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.
紧凑些会好点，就像电影中自己说的一样，只是为了在艰难时刻的娱乐大家一下。
小男孩真可怜，可以拍部续集讲小男孩长大以后成为温迪哥猎人的故事
超自然套路片。阴郁破败孤寂的氛围营造还是很不错。
我想看一个简单的恐怖片。简单 低级 暴力 直接。Witcher里面关于leshy鹿首精的任何一个任务的剧情都要比这个恐怖片的剧情要好的太多。我想看个好看的电影 我不需要看一个电影教我做人科普哲学思想连带出来千面英雄 神话下的俄狄浦斯情结 女性觉醒。我就想看个他妈的简单的他妈的电影。真的特别怀念90年代00年代的怪兽片，比如科洛夫档案 迷雾。咱们把故事说好了真的不难。羊崽 soho 这个。今年太多烂片了 真的太难看了。绿骑士还不错 最起码可以把一个神话故事原模原样演出来。（这就算是很不错了。）
……..预告片好有气氛的样子，可是正片实在太无聊太无聊了……
再没了。
怪物寻找的宿主只会是罪孽深重之人……最后寄生到弟弟身上只能证明他也犯下了过错。我相信他姐姐被侵犯的时候他是旁观者，他什么都没有做；受伤的人想着逃离，而他却一直生活在那栋房子。然后他姐姐质问他的时候他只是心虚的回问到“你又不知道他对我做了什么？”以此来减轻自己的负罪感。
就这？
只是剧情也太散了，太尴尬了，空架子。
印第安宗教，异变父爱，一边努力读书，一边努力照顾家人的孩子。
虎头蛇尾，导演在中段为了杀戮场面而仿佛忘记的温迪哥怕光设定在结尾时也成为了女主的反杀契机，也使得塑造了几乎全片的温迪哥的恐怖感在那一刹那荡然无存。
俄勒冈洲小镇美丽的山区风光一星，优秀的摄像和小演员一星。
好无聊😑。。。。怪物打女主的时候怎么那么弱？
5.5/10 阴暗潮湿的小镇必出妖，又一个老套的古老传说，浪费了演技好的小男孩。
悬疑氛围不错
四星给小男孩，他爹有他真的是福气！都那样了还契而不舍的坚持给爸爸弟弟找吃的。话说小浣熊好像有点小，不够爸爸吃吧…爸爸也是好样的，坚持不吃孩子…
恐怖片导演永远有着足够惊艳的视觉审美 然而这个本子连三流编剧都写不出来这么俗的 求求不要什么人类 动物都开始丧尸化了 我要看鬼 单纯的活生生的鬼
前面三十分钟甚至40分钟都是很不错的营造了一个阴雨偏远废弃小镇的感觉，小男孩真的演很好，从女校长失智独探满走道都是血的房间开始就集体角色失智了，最后警察和女主的动机简直扯皮，如果最后没这么拉垮，我能打五星
很奇怪，确实很烂，但是又有一种让人忍不住看完的“魅力”。或许缩减到100分钟以内比较合适，现在抻太长了，很多地方衔接的其实挺生硬的，就只能各种尬舞尬演。
虎頭蛇尾吧 開頭其實蠻好的 氣氛營造的好 越到後面就覺得可惜了
