Synopsis

The Machinist (2004) is Brad Anderson's psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Trevor Reznik hasn't slept in a year. His body has wasted down to bone, and reality keeps slipping into nightmare.

Trevor runs a lathe in a machine shop, but his coworkers start to avoid him after his distraction causes a brutal accident on the floor. A stranger named Ivan haunts the plant — a man nobody else seems able to see. At home, Trevor clings to two people: a tired airport-diner waitress and a hooker named Stevie who takes him as he is. Then sticky notes shaped like a game of hangman appear on his fridge. The longer it goes, the harder it gets to tell a hallucination from a clue.

Christian Bale dropped nearly 60 pounds for the lead, one of the most extreme physical transformations ever put on film. Shot in Spain in a cold, bleached palette, the movie guards a single secret right up to its final scene. Stream The Machinist (2004) online on iFILM.
