has its European Premiere at Frightfest on Sunday 27th August.
Lawyer Derek Cho is a driven employee at Towers & Smythe Consulting. He’s worked his way up the corporate ladder, but suddenly finds himself without a job after being stabbed in the back by a colleague. Enraged, Derek marches to his boss’ office – just as ID7, a virus causing the infected to lose their inhibitions, starts spreading through the entire building. Doors are locked, the government shows up and an 8-hour countdown begins until the viral contagion subsides. Time for Derek to finally get some real work done battling his way to the executive level before time runs out.
The Horror Channel Frightfest takes place August 24th – 28th 2017 at both the Empire Cinema and Prince Charles Cinema in London’s Leicester Square.
