So, 'Mayhem' from 1986 is an odd duck. It's got this gritty, low-budget vibe that really adds to its charm. The practical effects are a highlight; they lean heavily into the raw, which you don’t often see today. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it works for the story it’s trying to tell. There’s a certain rawness to the performances that makes it feel authentic, though I can't say it’s for everyone. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and it’s clear they were just having fun pushing boundaries a bit. It’s not your typical slasher; there’s something uniquely unsettling about it that sticks with you. Definitely worth a watch for those who appreciate the quirks of '80s horror cinema.
