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.
《重生之我在UK跑外卖遭到精子怪假扮的异能老太追杀》。对伪纪录恐怖片解构的一种路径，用疯逼女主+没心没肺的joker+各类型元素的混搭捏合在一起以夯实它的基底，所以它压根就是一搞笑片，属实是老少皆宜。2.5
其实我没看懂，这到底想表达是什么，多给一颗星是因为这个怪物设计的不错，这导演一开始就把蝴蝶，箱子这些东西不停地铺垫，我还以为是想搞一波大的，结果雷声大雨点小，虽然创造氛围的能力还不错，但是最后给我的感觉就好像哑巴吃黄连，有苦说不出，我都快看自闭了...
结局可以，反杀，痛快。前面铺垫太长，节奏有点儿慢。
故事马马虎虎，捆疯女人那段太突兀了太粗糙了，最后怪物的那段太抖了，看了个寂寞，你拍的伪纪录片也不带这样啊。最后的即兴说唱太恶俗了，这女主是真的恶心。
结尾dirty rap freestyle了8分钟电影演职员名单
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。
以低成本的电影来说，这部真的不差，故事也很好
有人留意到唯一一条非英文的评论，是中文的吗，哈哈哈哈
小成本cult片，怪物的造型和意向都比致命感应有新意，恐怖表现手法很细节，很不模式化，美国恐怖片习惯的一惊一乍其实太粗糙了。诡屋惊魂，洗手池下面的呼救声，浴帘外的人影，睡觉时候一直摸你的手，仿佛深不见底的黑箱子，就觉得很细节。箱子里能爬出什么？在没爬出来之前，这就是最恐怖的地方
永远都在把正面角色受害者弱智化，这样仿佛就合理很多，提升生存人类的智商平均值。
没怎么看懂，也就那个怪物感觉不错，视觉效果震撼。
执行上可以给5星，相当respect。但这个剧情和整体的观影感受....可能过于edgy了吧，不喜欢。
可惜 怪物樣子還蠻驚悚 卻只能靠意念殺人 ....
前面铺垫太多都发现不对也不跑为了租金又走又回的后面锁链能自动开了？如果真是女主无情不好惹应该早交代
3.5。难得看到一个20分钟迅速进入主题，接下来全程wtf+卧槽的伪纪录血浆恐怖片。。。
还可以，当片荒时候看还可以，片子没到烂片级别。有介意屎尿屁呕吐喷血慎看。
三星半，怪物造型给半分，中规中矩，略有小惊喜。
？神经病 就这啊 毫无新意浪费时间全片无高能
结尾「说唱彩蛋」是全片的亮点，而用「疫情脑残」的人设来面对「恐怖直播」故事类型，更透露出一种「以毒攻毒」的戏谑，反正从类型片或者人设的角度看两者都是「垃圾」，反而呈现出一种反差强烈的黑色幽默。
还行，鬼屋阶段一惊一乍的，女主颠沛流离比较惨，反杀结局总算不虐。
