Vile (2012)

Touches You

A different way of telling a story

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

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 "

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.

So I almost turned it off when the girls decided to break a plate and cut a finger to write numbers in blood of whom would go 1st, 2nd...etc. Really? No better way to decide turns? Draw straws perhaps? In the very same scene there was a dish strainer whose plastic construction almost resembled straws and the group obviously had tools to cut things. It's almost as if that was put in the scene to say, "see how purposely stupid this movie is?" That being said, I continued to watch if for no other reason than to see how it turned out. I can't say I was 100% dissatisfied with it, hence the "2" rating, however, I also can't say I wouldn't pull out a fingernail if forced to watch it again! :-)

Okay, I tried to like this. I really did. When the synopsis is to inflict pain on someone to gather the "chemicals" in the brain, you would think that the people could think of creative ways to cause pain without breaking a leg, or disfiguring yourself via burning. I mean come on, really? Getting your fingernail ripped off hurts incredibly bad, and they do this to give them the extra "pain boost", so why not do that only? You have 20 of them for pete's sake, and they grow back! I felt sad watching this, as the bad person gathering these people must have chosen from a group of people that rode the short bus to school and only for getting off on watching them hurt each other. Yet at no time was any of that mentioned, just camera's to make sure they do what they are supposed to do. Dreadful acting, pathetic attempts at hysterics, just plain awful. If you see this on Netflix just ignore it. You'll wish you had...
