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.
在限行沈猹规则下能把鬼故事圆到这个份儿上已经相当不错了，这电影比每年国产院线上绝大部分挂羊头卖狗肉的恐怖片不要走心太多，而且还能窥到《罗生门》《八恶人》和《功夫》的影子。
其实不算恐怖，但是故事很不错，最后形成了一个完整的闭环。
个别的特效竟然有点儿好 原本打着是那些年看过的烂片系列 没想到是自己先入为主了 整体看下来 竟然还凑合 比大多部分的网络烂片强一些 结尾也蛮有意思的 所以加一颗星以做鼓励
真不错....这种民俗志怪片不会走院线的，走网络刚好填补空白，质量各方面做得也上乘，诚意满满，不得不respect。
两个半小时的电影 很快就过去了 还可以吧
没看过原著，在不知因果的情况下，本应该抽丝剥茧呈现的秘密感动，变成了明知你痛我痛他痛但却无法为他们的脆弱流泪
都是网大老面孔，制作水平比起几年前可谓是鸟枪换炮了。某些院线电影能不能连网大都打不过🥲
惊艳，形式分是一般的，装了个鬼怪惊悚恐怖的壳，写的是人性悲凉，这样的内地网片，居然内容极具高度，构思匠心独具，难得，当不吝夸赞。
比如狐狸特效让我感觉在看《白蛇》电影里的小狐狸，萌得不行；还有中国版毒液的怪物特效；挺出戏的

氛围感还不够，没有那种惊悚刺激的感觉。但故事讲的很好，至少能自圆其说，也算是国产恐怖片里的翘楚了。
太致郁了...看的我心里堵了很久...
特效和剧本在网大中属于比较出色的水平了，看得出来认真做的电影。
2个半小时呈现不出什么东西，又臭又长。亏松坂桃李是我很喜欢的演员，上一秒看心想他怎么又露屁股了，下一秒转过来的画面简直让我后悔看这电影了，陰キャラ基本和他是锁死了吧，我还想看他演阳光活泼的角色啊，本来很期待看这电影，看完觉得不看也罢了。
故事挺好，挺完整，特别是最后一段符合中国传统价值观，恶有恶报，不过谢老板的善报却没见到
氛围感拉得可以
起码整个故事前后能呼应，形成回环了，这已经比大多数网大强了，比不少院线电影也强。
恐怖鬼片，能拍成这样，很不错了，除了两位女性，其他人的演技也是在线的。虽然特效感人，但是故事说服人就够了，希望大家的口碑能换来更用心的创作。
没有狐狸精差评，我是来看狐狸精放松消遣的，导演给我看这么恐怖的人心。尤其是彩蛋让恶形成了首尾循环，让整个人类社会的现实都被揭露在眼前，一整天心情都沉重了。三星水平，冲国内网大中难得一见的水平多给一颗星。
人與人之間果然很難理解與共情啊 有很多我不能理解的地方 但不妨礙人物的悲慘命運 / 對橫濱流星僅存的好感在這部影片後消失殆盡
