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.
偷窥图谋不轨的人不是最可怕的，最亲密却最不信任你的枕边人是最可怕的
语言不通的环境真的会把人逼疯。地铁上的“凶手自白”差点让我觉得凶手另有其人了，看到后面才反应过来塑料袋里是什么，真的好可怕……氛围很微妙，是那种会让人寒毛直立的惊悚。结尾稍微有一点不合理。不要住对面楼距很近的房子，以及一定要拉窗帘好吗！
听不懂罗马尼亚语也没有字幕时和女主一样懵逼的沉浸式体验不错。
顺滑层层紧扣的紧张感，松弛有度。以为最后会给前男友一枪的！
好拖沓的剧情 好奇怪的反杀 但，好准的第六感
话说，一个人到不熟悉的地方语言不通应该会崩溃滴吧
前期铺垫很长，一点一点积累情绪，还有一些伏笔，例如女主的职业是演员。
老公们，男朋友们，平时多听听女伴们的第六感吧，女人的直觉一般八九不离十，这绝对是增进夫妻和情侣关系的良策。故事内核其实很传统，但影片的紧张感和未知感营造的很不错。
异国他乡，语言不通的设定，加强了被跟踪的惊悚感，剧情挺精致的，只是双方的冲突张力做的不够强，像女邻居，寓所老太，房东等角色，没利用起来，本来变态男最早是偷窥女邻居，女主来了后因为比较敏感，激起了变态男的注意，隔壁街区还刚刚发生女性凶案，这些元素都没有编织好，戏剧性没推到顶，点到为止，导致女主与变态的交锋，都在意料之中，结尾的翻转也有点超现实了，仿佛女主在说:他妈的老公，要你有何用！
那些隐藏在真实生活中的罪恶，正如同电影中体现的那样，捉摸不定，含混不清，却又如影随形，绝大部分人，无法在生活中的罪恶发生之前锁定真凶，而身边人的猜疑和漠视，更是将受害人推入绝望的深渊。影片最后，女主虽然奇迹般地反杀，可那更像是导演为了宽慰观影者的心灵而编织的童话，反观现实，我们只能看到受害者的墓碑。
电影的色调很漂亮，尤其是女主从男主公司走出来那一段！
虽然也有点套路，节奏感还不错，罗马尼亚布加勒斯特，萧瑟的东欧味有点。坐地铁塑料袋那里是最吓人。
表现力不太行啊…这种客观剧情发展少、主要靠情绪和感官渲染心理的片子在视觉语言和叙事角度上都太中规中矩了所以缺点特别明显…女性异乡人这个设定也挺老生常谈的，一定是“男”导演吧（白眼）。靠着结局好不容易出来点彩的戛然而止多加一颗心。
女人为何总是不安？女人为何总是发疯？女人的一生到底要怎样平安度过？请观看本片切身体会一下。
有点闷，但很有氛围感，又给zz脆弱的小心灵造成了伤害XD
本来剧情挺好的，但是通过声音吓唬人的恐怖片很低级。
从一开始就是孤立无援的状态，异国他乡语言不通，到典型的女性困境“我觉得你想多了”、女性互相相信、和受害者有罪论。很典型的片子。几处视听处理都很好，但有点点拖并且结尾拉了
不痛不痒 剧情平平 也没有能抓住眼球的地方
当然，这只是可能……
我丢，大可不必，如果是这样，我还不如花90分钟刷抖音呢。
