Vile to Show at 2011's Film 4 Frightfest August 26th

Sci-fi review and news site Quiet Earth has debuted the official trailer for Vile, which will show at the Film 4 Frightfest in London, England. Vile is partially based on the Milgram experiments, in which participants were encouraged to shock another volunteer (actually a confederate). Some people, when told to, will shock others to death. Thankfully, this experiment was only a simulation, but the trailer for Vile shows realistically that most of humanity will do almost anything to another e.g. torture, if instructed by a higher authority.

Vile will show at Film 4 Frightfest August 26th, 2011 and the trailer for director Taylor Sheridan's first film shocks below.

The synopsis for Vile is here:

"Fifty years ago Yale University professor Stanley Milgram held a series of social experiments based on Nazi war criminals’ psychology. They were devised to answer a simple question; how far are people willing to go when instructed by authority?

Nick, his girlfriend Tayler and their two best friends are about to find out. Abducted after a camping trip, they wake up in an unknown prison with two vials wired into the base of their skulls. They are not alone: another four people are in the same nightmare predicament. Their task, set by a mysterious video figure, is to fill the vials with chemicals the brain produces under extreme pain. Who will become leader of the pack and who will be first to suffer the excruciating agonies they must devise themselves within the 22-hour time limit?" (Quiet Earth).

Release Date: August 26th, 2011 (Limited Release).

Director: Taylor Sheridan.
