The Kill Count video discusses the 2017 film Mayhem, a horror movie directed by Joe Lynch and starring Steven Yeun and Samara Weaving. The movie takes place in an office high-rise where a virus known as the "Red Eye" or ID-7 virus has broken out, causing people to lose their inhibitions and become violent.
The video's host, James A. Janisse, provides a brief background on the film and its director before diving into a detailed analysis of the movie's plot. The story follows Derek Cho (played by Steven Yeun), a lawyer who is infected with the virus and teams up with Melanie (played by Samara Weaving), a woman who is trying to reverse a foreclosure on her home.
As the movie progresses, Derek and Melanie fight their way through the office, taking down various corporate executives and security guards. Along the way, they encounter a range of colorful characters, including a head of HR known as "The Reaper" and a CEO known as "The Boss."
Throughout the video, Janisse provides a running commentary on the movie's kills, tallying up the number of deaths and providing humorous observations about the characters and their actions.
Ultimately, the video concludes with a final kill count of 21 deaths, with 14 male victims and 7 female victims. Janisse also awards a "Golden Chainsaw" for the coolest kill and a "Dull Machete" for the lamest kill.
The video ends with a wrap-up of the movie's plot and a recommendation to watch the film on Shudder, where it is currently available to stream.
