ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Zebb67 Now that the Torture Porn genre has fizzled out at the box office, these films are fortunately going straight to video where they belong. This one has an absurd plot (torturing people to obtain a body chemical that is also released during sex - that might have been an interesting film and certainly more humane!), unsympathetic characters and terrible dialogue. At least a good half hour of the characters screaming at each other goes by before they start beating each other's brains in. I only watched it because it was on Netflix Streaming, where a lot of terrible, direct-to-video horror movies go to die. Only if you really miss the Saw films will you possibly find something to enjoy in this mess.

Brad Greer The actors did a great job....which saved this movie from being a total waste.. I rated it so low...because I was excited to get to see Maynard James Keenan as an actor. I like the band Tool, and much of his other work. Unfortunately, he was so well hid in this movie...he either was not in it...or I just couldn't tell where he was. He was supposed to play special agent "so and so" (not sure about the name.) I did not see him. Maybe I missed him? I saw it on Chiller network...so maybe they cut that part?Otherwise the movie was OK. ...but I almost felt like it was false advertising. Where is Maynard for crying out loud?

Tony Haenelt-Pearson 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.

nightwatch4773 I am usually a cheerleader for this kind of film. I mean it bloody pom poms and all when it comes to torture porn but unfortunately this film was a complete flop. My main issue with Vile is that the actors reactions to the torture that was about to explode just didn't match the carnage and the pain they should really be feeling. I mean come on some of the acting was so bad, the dialogue so risible and some of the most inane decisions being made sink this film faster than the titanic. In fact very rarely do I turn a film off and this one I did at the one hour mark. Please avoid this film unless your into bad actors getting killed in horrific ways under a cheap hostel type vibe.
