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.
只能说明院线电影太乱糟糟了，精品太少，大制作一半经费都喂了狗！
全程摆着做听力的架势看完了电影，不知道是不是因为这个我才没能欣赏到这部电影的好来。整部电影故弄玄虚，净是意识流镜头堆砌。电影剪进去的镜头谨遵原著几乎完全没有改动，但又删去了很多原著里很细腻的心理描写或者是人物性格的形成起因结果。本来就是童年和重逢后的场景穿插着叙事这样容易叫人混乱的方式，再加上大量的删减和让人摸不着头脑的阴暗文艺意识流镜头，整部电影显得非常老太婆裹脚布，又割裂混乱。所以果然是文艺片吗？哈哈哈。不过丝丝真的进步又大了，开心。
偶尔从哪看到说模仿了《罗生门》的故事，有兴趣找来看，没想到超出了预期，故事情节、烘托的氛围、对人性的批判都有眼有板，群众演员也很融合，导演是用了心的，节奏紧凑，引人入胜，片尾的彩蛋让影片有了回味。不错。支持一下。
无论再说多少遍，世俗的眼光与看法都是正确的，绝对正确
7.7，网大现在都这个水准了？单说这个电影最好的一点就是节奏感奇佳，每个点推进得都恰到好处，光这一点很多院线电影做得都不咋地
没看过原著，在不知因果的情况下，本应该抽丝剥茧呈现的秘密感动，变成了明知你痛我痛他痛但却无法为他们的脆弱流泪
魑魅魍魉太多，酒色财气贪着，人心怎么挖都不过
居然把故事说的很有逻辑，现在网剧越来越好了
比如狐狸特效让我感觉在看《白蛇》电影里的小狐狸，萌得不行；还有中国版毒液的怪物特效；挺出戏的
当然看得漫长的两个半小时过程中有想过：阿文不用上班的吗？看到阿文事业爱情不错的时候，女主维系和男朋友正常生活不好吗？当然电影最后的结局女主和阿文还是挺he的。原著似乎描写的更细腻，当然电影几个专场情景描写也很不错，养眼的演员演技当然非常OK。改天一定拜读书本，另，作家另外的作品我也很好奇。
看了一些讨论 原来男主是一个x功能没有完全发展似乎无x恋的人 有点理解他了
四星鼓励，拍的很用心。借用罗生门的框架，讲了个新时代妖魔鬼怪故事。
高分是给它的用心，网大拍成这样还要什么自行车？
借着民俗的外衣，讲了一个复仇的故事，有时候慈悲和善意反而得不到好的结果，别有用心之人插入，想要夺取财宝，结果计划半途出了岔子，只好假借神鬼之说以掩盖所谓的事实，不过善恶终有报，天道好轮回，故事讲得还行，在网大中也算是比较好的一部了。
远超预期，纯粹是随机点开，向来对网大也没什么期待，尤其是女鬼题材，简直是一扑一个准，但本片看完竟然还挺惊喜，在当前环境下做到如此程度，故事逻辑、情节铺陈严丝合缝，还是有两下子的
6.5_山村狐妻 The Wicked Wife (2022)，氛围不错，特效可以，故事挺有意思也能自圆其说，寓意也比较深刻，尤其警察杀戏子是说的那一句，“戏子无义” ，如果不是为了广电的审查跟要求应该拍得更精彩最后落入俗套，最后一幕谢景跟他老婆露脸，有点像那女的为眼袋那么大
据说口碑不错就来看看，毕竟网大电影，不该要求过高，但不得不说这种电影真没意思。把一些耳熟能详的故事整合，编成看似故事完整又有教育意义的电影，只适合小孩子看。探索恐怖电影在我国的可能性是值得表扬的，但这部显然已经偏离了恐怖的范围，可能委曲求全，或剧本本来就没单薄，发展和结局都甚是平庸无聊。
只能说明院线电影太乱糟糟了，精品太少，大制作一半经费都喂了狗！
我以为是鬼片，结果是“鬼片”，我以为鬼最后才变成“鬼”，结果半小时就变“鬼”
不错的片子，借妖讽人，一个罗生门，道尽人性的黑暗，世间鬼怪，都不及人内心的鬼怪邪恶
