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.
虽然第三个故事和另外几个风格有点儿不统一，但是疯狂科学家改造人太cult了，画面清晰度最高反倒感觉最复古，血也舍得给，顽主的台词特别符合观看时的心情：哥们儿就喜欢俗的！老鼠人吸血鬼和守夜人都差不多吧，这个系列还是可以看看的
评论都是咋回事？这一部明明不拉垮啊，除了主线不行，第四个生涩难懂，其他三个故事都水准之上。尤其人体机械改造那一集，惊艳。
播新闻播到吐🤮，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈～这是个搞笑片吧
鼠人、诈尸、吸血鬼…土爆了，像极了一部粗制滥造的60年代B级片，一点也不恐怖，只有机械人那段有点意思
1-4里贯穿始终的这条线只有第二部的节奏拿捏的刚刚好...
《忍者神龟》前传之老鼠大师融脸神教崛起，守灵夜中邪缝合活尸解体翻生，印尼血浆特摄人体改造赛博新人类大战特警队，美帝红脖革命被吸血鬼延误多年……除了画面做旧外，几个故事议题其实跟94年都没多大联系，所谓复古主要是为了掩饰本集成本太低吧？但回归粗糙质感的B片大杂烩，也挺好
3>4>1>2 我觉得守夜最烂啊 莫名其妙的 然后就是地下道 有点意犹未尽 在是邪教 跟美国政治结合这个还蛮有意思的 爆炸血有点搞笑 机械人这个还蛮有意思 最完整 最后那剧情还有点意思 有点像bioshock那游戏 总得来说可以更好吧 脑洞再大点就好
西蒙·巴雷特的the empty wake还挺有意思的，一个拼接的僵尸复活后东掉西掉看着惊悚又有点滑稽；提莫·塔哈亚托的the subject虽然有点“弗兰肯斯坦军团”的味道但还是不够劲道，且毕竟是个94主题复古感也不强，血浆一统撒也主要是作死。另外一个主线和俩故事就很普通了，血浆撒了也没啥特别看点
如果看灵媒看的打瞌睡，那就看致命录像带吧！十年老粉不请自来，第三个故事太猛了！直接第一视角正面刚！希望这个疯狂的成人邪典继续更新下去
这系列最喜欢的是1，23感觉是瞎拍的，到这一部才又有了点原版的味道
就挺一般的，负责串起来几个短片的大主线尤其弱智。
个人最喜欢第三个改造人的故事，有点《硬核亨利》的感觉，但更加的肮脏，令人不适，第一视角看起来也很爽，整体故事也比较完整，画面cult感十足，导演不愧是印尼出名的cult神，同喜欢他在第二部里拍的邪教的那一篇章。
实在理解不了居然会有人喜欢cult片，看得老子想吐
依然保持那种录像带画质增加纪实真实感，一个总故事串联四个小故事，还是最喜欢第三个那个实验机器姬视角的，恐怖血腥暴力是主打。
我只能说，请忽略我对本片的打分，因为这三颗星对我而言毫无意义。
@PIFFF Paris Fantastic Film Festival 鼠人恶趣味十分受用+吸血鬼复仇极端右翼白人kitsch以及brut风格都在兴奋点上
很久没有看过这么正儿八经的邪典片了，这种掐头去尾地讲了一段段没来由的故事，既过瘾又充满恶趣味。
回到录像厅cult片时代，单纯的本本cult
empty wake本来氛围挺好的，但是结尾太拉胯了，尸体一出来整个恐怖感都没了。印尼篇带点科幻还可以但是血浆撒太过了，还是前作印尼邪教那个更好。第一和第四都不好看，主线也一般害cue是最好的一部video…
我显然暂时丧失了看恐怖片的乐趣。（边看血肉横飞边吃东西已经成为我的基操了
