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.
可怜的芯悦，一直都是她在默默守护着她们的感情…
what's wrong with you?
有点含糊不清的感觉，好像故事没有讲明白，不过，好爱谈善言～（改分了，看了三遍，后劲有点大……）
我想要你在众人面前与我相拥，我想要你不顾一切与我在一起。
my dear，best friend，forever
让前女友当自己的伴娘到底是啥心态啊？？？？
一个作品不管再多外界评价，还是喜不喜欢能不能打动自己最重要，差点因为评分错过这么好看的一部电影，它确确实实有打动我。对男女感情的描述也好，对女女感情的表现也好，青涩的学生时期闭上眼按捺不住想亲吻对方的心情，影院握住手对方不自然坐直的表现，像是电流通过身体一样的感觉，谢谢带给我好久以来没有过的舒畅体验，在很多电影中我无法共情，但此刻我却可以
勇气 是真的很难
只要我喜欢你 你喜欢我 这个世界有什么解决不了的 想起MLA的海 假如你不记得 那场头痛 是我虚无的幻想吗
我：学生作业都没这么差/李泳蓝太像我健身教练了/我还是哭了😭
“个女咪遗传晒你咯”
两位女主角的种种行为用我那个年代的话来形容的话就是“好非主流”啊～！
不喜欢芯这个角色，一开始也是你去撩人家，分手的也是你，失踪的也是你，先恋爱的也是你，爸爸死了第一个找人家的也是你，可就不愿意再次接受。。
只是误以为那个画面会变成同学们纷纷上前为她们撑伞……
也许是因为大人觉得她们还是小孩 不以为意 但是他们当时的玩笑与幽默 是与中国传统家长不同的 温暖的
“我不要将来，我觉得现在就很好！”我们并没有被对方辜负，只是被这个世界辜负，配乐很赞呢，歌词简直戳心口～
为什么为什么为什么结局是这个样子的....都两情相悦为什么不在一起啊TT
符合爱情片的基础设定:酸甜苦辣
怎麼說呢.阿談演技沒有什麼問題，但就是覺得怪怪的.中學時代兩個人的情感不像學生時期的拍拖，更有一種成人回過頭去看以前的那種味道.氛圍有點出戲. 陳健朗哭起來好樣衰哈哈哈哈哈哈柯煒林只有一個背影嗚嗚嗚好想看他戴眼鏡
好像陈妍希，李芯悦爱死wing了，但现实让她不愿意再赌一次试试看。wing一直是后反劲儿但够持久的那一个，长大了为了爱换专业。
