Melanie Cross (Samara Weaving) is a character in Mayhem, a movie that blends horror, comedy, action, and commentary on corporate evil. She is a client of Towers and Smythe Consulting who pleads for more time on a loan. Their lawyer, Derek Cho, turns her away and calls security on her. When the ID-7 virus spreads through the office, Derek and Melanie end up locked away together as a result of resisting security. They fight, but eventually they decide to work together to hold the higher ups responsible. Melanie’s choice of weapons are a hammer, power saw, and a nail gun, as pictured here. When the virus erases her inhibitions, she uses the rejection to fuel her vengeful killing spree.

Derek Cho (Steven Yeun) is the main character in Mayhem, a movie that blends horror, comedy, action, and commentary on corporate evil. He informs the audience about the ID-7 “Red Eye” virus, which removes all inhibition and moral integrity. In his role as a lawyer at Towers and Smythe Consulting, he found a loophole that won the case of an infected murderer. As he climbed the corporate rankings, Derek began to lose his sympathy, such as turning down Melanie’s plea for loan assistance. But then when a coworker betrays him, he sees the company’s true colors. Refusing to take the blame, Derek gets escorted out by security, where he meets Melanie. Together they work to take down the top bosses through very bloody means.
