Mayhem is primarily an action-horror film with a focus on chaos, violence, and survival. The characters are chosen for their roles in the narrative rather than being defined by identity markers. There’s little evidence of forced representation or character shields based on modern identity politics, making the story feel more organic and free from ideological interference.

The film doesn’t overtly undermine religion, family, or traditional values, nor does it go out of its way to prop up or mock gender roles. Masculinity is present, and there’s no glaring attempt at cultural revisionism. However, the film’s chaotic tone and disregard for moral order could be seen as lightly poking at traditional structures.

Most characters are primarily focused on survival, not ideology. Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked, and there’s a lack of overt soapboxing for any particular worldview. There’s no clear agenda being pushed, and while it is a wild ride, it never feels like a commercial for modern ideological talking points.
