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.
严格意义上算是我看过的第一部伪纪录片，看看觉得好玩就算了，毕竟它本来也没打算认真。
好想看清楚这个怪物哪怕一秒。主角设定有点加分
圣诞季电影又可以多一部了，Luke是很帅，但是我觉得Nike的纹身更棒🤣 @2022-02-12 18:53:22
噱头都在结尾那个怪物的造型上，其他步调庸常，还有值得称道的地方可能就是女主的反杀，算是破了套路的做法。
点赞怪物造型！既然是改编自小说，打算去看看原著了，也许会有些隐喻？
话痨+疯癫+祸害遗千年的女主，扒哥是个好人
还以为只能祭祀女人呢，最后和大蛾子合作完后，也不展开聊世界观，也不填前面这些鬼魂的坑，整体还这么需要快进，算了吧
抖音上刷到了片段，赶紧找了看，结果发现，最精彩的已经在抖音里了…看得莫名其妙的，盒子里那只看起来厉害的昆虫怪物简直啥用没有，为什么兄弟俩总要用女人献祭？献祭有啥用？毕竟他俩还是穷成那样…女主为啥能看见一屋子鬼？
总之，垃圾电影，谁爱看谁看去
建议看网上的剪辑好的，毕竟高潮部分就一点点，而且还挺后面的
女主为什么喊救命，不喊报警，害死热心亲戚😂
难得没有宗教驱魔没有廉价jumpscare的鬼片 女主还是个懂得补刀的勇士 表扬
其实还是有点点意思，但是女主害人精真的看得气死，真想一枪崩了
只要精神够强大，作风够彪悍，鬼都怕你！剧情前半段比较压抑，阴暗的光效，无意中撞破的玄机，忽隐忽现的鬼影，还有女主的无助与狼狈，使整部影片充满浓浓的悬疑味。后半段，女主冲破了理智与情感的羁绊（亲情与理想？），开始反杀，终于拯救了自己。感觉有隐喻的电影比纯视觉惊吓型的有意思多了。

108/ 不懂就问 - 怪物为什么一定要蹲着马步用菊花吃饭啊 这样比较好消化吗？
真太晃了，剧情都看不到了，一整个不知所云，而且女主真的犯贱达人，非常想打她一拳。
整体不功不过，但是箱子里的怪物实在做的够诡丽是个大亮点。
平平淡淡，不恐怖。怪物真是无法言说的恶心，将近一千部恐怖片里这是最恶心的怪物没有之一。女主第一时间没把石头箱子砸了是全片最诡异的地方。
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…
