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.
1.这是“借鉴”了多少部电影?????
太有意思了！选角无敌，智商在线！男主身上有犬之力的味道。
很有趣的电影，不露脸的伊桑霍克可是巨大的牺牲了 20220724
疑问:杀人犯为啥要杀人呀？
girls help girls
这男孩到底是精明还是蠢啊,跑出来了明知道后面有车追正常人不是应该忘旁边跑吗,他还一直在车前跑,无语
有成长，有励志，有灵异，但是凶手的动机是啥呢，为啥怕露脸，还有一个小孩的梦就能出警了？有点离谱了吧，莫非是因为信仰？伊桑霍克露脸就见光死，话说这配角当的的确很是称职啊，哈哈
爽到，两个事，1.美国人仍然是最会拍电影的一批人 2.美国的年轻人仍然是最有反抗精神的一批年轻人，因为是类型片的原因减一分，一般来说越是节奏慢的片子越难拍，因为大部分观众如果没有没看到他们想看的，就会直接走出放映厅或者点击关闭按钮，然后去到朋友圈或者像豆瓣的某个社区，发个吐槽烂片的帖子啥的，这个片在节奏方面还不错，不会让人觉得无聊，另外就是类型片总会存在一些无法比较突兀的设定，对于一般的观众来说并不影响观看，但是有的人就会想为啥只有男主能听到电话铃声，为啥他接电话，搞小动作的时候从不会被反派逮住
超自然灵异与悬疑犯罪拼接的创意不错，可惜拍得不温不火。作为本片的破局关键，地下室墙上那部老旧黑色电话成为链接阴阳两界的通讯工具，在死去孩子的协力帮助下，主角得以依靠亡者提供的信息一步步开展逃生计划。只能算是中规中矩的商业恐怖片，完全可以执行地更好，节奏过于平缓，叙事几无波折，剧情简单到没有任何反转与诡计，密室逃脱的过程也因为直给的线索丧失了紧张感，伊桑·霍克居然演了一个毫无魅力的变态反派，直接拉低整部片子的格调。“总有一天你得为自己挺身而出，而那一天就是今天。”纵使身陷绝境也要奋起反抗，无论如何都不要放弃生的希望，恐怖片外壳下，内核其实还是青少年在面对压力和恐惧后获得成长的故事。电影无论背景还是各种元素都很有斯蒂芬·金小说的味道，小镇、气球、面具怪人、黄色雨衣，确实赤裸裸地致敬《小丑回魂》。
《打死大反派》之《灵界电话指导》，小孩们拉个腾讯会议的话，男主是不是能更早逃出来？
复古的风格，淡淡的惊悚，前面的铺垫在结尾一气呵成。
史蒂芬金是不是用脑电波遥控他儿子写作了，还是说他又想故技重施八十年代初搞伪造假作者的活儿来给自己降热度，这他妈也太金的风格了吧
小演员们真可爱啊！！！可是Ethan Hawke 这个角色怎么这么无聊？！
一星半 导演并没有介绍伊桑霍克的背景啊，这么变态的杀人犯没背景的？？节奏慢，后面还行，普通一打发时间的🍿惊悚片
漂亮的男孩子和酷酷的女孩子，加上美式复古。又是该打的大人和孩子们自救的故事。
值得肯定的作品，氛围渲染到位，小男主非常帅气。
“小伙伴”们齐心协力为男主创造生路的情节太感人了，都忽视了这是一部带有恐怖元素的片子了，兄妹俩的双向奔赴也很暖心，伊桑霍克这个酱油打得也太敷衍了。虽然不恐怖，但值得一看。
有那么些无聊 中段很明显在节奏上断篇了 就很像开个腾讯会议拉一桌给男主培训培训快点逃走
很有趣的电影，不露脸的伊桑霍克可是巨大的牺牲了 20220724
芬尼长大肯定是个帅哥
