Watch Vile For Free

One of my all time favorites.

good back-story, and good acting

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Blistering performances.

A group of people are trapped in a derelict house and must inflict bodily harm on each other in order to escape. Where have we seen this kind of idea before? I don't like to critisise movies just for being a rip off of something else, but this had nothing going for it! The action just wasn't there. "I'm sorry I have to do this but please try and lay still while I burn your body with a hot iron." Just no! The piano music was just the wrong type of music for this kind of movie. We aren't supposed to be feeling sorry for the characters or thinking its tragic they are forced to harm each other.I am a fan of torture porn but this movie just had to many whiny characters for me to enjoy it, like the lame attempt by one of the woman to avoid pain by claiming she was pregnant.

I've watched a lot of horror movies in my life and Vile is by far one of my favorites. To be honest, the only downside to this movie is that the acting is a little bit mediocre. But aside from that, the characters are well-developed, original, and come from a diverse cast with refreshingly, no racial stereotyping. The reveal of Sam and the death of Tayler at the end is a twist I did not see coming and I'm usually pretty good at figuring out movie endings. The way some of the scenes are shot, the best way to describe it is "poetic." It's artistic and surprisingly gentle for what is essentially a torture porn horror film. As much as I love my Saw movies, Vile takes the cake. I hope that there is a sequel someday. I wonder what Nick did to the cougar woman, or if he became a part of the drug industry that was doing this to them. A sequel would be amazing.

This review contains spoiler, please don't read it before watching the movie.Another Saw-wannabe. The joke is, it could have been good. But it wasn't and the background story is to blame for that because it's just so utterly stupid. I almost decided to stop watching after 20 minutes, but now I don't regret that I didn't because the last like 20 minutes drew my rating up from a massive 0 to an almost decent 4 stars. In this 20-30 minutes there were true emotions, smartly controlled gore and an ending that was an age-old cliché but not the one I expected. However, despite of some flashes of a good horror in the end, the first 3/4 of the movie is just simply bad. Why? Let's see: A crazy doctor kidnaps people to extract chemicals from their brains that are only produced when the body experiences pain. These chemicals are collected in small vials attached to people's back through some mechanical device inserted to their brains. The ultimate goal is to produce some bad-ass drug of these chemicals. Why is it indescribably stupid? Well, I'm not a doctor, but inserting that stuff to their heads probably required some major kind of surgery, yet they are OK. When they start torturing each other, these substances start to be produced immediately in visible amounts and get collected in those vials and their amount is precisely monitored. Seriuosly? How? This is so impossible. A piece of advice: consult experts before start shooting a movie. It's okay if the thing is not entirely correct, but it's so evidently stupid for non-expert viewers too that it ruins the whole thing before it starts.And, if it wouldn't have been enough, people just jump so quickly to accept that there is no other way out. Well, a guy I've never seen before says we are perfectly sealed. Will I trust a stranger with all my heart and mind and not go check it myself? Unlikely. They have all sorts of stuff around, so spending some time trying to figure something out wouldn't have hurt. Some hesitation before starting to gladly torture each other would've been nice too. And don't try to convince me that beating a guy half dead and breaking many of their bones will provide just twice as much stuff than an iron burn and 2 fingernails ( I mean, let's skip the fact that this whole part is just stupid). And that a painkiller, no matter how strong it is, starts to work in 10 seconds. And so on.Bottom line: you can live without this.

The acting was not very good and parts of the interactions between the victims was a bit forced and unrealistic...but, I did keep my attention throughout. As far as realism, the actors didn't convey as much pain as they actually would have felt. If you have a fingernail ripped out like that, you are going to be writhing on the floor for a long time and the throbbing from your finger would render that hand useless and would render you unable to be able to focus on anything until the gruesome pain subsided. Which would take a long time. Most of them had multiple fingernails ripped out. Also, when the one guy has the pot of boiling water poured over his lower half...he would have been unable to do anything more...yet we see him in the next scene without any discernible evidence of pain. In fact, we see him walking around like nothing has happened to him. The realism needs a lot of work.
