Vile

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 instantly fatal if they are removed. A professional looking woman informs them on TV screens that they have 22 hours to fill these vials with, a brain fluid that is produced during times of extreme pain. Along with another group of unlucky test subjects and with time ticking away they decide to work together and share the burden of reaching their painful target. Pain is the new terror-hit, which can easy keep up with genre hits like Saw. The film raises the question of how much pain a person can endure in order to save his own life. In his directorial debut, Director Taylor Sheridan precisely analyses the behaviour of people in extreme situations. He leads the viewer into the deepest depths of the human soul, where the morals and ethics are the subject to their own survival. (Gryphon Entertainment)
