The Mill

The Mill (2023) — watch online on iFILM — is an American sci-fi thriller directed by Sean King O'Grady, starring Lil Rel Howery. Office worker Joe wakes up in an open-air concrete cell with an ancient grist mill at its center. No memory of how he got there.

The rules arrive quickly: work the mill, stay alive. A disembodied electronic voice delivers daily productivity targets. At night, screams drift over the walls. Pat Healy appears as a neighbor in captivity — the closest thing to answers Joe can find. His wife is about to have a baby, which turns escape from a vague idea into something that can't wait. The film runs corporate efficiency language as the operating logic of a prison, and the metaphor is pointed enough to sting. Stream The Mill online on iFILM.
