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.

Munger Road Movie Review

Munger Road

                                                    

Munger Road is a horror thriller movie released in 2011. This movie is based on the local myths and the urban legends of Munger Road, which is located in Bartlett, Illinois. The film Munger Road is written and directed by Nicholas Smith and starred by Bruce Davison, Randall Batinkoff, Trevor Morgan, Brooke Peoples, Hallock Beals and Lauren Storm.

The movie Munger Road tells the story of four teens who have some strange experiences at an empty road. At the same time, the local police learn that, a serial killer has escaped from the prison and he is heading to that empty road. The police follow the leads and it brings them where those four teens are.  

A Scene from the movie Munger Road

Plot:

Four teens (two couples) start for an adventure where they want to see and record the paranormal activities of Munger Road. Legend has it, if they put their car in neutral gear and then stop it on the rail crossing, some ghost kids will push the car to safety. Although the girlfriends are not interested about it at all, their boyfriends are over excited to record this thing. They go to that spot and put some powder on their car’s bumper and then wait in the car. Their car really gets pushed by someone or something and they find prints of someone’s hand on the powder of the bumper.

At the same time, the sheriff of their town gets the information that a serial killer has escaped from the prison, who is responsible for the killings of several teens near the Munger Road. The next day is the day of a local festival and a lot of people are coming to this town for that, so the sheriff and the mayor get really serious to catch the killer. The sheriff, along with his deputy, goes to the killer’s previous home, where someone hits the deputy in his head in the dark and escapes. Then they start to look for the killer in all possible hiding places. They also find an abandoned car in the town.

Meanwhile, the teens in the Munger Road start their journey back. On the way, suddenly their car stops and they can’t start it again. It is an empty place with no houses or passing cars nearby and with no signals in their cell phones, so at first, they plan to stay in the car till the dawn. But later, they change plan and a boy goes out searching for help. In the car the others get scared when he does not come back in few hours. Suddenly, two of them get sms from that boy, where one of the sms urges them to run away from the car. The boy in the car checks the recording in his camera and finds another man’s presence near their car. Then the girlfriend of the boy who left earlier, leaves the car to seek help. Only two were in car and soon, someone comes to the car. The boy manages to run away before that person attacks but the girl’s fate is not shown. He again comes to the car to look for her girlfriend and then gets attacked by that person.

In the town, the sheriff and his deputy look for the killer at an underground tunnel which runs to a cabin near the Munger Road. At one point, they get separated and the deputy finds the remains of the body of that killer’s victim. The sheriff heads for the cabin in his car. The girl, who left the car second, reaches the cabin and gets attacked by someone. She manages to escape and finds her boyfriend hiding there. The mysterious person again catches them but finally, leaves the girl unharmed. Then the sheriff reaches the cabin, finding no bodies near the car or at the cabin, except the living girl. Then the sheriff learns a very strange information about the killer, which changes the whole scenario.

My review about Munger Road:

I don’t want to draw conclusion fast about Munger Road.

The plot of Munger Road is good and thrilling, except the ending. Everything was going fine throughout the movie and near the end, it may really make you thrilled, until at the very end, you will find the movie Munger Road is incomplete, as it ends abruptly  with showing ‘to be continued’. It felt very odd without any indication ago in the poster or throughout the movie. Regular viewers like us have every right to feel cheated by the way it ends.

To talk about the other aspects, the acting and the dialogues of Munger Road were actually good. The tension of this thriller movie keeps on building slowly and the director has succeed to keep us wondering about what is happening out there, without knowing exactly what to expect. Several times, it felt like its going to be a horror movie. In the middle of the movie, I was wondering why I haven’t heard about Munger Road earlier, as it seemed to be a pretty good one. Then I realized, it’s the ending which has taken all the credit away from this one.

The screenplay of Munger Road was also good. Two completely different stories, the story of the teens and the story of the sheriff, went parallel and converged beautifully at the cabin near the end.

But still, there were some plot-holes, which the director could avoid to improve the quality of the Munger Road. For example, if the prank about the ghost was played by the boys, then who pushed their car? How did they get the sms where there was no network? We saw the killer attacked a boy near the car, but how come the sheriff didn’t find any sign when he went there? And how come, two persons sitting in a silent car, can’t hear when their car’s trunk is being opened?

There are no adult scenes in Munger Road, so you can safely watch it with kids.

So, overall, I liked almost everything about Munger Road except the ending. Moreover, by searching on internet, I could not see any possibility of part 2 till when I’m writing this review. So I don’t know what the director is trying to do with this movie. And at the end, the ‘to be continued’ did not give me a good feeling. I will not recommend Munger Road to anyone, at least until I see any possibility of its second part.

Anyway, you may find some interesting facts about the myths of the actual Munger Road by searching over internet.

1000 Times More Brutal Movie Review

1000 Times More Brutal

                                                     

1000 Times More Brutal is an American crime action thriller movie released in 2012. This film is produced, written and directed by Kamal Ahemd. The main characters of this movie are played by David Dastmalchian, Natalie Allen, Anthony Aveni, Rosario Aveni, Angelo Bonsignore, Peter Greene and Mark Love.

1000 Times More Brutal tells the story of a man and his friends who rob a mobster to take revenge. But after three years, when the mobster finds out who had robbed him and attach them back, they realize that all of their lives are now in danger.

A Scene from the movie1000 Times More Brutal

Plot: 
1000 Times More Brutal is about a man (named Antonio) and his three friends. At the beginning of the movie, we see one friend of Antonio gets kidnapped. While Antonio is enjoying with his two other friends at a bar, a man gives them a VCD, which, when played, shows how the kidnapped friend has been tortured and murdered.

Antonio knows that the other three of them are also in danger. So, by using his late uncle's reputations, he asks for help to a mobster. When the mobster asks him in details about what actually happened, we see how Antonio and his friends have fallen in this life threatening situation .

Three years ago, when the four of them were going somewhere one night, a car blocked their way in a cross section, even when the signal was green. They started shouting but unfortunately, that car belonged to some local gangster. The team of that gangster came out of the car and beat Antonio and his friends severely.

Few months later from then, one of Antonio's friends found the gangster and his working place. They planned to rob that gangster to get their revenge. They planned the whole thing and examined all their possibilities. They spent enough time for taking their preparations and finally, robbed the gangster. After the robbing, they went to some place far away and enjoyed with their money. At one time there, four of them dropped a few drops of blood on a bill and kept that as a symbol of their bond.

Now after all these times, the gangster is attacking Antonio's group. After listening everything, the mobster (whom Antonio called) agrees to set up a meeting between Antonio and the furious gangster. When Antonio tells his other two friends about it, they become furious at first, but then agree to Antonio. His wife also gives him her support.

At the scheduled time, Antonio meets the gangster in presence of his guardian mobster. The gangster demands his money back. But its not possible for Antonio to get all these money back that he has spent already. Finally, the only solution that gets agreed by both is, Antonio will help the gangster to collect an amount of pending money from a party.

So, Antonio, along with his two friends, head to that place to collect the money. But everything doesn't go according to their plans.

My review about 1000 Times More Brutal:

First of all, I didn't like this movie at all.

The plot was okay. The ending seemed shocking and unexpected, but overall, the whole story of 1000 Times More Brutal looked realistic.

The weakest points of 1000 Times More Brutal are poor acting and bad screenplay. The director had the chance to make a better movie then this based on the same plot, but has failed completely. The bad direction and bad acting has ruined the whole movie. Specially, the acting of the leading character Antonio were the poorest of them all, followed by his friends. The acting of the villain characters of 1000 Times More Brutal were comparatively better.

The dialogues were also poor in 1000 Times More Brutal, had nothing to interest anyone at all. Dialogues are very important for gangster movies like this, but the director has also failed to realize their importance.

How their identities were revealed to the gangster seemed completely unrealistic. The director has also wasted enough time in 1000 Times More Brutal to show some unnecessary scenes, which didn't have much effect on the main plot.  

The screenplay were also poor, as I said earlier. Even with a plot like this, 1000 Times More Brutal will completely fail to keep you interested.

For the language, violence and nude scenes, this movie is not for kids.

So, overall, I didn't enjoy 1000 Times More Brutal at all. After watching this movie, I felt like I've wasted my time. I will not recommend watching 1000 Times More Brutal to anyone.
