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.

绝对不要下跪，绝对不要后退，绝对要带着一起下地狱。
演员安排得政治正确到一点儿都不简•奥斯丁了。
里面各个都是超人，被捅一刀不用送医，被捅十刀还能活命。
2-3天断断续续看完。“Who needs romance, when one has... family?”
美国人拍的英国剧真的不行 开头五分钟就看不下去了…完全没抓住英国文学的精髓
金惠允好适合这种锋芒毕露的角色 台词完全没在收敛的
弃。简奥斯汀本来就超无聊的 又弄个美国人来演英国人，差。下饭都下不下去。
故事上已经很难有什么突破了 这个系列继续下去的价值仅存于作为元电影来解构不同时期的流行类型电影
最差的一部，不仅仅是凶手毫无悬念，而且每一个死的都毫无感情，并且死得毫无新意。演技和台词更加倒胃口。连最不入流的jump scare都没有。。。
古典版的fleabag, sort of
2星，前面卖情怀玩老梗，后面嘲讽粉丝吐槽影片系列爱好者。哈哈哈。
硬把25年前的旧事旧人再联结起来强行捆绑，毫无逻辑的疯狂杀戮，还把“老人”杜威警长给写死了？大卫阿奎特也太惨了…
为啥不能学学《双峰》。
本来就是看达科塔约翰逊的，看完发现简奥斯汀那些东西用这种现代诙谐方式拍居然可以把狗血溶解到幽默里就很神奇。Anne是克制、内敛、理性的，怎么可能开场就是酗酒！！！
如果剧本再打磨一下就好了，能不能再俗套得高级一点，完整度再高一点，不然真的可惜推土机这个意象了。金慧允演技真的好，以为是天空之城再现，但其实多了很多细腻的东西。这破公司什么才能把我们公主放出来挑大梁！！！
对第一部的解构，这个小镇的人都是恐怖片影迷，每一场惨案都是一部电影。只要是影迷就会重蹈覆辙为续集献上新案例
很久很久以前看过第一部和第二部，内容已经有点记不起来了，但没想到女主到第五部还杀不死（笑），挺特别的一系列，在想要不要回溯看，换句话说如果两位女主最终被“杀死”的话就不会有下一部了？愿两位女主长命百岁
竟然跟《矩阵重启》一个套路，只不过玩得更无聊一点。P.S.Melissa Barrera跟Morena Baccarin好像，仿佛又一种“自我参照”。
镜头组织和剪辑太平凡了，导致剧情发展和人物形象根本无法有力地展开。
