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.
有几段戏拍得不错的，剪辑音乐也很棒…但这个可怕的开头和结尾是在干什么…
"This is London. Someone has died in every room in every building and on every street corner in the city."
女性视角的黑暗童话，表面的美好掩藏不住欲望的罪恶……
呈现效果本可以更好的，剧情转折开始就变得混乱了
好看 女主颜值高 女主拥抱60年代的同是到轮渡呢打拼的女孩，虽然一切已来不及。会帮助女主的是女人和黑人。
也只有Edgar Wright能把女性意识觉醒的题材降维到僵尸惊悚悬疑片，到最后突然又有了那么一点波兰斯基怪房客的味道了，把时尚圈、女权和导演最喜欢的僵尸淋上电音与霓虹一起杂烩，想到这样的反转就更好笑了。
20211130想看，20211207在看。女主你天天做怪梦就没想过风水问题吗！没事不要看精神分裂症电影。以及这很未麻的部屋。
好漂亮的转场！好厉害的调度！好牛逼的审美！喜欢！

这可能是埃德加·赖特第一部以女性作为主角的影片，但依然体现了他在类型融合方面的天才。影片以上世纪铅黄电影的素材和色调打底，在此基础上叠加了现代女性闯荡大都市的情节框架，将这两者以梦境相连接完全吻合了女性互救的时代潮流。
养眼的复古时尚MV，“前程似锦女孩”的同病相怜，凶杀为灵感的时装秀本是个不错的点子，但影片中这种直白复制远不如去看看McQueen的开膛手杰克和Highland Rape秀。
开头很美好，过程很香艳，中途很悬疑，结尾很泄气。
视听语言极佳，故事不新，但有一个新鲜的讲述形式。
Anya太美了。但是为什么这个主角看得让人那么烦躁，明明在《乔乔的异想世界》里很让人怜爱啊。然后剧情就真的挺难看的。
857和霍酒，到底有啥乐趣啊。21世纪第三个十年，是铅的十年？
太赞了genre大片 比titane更高更圆满 视觉满分 too close to home 感觉lana del rey应该看看这片子哈哈哈low key讽刺很多想要活在60s的女孩们
女主的确一比就下去了
我的两个小女神的化学反应很奇妙！揭露事实的时候很奇妙！但最后的时装秀很拉垮…
1960年代西洋經典匯聚於一場電影，用驚魂迷亂還有託夢的方式來盡情揮霍。
原来他们竟然是……原来她竟然没死……原来……
