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.
James健身房出场慢镜头可以算得上今年观影经历中数一数二的性感镜头。电影本身并无太多亮点，轻松愉快搞笑有点尬。有Peter这样的家人真是很烦但也很暖心。Jennifer Coolidge还是老样子，很有个性地尬，但让人讨厌不起来。今年圣诞电影check。
多年不见Luke，已是肌肉猛男了！准备要一个人过圣诞的我，想起过去5年在前男友父母家过圣诞的种种。真是哭的稀里哗啦的。
为了温馨而温馨得太明显了哈哈，一家子说话的调就没下来过从见面的“omg”开始//lame的部分大家有目共睹所以我只想说，这样的友谊常年慢性催化最后孵化出爱情也是有的（参见plus one哈哈哈哈）但大部分不成立也许是因为,比如我和我的besties要么是性别不对要么对了但也菜不起来etc,but who cares anyway,it’s Christmas Edition,why don’t we shout out for this cute couple who is the living poof of love is mfking love,no top/btm difference involved!
因为苏菲的吐槽多给一星吧~
我猜圣诞期间看一部平淡不好不坏的平淡电影……也还行吧
这片子真的，再一次让人发出疑问，哪怕就算是以圣诞电影的标准来看这世界上怎么还能有这么干巴巴的电影。你这人物的戏剧动力到底是什么啊？？？
破产女孩里最喜欢的俄罗斯大熊阿姨居然有客串，很惊喜。滑雪教练很帅，脸好看，身材勇猛。不过剧情过份老套了。
和Karmobei一起在圣诞夜看的
2.5 故事线简单清新 但确实蛮无聊 打发时间可以看 主配角的颜值倒是很在线
合家欢电影，只是主角是🏳️🌈男主很好看，家庭很和睦，还有大爱的苏菲👨❤️👨
很甜但是很扯，做朋友那么多年，突然在一起……emmm有点不适
Romcom这种电影为什么考虑剧情，看个开心就好了嘛. Nick真是好看😍

LGBTQ+向的圣诞合家欢，轻松幽默就够了。Hello everyone, Goodbye everyone. 苏菲的戏路大概一辈子就这样了…
虽然剧情走向从两男主一亮相，就猜出个七七八八，也并没影响到继续看完整个故事的热情。3个男生都是好菜，各有各的香，Peter的家庭组成也符合圣诞节的标准配置。环节上没有多余，没有不够，传统的西方节日里，套着不传统的GAY版爱情，欢乐带来的感染力完全不受性别取向拘泥。
7.5 老套的故事内心，但还是看的感动。前半段很好，后半段有点垮，以及，这样的家庭氛围好棒。轻轻松松的圣诞片
没想到一部集圣诞节（本该欢乐），同志（足够可），爱情（无论nick还是james，盲选都可以），家庭（peace到爆的家人）于一体的电影，居然难看到这种地步~~
一部适合圣诞节观看的爱情电影，温馨舒适，非常喜欢这一大家子友爱互助的氛围
luck macfarlane太辣，剧情俗，演员浮夸
友情？爱情！不要拿一段感情去试验另一段感情。为什么两个好朋友在一起了那么多年，一个圣诞节🎄就发展成了爱情呢？男配看男主的眼神都透露着爱，但这种眼神在男主身上没有。影片抛出了那个问题但是却没给答案：如果两个好朋友试着谈恋爱，不成功怎么办？
