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.
同样是今年Hulu出品的关于女性反抗题材的电影，这部比《新鲜》观感好太多。在仅有的90多分钟时间里，影片能够把给观众想看的都看到了，只是受制于成本和规模，没能在许多地方更进一步。暴风雪山庄的模式运用的还算可以，但悬念揭露的还是有一点过快和潦草了，几个反转给人的冲击力度也比较一般。But影片最好的一点还是把人物给写实了，女主智商不掉线，敢打敢拼，以至于在最后反杀的时刻也是那么顺理成章，加上不错的节奏把控，这么一部制作尚可的悬疑电影值得你去花费一个半小时去欣赏。 p.s.女主越看越像前女友，太搞了🥲
说实话，场景单一故事单薄，推理过程反转反杀真没有那么精彩，清汤寡水。
一个十来分钟的惊悚小故事却无限放大到长片，所以呈现出无穷极的愚蠢。
还不错，片尾调度算是一个亮点。剧本还算扎实，比较能够调动情绪。
似乎所有的主角都有一个习惯，就是打倒坏人之后就跑，然后等着坏人起来抓自己，都看腻了。
高于预期啊，很好看，虽然这配乐有点过了，，女主很漂亮，像女排 惠若琪。
略显俗套了些，女主的背景和遭遇倒是交代的很详细，但似乎跟电影没啥太大的转折关联，暴风雪的悬疑惊悚片，看开头差不多已经帮编剧把结尾安排好，实际看下来也确实八九不离十，前期四人里猜测凶手，中期抓住凶手的帮凶还有谁，结尾警察走过场送人头并闹场，女主如何一己之力终结凶手，虽然剧本单薄，好在过程没有太多废话和拖沓，节奏和走向利索干脆，不过还是逃不了逻辑问题和角色蠢钝，好几次可以摆平的局面，硬是搞成不可收拾的残局，90分钟这样批发而来的故事确实不好凑，但能在预期内落幕还带点爽利感，相较这两年的好莱坞类型片低迷的制作环境来说，还是颇具亮点和诚意的。★★☆
女主战神附体，漏洞明显，观感不错。推荐一看。
我还在想这个黑人是谁来着，原来是24小时里的总统啊，多少年过去了
非常好看的爽片，女主全程智商在线，剧情没有尿点。虽然结尾反派还是死于话多，但是对于一部犯罪惊悚片又是正常程序。对比 cop shop 更真实，人物性格塑造更丰满。
入题快，但各人各种选择就崩坏。中段拉扯在没被监视下也不透露威胁，耳语暗语也不用；内外僵持下谨慎迟迟不动手得知无危胁进屋却一枪一个；保姆戏实属为戏剧性强加；当然虽反派男留真枪给男二自己拿装修工具导致真枪落入女主手，不过工具和真枪似乎同样有威力也就不纠结吧；最后警察到来女主只需随便放一枪反派男便会被警察制伏但偏化简为繁…这类片最忌不合情境。
还以为这次Dale Dickey演了好人，哈哈哈~1080P 22/02/27
光头扮相还真有点斯坦森的味道 开始节奏挺好 后面有的散 这话痨也太唠了
小成本，还可以。就是说两个绑匪咱为了拐卖人口至不至于……还非得去绑架大户人家的闺女，直接就是进门抢了。
还可以呀。我被某个短篇误导，一直怕出现精神幻觉的煞笔剧情，结果还是正常的展开。要不是这点观影体验更好吧
●目前看了20分钟，女主长相很不讨喜，特别丧，就跟谁欠她一条命似的。方人精。●看完了，结局那段乱咬太扯了！
还可以 有几个小反转 女主有几个角度和镜头竟然跟蒋勤勤很像 好神奇
哈里森+哈特莫名好磕，看我的既甜又好笑，很好看！虽然剧情俗套，可还是好看，何况还有美美的penny客串，哦对了，还有山p
悬念铺陈还行，可惜反派设计太蠢了，直接导致女主的反击完全嗨不起来。
