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.
刚看完《普通人》就有新的Daisy Edgar-Jones可以看真是太幸福了。
剧情和氛围还不错，女主太强大了，看似平民但每一步操作都很精准。
反正开头结尾我都没认真看 就最刺激那一段认真看了 一点不影响了解剧情
可谓非常精巧的“暴风雪山庄”，可惜的是谜底没有保持到最后，而谜底揭晓后就成为套路的惊悚片。
血腥又不够血腥，惊悚也不太惊悚，最后girls help girls的主旨也在节奏突然加快的结尾没有彰显出来，使得全片尽显平庸。
平庸至极，现在几乎是打着一种血腥暴力的噱头，夹杂着女性力量的正义主题，就可以编出一部电影了。实在太无聊了。
本来只想给三颗星，但看完结局，作为女性不得不多给一颗。看过女导演执导的恐怖片，和男导演的完全不同，男性导演习惯一气呵成，紧张配乐、突如其来的惊吓……恐怖节奏拉满，但女性导演基本都会以情绪释放、唯美镜头、舒展的音乐画面“打乱”了这种观众熟悉的男性视角的恐怖，而且，血腥的运用通常都驾驭在主角需要释放自我情绪之上，和男导演纯粹的血腥暴力的感官享受完全不同。全片隐喻了女性在这个男权为主导的吃女人世界里，与欺凌女性群体的男性抗争，以及最后把那些为男性服务坑害同性的女性砍得稀烂，也特别爽！全片的情绪氛围和去年的《前程似锦的女孩》很像。那个开车来找自己喜欢的姑娘的黑男人最终还是逃离了现场，甚至连个报警电话都没打，结尾又是个girl help girl的结局。
许多灵光闪现处也掩盖不住整体的平庸，如果不是塞吧唧的美颜撑着就更没意思了，闲来无事用来看个乐呵还行，毕竟塞吧唧被爆x的大场面还是特别值得一看👀
前半段感觉确实挺新鲜的，但是中间开始男主对女主有真感情的时候就还是有点俗套了。后边基本没有惊喜（还有就是我被狠狠剧透了）
我也是醉了。fine dining风格食人群体的女性奴役和绑架。。。。有点太多了吧，也拍的太无聊了吧
真的不错啊 还是无名无姓亚裔演的 支持就完事了 还要什么自行车
小成本惊悚片，其实还不错。几个主演都演技在线，也有一些新意。
食人魔恋爱脑太离谱了
无意间看了男演员厨房起舞那段的试镜小视频 被那种快乐气氛感感染知道的这部电影 看到正片的时候我他妈惊讶和反胃程度….
6.5，挺刺激的，但故事不够好，设定和主题过于先行的那种片子
有一句台词点亮了主题 男权帮凶让女性更难
各种降智行为，以及铺垫不足动机不足的转折，拿钉枪人敢追着拿枪的人打，警察出警绑架杀人案只出一个人，看这部电影约等于被喂💩
故事拙劣，充满了导演自以为是的符号和象征，廉价地让人频频出戏。第三幕可笑的打斗，让人嗤笑。
有望入选最猎奇的厨房舞步之一 girls never die
极好 吊着一口气看完了 并感到遭受了创伤，作者牛掰
