Plot:

At the beginning of the movie Vile, we see a man is being tortured and something was going on with some chemicals.

Then the original plot begins with two couples, who are all friends, just finishing their camp outside the city. They are about to start for their home, when one girl gives some drugs to the other girl for safekeeping. On their way to home, they stop at a fuel station for refilling, when a lady comes to them asking for a lift. They agree and the lady gets on their car. The lady claims herself to be a perfume expert. When they reach to that lady’s car, she insists everyone to have some of her perfume’s samples. She goes to her car to bring the samples but instead, comes back wearing a gas mask and puts everyone in the car in sleep by spraying a gas.

The two couples wake up in a strange room and find four more people in the room. Suddenly, one of the other four people comes and breaks the finger of one of the girls. They all become furious and start a fight. But, soon both of the parties calm down and then see the video that the others are talking about.

In that strange cabin, there is a T.V.  and the recording of a women plays on that T.V. that tells them what is happening here. The woman tells that they are from a pharmaceutical company and they want to take some special chemicals which are produced by human brain only when people are in extreme pain, stress or trauma. Each of them has a small jar attached on their back, which is connected to their brain. They have to torture each other so that, those chemicals are produced and filled to a specific quantity. When the bar reaches 100%, the doors will open and they can all get out of this cabin.

The 8 of them gets divided into different opinions. Some of them believe the video tape, others don’t. But none of them can find a way out of that cabin. One of them doesn’t believe this at all and pulls the cords from his neck, and dies instantly. The others get scared and decide to follow what the lady has said. At first, together they torture one of them to fill his part of the bar, which, finally, brakes his leg. Then they have a lottery to decide who’s next and follow the serial.

They keep on torturing each of them by turn to fill the bar. The girlfriend, who has the drugs, gives one to her boyfriend so ease his pain, but instead he has to endure more pain to fill his part. A girl from the two couples is pregnant, so her boyfriend and the other 2 friends endure the torture for her.

Enduring all the pains, finally they all manages to fill the bar and starts to go out of the cabin one by one. But things don’t go smooth, one of them gets trapped again, who, to survive, has to do it all again completely by herself. The others who escape also find that the lady on the video was not honest about the getting out part of the plan and the plan seemed different from what she mentioned earlier. They also find a rat among them.

My review about the movie Vile:

First of all, Vile is a very disturbing movie. And by referring disturbing, I mean most of us will not enjoy watching this movie at all.

The one of the very few good things about Vile is its plot. The plot is exciting and innovative. A very good thriller movie can be made with the same plot. The ending was also interesting.

The acting and the screenplay in Vile were not as bad as they were expected to be. The dialogues were poor. The make ups were good.

The set design of Vile is very poor. The glass windows are visible several times in the whole movie which could easily be broken. And it is not believable how 7 persons cannot get out of wooden cabin who were provided all the equipment like gas, fire, axe, screw-driver, knife and so on.

The whole movie Vile is full of tortures and most of the scenes were graphic. All these torture scenes should seem pointless to anyone other than the hardcore fan of this genre.

Although there is no nudity in it, but it is easily understandable that Vile is not for children.  

So, finally, there is nothing to enjoy in the movie Vile and I felt like I’ve wasted my time watching it. I obviously, will not recommend watching Vile to anyone.
