Vile Blu-ray Review

Score: 49

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

Vile offers a Saw-like experience, though the Blu-ray's video is uneven and the audio disappointingly lossy.

Vile's Blu-ray video presentation is underwhelming, despite a 1080p AVC encoded transfer in 1.78:1 with a 4K DI; plagued by sub-par resolution, dull color correction, and flawed digital capture, it struggles with inadequate shadow delineation, sickly flesh-tones, macroblocking, and aliasing.

Audio: 70

The Blu-ray of "Vile" features audio options of 5.1 Dolby Digital and 2.0 LPCM, delivering a mix of intense sound effects and quasi-punk music, yet the reliance on lossy codecs results in less impactful audio clarity, with clean dialogue but occasional burial in softer moments, complemented by optional English subtitles.

Extra: 16

Vile's Blu-ray extras feature deleted scenes and trailers, showcasing Director Taylor Sheridan in action, with packaging that includes a reversible sleeve and slipcover, all presented region-free as part of MVD's Marquee Collection.

Movie: 41

Vile, Taylor Sheridan's indie endeavor, mirrors the torture-porn aesthetic of Saw and Hostel, depicting a predictable yet graphic scenario where strangers must inflict pain on each other to survive. Despite its derivative nature and unpolished elements, it delivers shocking twists and practical effects that engage fans of the genre.
