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.
构思真的不错，对于青少年来说是一部很好的入门惊悚片。唯一的错误就是分级是R级。
导演非常有才华，前途无量，剧本算是努力做了尝试，可惜中段崩的比较厉害。儿童向不知能否熬的过来，但是整体美术表演镜头均在线。 就赖这个破剧本，不太抓人。
最后结局，水猴子以弱小的身躯拯救了小朋友，那种不被理解还心存善良的感觉，真的动容了
好久没看过恐怖片了，两部放在一起看，还是有点儿意思的～
比较一般，镜头切换乱。剧情和人物结合不到一起
冲着这个黑人演员来看的 为什么他就是自带搞笑天赋啊！
子供片。特技一般，剧情高开低走，整体很一般。
好久没看过恐怖片了，两部放在一起看，还是有点儿意思的～
前期很吓人 后面很感人 就是逻辑上有点说不通
感觉这个剧情已经圆的挺努力了，相比之下，好电影了
不得不说，最后还能感受到一丝丝人性的温暖。P.S.姐姐好漂亮
只是那个小男孩 不行…！
反转再反转，不错。很多的场景就是童年梦想，很好。就是最后有点崩，可能时长不够了。真想像小男孩一样醉心于自己喜欢的文体，笔耕不辍，在自己的故事里汲取力量
还行吧，最终能自圆其说还是比较有逻辑的，氛围营造也ok，女主气质挺大气👍
邪恶女巫是导演么 每天要找男主要剧本素材
不错的电影，对于国产电影来说真的惊到了，前面有点恐怖结尾挺感人的
好大好漂亮的屋，舞房宿舍女主家( '-')ノ)`-')
从第一部就觉得挺捧。 没想到第二部也很不错哦。 真的精彩 ，越到后面越紧越入戏。看着看着全家都看起来了😄。 大女主是真勇为敢为。演技炸裂。
真的很烦看电影找bug的人，这部电影在国产惊悚电影里算优质的了。
我真的被这个儿童恐怖片吓到啦！！这是我今年看到最好看的，有惊喜，有惊吓，有旧故事也有新汤药。总在我以为要落入俗套的时候给我反转。终于有不完全“弱智”的剧情了，小孩子没一些编剧想的那么幼稚！
