And is the actor less angry now as a result of making the film?

Yes, he says.

The fates allow him to explore that in a very aggressive way.

You have a lot of scenes with Samara Weaving, who plays another aggrieved character.

What was it like filming with her?Shes so great and so game.

So, I feel like everybody was just really in on doing the best work that we could.

Tell me about working with Joe Lynch.Joe is fantastic.

Hes really passionate about his work, hes really serious about his work.

I think hes a really great in general.

I just wish someone would give him more money.

He also turns up in the film as a deranged IT expert.

What was it like acting opposite him?It was really fun.

I think thats part of the feel of the group dynamic of what we made.

We really did make this on a shoestring budget.

[Laughs] Those are the moments when Joe was really great at listening.

I think these days, its hard to admit that, which isstupid.

Its almost impossible to watchanythingthese days without thinking about our current political situation.

Mayhemis released in theaters and on VOD and Digital HD, Nov. 10.
