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.
三星半，怪物形象也太棒了，集合昆虫、男女、生殖崇拜各种～
偷车，绑架，撞死人，害死朋友，史上最讨厌主角之一
魔鬼只能对善良的人下手而已，特别针对信任的人进行剥削，黑人女&厂老板本质都跟魔鬼立场是一致的。
和小段一起看。虽然看得云里雾里的，但这血腥程度确实可以，而且恐怖片看出了喜剧效果是怎么回事？
电影里的老奶奶和导演前作的那个怪物长得好像。虽然依旧还是各种暗戳戳地黑政府，但这部影片比以往任何一部伪恐怖纪录片都要更加考验观众的眼睛、耳朵和耐心，绝对是今年最“WTF”（即是贬义也是褒义）的影片了。不恐怖也不搞笑，但很恶趣味。坚持看完了正片，反而觉得片尾的臭嘴Rap竟然正常多了，而且还有点小可爱。拍得很好，但下次还是不要这样拍了，真的太考验人的耐性了。。。
以恐怖片的形式来表现人与人之间呈现出病态的牵绊和关系，一旦顺从他人对自己的情感与道德绑架，就是把自己的大脑献祭给这些人，成为失去自主能力和判断力的尸体。女主的反杀就是从情感绑架中，以爱为名的Pua中挣脱出来。
个人比较喜欢的小成本佳作，主要是做怪物设定的设计师深得寂静岭的视觉语言，错位的肢体、被遮蔽的五官、放大的上下颚，特别像寂静岭4那种风格，女主对母亲的愧疚和恐惧的具象化无处不在，献祭仪式与杀人旅馆结合，天花的玻璃挺漂亮，节奏属于后段才爆发的类型，其实特效化妆挺用心，血腥指数也有4星
电影刚局就被那个大怪物惊艳到，对于接下来的剧情还是很期待的。故事的画面感跟色彩搭配还是有那种惊悚度的。
找电影太累了，随便点个恐怖片，既不恐怖又特别无聊……
40分钟开场，铺垫冗长，密室、怪兽、鬼混，杂糅但是没一个好看。
确实有点尬 但是如果nick和james的actor互换了 按照其他人的评论来看 说不定就七分以上了 我自己看的倒是挺开心的
形式新颖但是剧情太松散了，感觉半小时就够了。20220626
还是不错，很有代入感，效果什么的都不错。很完美。很有创意的一部伪恐，女主是我喜欢的类型包括性格。
5/10毫无章法和逻辑的一部片子，看了跟没看一样。
恐怖气氛营造得非常到位，跟着女主的遭遇一步步进入剧情。对社会的隐喻也不难懂，就是觉得怪物的出场时间是不是可以再多点，哈哈。
一般般吧，不算恐怖，套路还蛮多的，鬼屋梗，兄弟梗，接班人梗，就很一般啊。就像一个网友说的，弑母少女大战妖蛾子
女主满足了所有白左的特点：说话声音大，话密，体力好，嗑药，爱直播和不戴口罩（滑稽）
怪物通过两兄弟租出一幢房子，找献祭的女子，女主没有被控制，最后应该是被黑化了吧，一般般
除了那个长得不知道像啥的怪物还有点特色之外其他的部分毫无看点。
真不错，很久没看到有意思的未记录类型的片了，结合实时还挺有意思，女主性格挺好玩的
