A group of people awaken to find themselves prisoners in a mysterious house with no means of escape. They are each outfitted with electronic devices attached to the base of their skulls. The chemicals that the brain produces when in pain are collected by the devices, and when it collects a predetermined amount, the doors will be opened. In order to escape, they must hurt themselves and each other.

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.

A group of friends stop to pick up a hitchhiking woman only to end up getting drugged by her with a gas. They awaken to find that vials have been implanted in the base of their skulls - which are, of course, instantly fatal if they are removed.A film where people are forced to torture each other? With the dubious reason that brain chemicals are being collected? While there is some cleverness to this latter part, the former boils down to yet another title in the never-ending "torture porn" subgenre of horror. And no one wants that. Of course, viewers should not be surprised when the cover is a pliers holding a tooth.If there is one redeeming thing about this film, it is the inclusion of Maynard James Keenan as Special Agent Ford. But, to be fair, the torture aspects are stronger in the first half and there is some attempt to bring out the humanity in these folks. Does that make this is a good movie? No. But it could be a lot worse.

one of the worst movies that I have ever seen, The acting was horrible, the sound in the movies was sh*t I couldn't understand half of it and the plot line was less than garbage.... The torture scenes weren't that bad only most of the time very ridiculous, I don't think anyone ever would get scared from this movie (maybe 8 year old). There are no actual scary parts only a few ''gross'' parts and those ''gross'' parts aren't even that gross. The acting sometimes was very funny I have to give credit for that, especially one of the blond chicks (don't know who is who) her acting was certainly the worst. the Asian girl, she screams really funny. The kinda hippie guy who is just a total *beep* character And the Token Black guy who almost acted like Mac from It's always sunny, in the episode where he plays Roger Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon "

It was more torture sitting through this movie than actually being in the house itself. The movie starts off with decent character development and promising cinematography that makes the viewer believe they're about to get their moneys worth. It quickly takes a 180 into terrible-ville when they're ambushed by the most unlikely of attackers... A slutty cougar in stilettos creeping around at 1 am asking people for rides. Being the poor suckers that they are, this band of genius' give her a ride and thus starts the worst horror movie ever made. Saying that this was a torture porn would be giving it far too much credit. The torture scenes were short and ill conceived. You can not even put this movie in the same category as Saw or Hostile. The most graphic scene was the movie poster, and that's doing it too much justice. Albeit, the concept was original and had promise: 8 individuals trapped in a house and they're only way to escape is to beat on each other. The story did not follow through with the psychological thriller theme, and there was very little character development past the first 5 minutes, so you really don't care which one of these character's die.In short... there's really no reason to pay money to watch this film. And in fact no reason for me to finish writing this review on a movie that apparently the writer's phoned in.
