Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
Holy Crap，应该是新冠主题最政治不正确的邪典片了吧！
血浆都不会撒，看得出在jump scare这块儿是有想法的，但是成品真的很烂。吓人没觉得，倒是被气笑了😅有几个镜头还不错，但也就是“还不错”了。可能是我太低级欣赏不来这种“先锋”、“实验”作品吧。
没有身份的偷渡打工人真是太悲催了吧………全程都比较一般，最后的伤脚突然神奇恢复了，反倒是真正的亮点吧～～～
真没想到口碑这么分裂，我是真的蛮喜欢这部电影的，恐怖又搞笑。
20211002周六 16:25 来追寻美梦的，却堕入噩梦里圈套，以为女主是个善良而被同情的角色，谁知她为了自由而弑母来感动了恶魔体，让她继承了这走不出盒子里的美国梦，啊！多么惨痛的代价！怪物好诡好看！
晃得太厉害了看得我晕车，但我喜欢里面讽刺的部分。

失去人性才能活下去？（女主时来之前杀了母亲还是来之后在幻境杀了怪化的母亲？由你们自己界定。）
三分，一分给片头，一分给彩蛋，一分给游乐园那段，不能再多了。故事性本就不强，还要拍的那么散。。。实在没意思。
女主每分每秒都在口吐芬芳 极致川粉的确又失智又好笑 去掉一星的原因是实在是太太太晃了 伪纪录片看的也不少了这部是最晃没有之一
传统老配方了 讽刺是讽刺了 但恐怖的方式还是跟之前的解除好友系列大差不差 图一乐一般般吧
全视之眼，倒十字架，嗜血，恶魔形象，反人类行为，污秽的物体和语言
女主角讨人厌得挺可爱，不用带着巨大预设去看，其实也就是年轻版karen，长得甚至还蛮可爱的
搞个幺蛾子哦，剧情前面都是很平常的吓法没有惊喜 后面有自己的故事却讲了个寂寞 好好说说怪物的来源更有看头
may Trump bless u！
丧尸，怪物，邪教，运输任务，废弃游乐园，夜环境高原野地丛林，逃生，多环境剧情，搏斗打戏一样不缺。就是镜头太晃了。其他都挺好的哈。值得一看
前面气氛铺垫、人物形象都塑造得很好啊，好好的恐怖片，怎么后面画风突变暴力血腥杀杀杀了…看得我目瞪口呆的…
1.剧情大杂烩，吸血鬼、邪教、怪物一通乱炖，没有任何前因后果的交代；
以低成本的电影来说，这部真的不差，故事也很好
luke不要给我谢谢
