At the center of the film is Amani (Mohammad), a devoted wife and mother whose seemingly stable family life is shattered when her husband returns home with a second wife, Zahra (Taibah), who is pregnant with his first son. Determined to remain in the home and protect her daughter Noor, Amani fights to preserve her place within the family as increasingly disturbing events begin to take hold. As the line between psychological torment and supernatural threat starts to blur, Amani becomes convinced that Zahra is hiding something sinister — and her search for the truth threatens to consume her.

This is reportedly the first Arabic-language feature produced under the partnership between Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios.
This is an Arabic supernatural horror movie that's said to blend "intimate family drama with supernatural horror, THE VILE explores betrayal, trauma, motherhood and the shifting balance of power inside the home through a distinctly Gulf perspective."
