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.
那有怎么样？看的爽就好了。
但剧情拖沓，人物行为前后矛盾，高潮剧情戛然而止
漏洞百出啊，还有最搞得就是这么恐怖的情况女主竟然敢只身一人往矿洞里走，多特么吓人啊，跑都来不及还自己往里走，不现实嘛
豆瓣定律，恐怖片5以上的，都是好片子。
作为恐怖片，视听氛围的营造平平无奇，手段重复，叙事效率也是有点低，结尾高潮戏草率。不过怪物造型还是挺拉风
太墨迹了，本来题材还不错，但是没用的剧情也太多了……
影像质感和视听都很对个人胃口，故事也很不错让人想到妈妈、异形2。可惜在戏剧层面缺乏悬疑和情感张力，各种意义上都有点可惜
整部电影的结尾，故事戛然而止，但是我更多的还是对整个电影主题的疑问。如果它想讲摆脱变态的父爱，那么神话传说的引入就不是那么恰当，前后的铺垫也不太完整；如果只是想讲一个恐怖故事，那么儿童虐待的问题就显得有些多余。不过值得一提的是，整部电影对于环境的渲染是相当不错的，无论是大雾的晚上、幽静的林中小路、漆黑一片的矿道，还是结尾辽阔的湖边，都很好地衬托了电影的氛围。
是有点好笑，但是片子长到新鲜劲儿一过我就开始无比厌烦
就算是小学女教师单挑怪物，片子无聊就是无聊。倒是片中小镇风景如画。
为什么感觉还可以的恐怖电影评分往往都很低？是因为把你们吓尿了？
期待第二部！！！
[1]可惜这个故事“前不着村，后不着店”。
俄勒冈洲小镇美丽的山区风光一星，优秀的摄像和小演员一星。
女主放着受重伤弟弟不管非要去找怪物单挑 竟然还把怪物杀了 这就……
想看鹿角男孩卖萌结果一步之差看成了这部，俗套的怪兽片，很一般。
蓝光原盘，画面及音效真不错，尤其是黑位层次。
一个被家暴、性侵的女老师如何拯救原生家庭糟糕的学生，还帮着学生把他那被恶魔吞噬、寄生的吸毒制毒的父亲给收拾了；全片无高潮；警察还是那么蠢战斗力为0；顺道批判了美帝的抚养制度；大失所望。
是有点好笑，但是片子长到新鲜劲儿一过我就开始无比厌烦
两个sheriff都惨死的桥段，然后一个弱女子竟然战胜了魔鬼，这剧情快赶上国内的无脑剧了
