Watch Vile

Vile is a 2011 horror film, a low budget and independent production directed by Taylor Sheridan. The movie follows a group of young adults who are abducted and forced to participate in a sadistic game of pain and torture to harvest a mysterious fluid from their brains. The film stars Eric Jay Beck, April Matson, and Akeem Smith, and it also features Greg Cipes, Heidi Mueller, and Maya Hazen.

The movie opens with eight young adults who meet each other through a ridesharing platform as they are traveling towards different destinations. Their driver (played by Rob Kirkland) takes them on a detour and leaves them stranded in an abandoned cabin in the woods. Soon enough, they discover they are not alone in the cabin, as they find a man who has been trapped there for weeks. They try to escape, only to be caught by their captors and forced to play a sick game in which they need to generate a certain amount of pain in their bodies to produce a secretion of the brain fluid that their captors crave. If they fail to meet the quota, they will receive electric shocks and face even more gruesome punishments.

As the game progresses, tensions between the characters escalate, and they start to turn against each other. One character starts to lose their sanity, while others form alliances or attempt to make deals with their captors. Eventually, they start to unravel the mystery of their abductors and discover that the fluid they are harvesting is being used as a drug. The plot of the film builds towards its climactic end as the characters struggle to survive and find a way out of their nightmare.

Vile is a horror movie that brings the sadistic world of torture porn to new heights. It has a disturbing premise, with characters being forced to endure painful stimuli to produce a fluid that their captors crave. The concept is similar to the movie Saw, but with less of a plot twist and fewer elaborate traps. The film's focus is more on the physical pain that the characters are put through and the psychology of torture.

The characters in the film are all young and engaging but are also stereotypical in their portrayals. They are all there for a reason - a nerdy gamer, a former athlete, a party girl, and so on. However, their performances are solid enough to make the audience care about them and hope they survive the ordeal. Beck and Matson are the real standouts of the cast, as they carry the story on their shoulders and bring depth to their characters.

The film's low-budget nature is evident in its cinematography, the majority of which takes place in one set, the cabin. However, the filmmakers try to keep the audience's attention by introducing different angles, using handheld cameras, and utilizing different lighting techniques. The movie's color tone is muted and gloomy, adding to the already disturbing atmosphere. The sound design is also notable, with the use of music and sound effects heightening the movie's dread.

The plot of the movie is not one that requires much thought as it is more about the visceral experience. It keeps the audience entertained without making them think too much about what's going on. The movie does well in building suspense and conflict among the characters, but it does rely on plot convenience to move the story forward. Some of the twists feel rushed, and the ending might leave the audience wanting more.

Overall, Vile is an effective horror movie that will appeal to fans of the genre. It is a gruesome and disturbing journey that takes the audience to the darkest corners of human evil. The film is not for the faint-hearted as it features scenes of torture, gore, and violence. Those who are looking for a movie that makes them question morality might be disappointed with Vile. However, if you are in the mood for a simple and engaging gore-fest, the movie will undoubtedly deliver.

Vile is a 2012 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.9.
