Vile

Vile (2011) is an American horror film you can watch online on iFILM. Eight strangers come to inside a locked house, each with a small device fixed to the back of the skull and a single rule for staying alive.

Their captors are harvesting the chemical the brain releases under extreme pain. To fill the meter and unlock the doors, the prisoners have to hurt themselves and one another — or everyone dies. The clock is short, the trust between strangers shorter, and each of them works out fast how far they will go to save their own skin.

Here is the hook: the director is Taylor Sheridan, shooting this years before he made his name writing Sicario and Wind River and creating Yellowstone. Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan turns up in a small part. It is a grim, single-location pain piece aimed squarely at viewers who go looking for the rough stuff. Stream Vile (2011) online on iFILM.
