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.
怪物设计的也好丑，没有压迫感
现在的恐怖片只能要求故事讲好了吗，反正不吓人就是了，有新意，不过好看程度也一般般
看完之后总觉得看了个寂寞。说不通的地方太多，为什么献祭只要女性？可是到最后男性也吃？？？在女主献祭的时候，她的远房亲戚来救她，最后却只是一个幻象？有点多余，看的不明所以。让人摸不着头脑，没意思。而且中间很拖沓，两星给怪物造型。
说实话100%完全彻底没认出来妈妈是当年的邻家女优~电影略老套，但也弄了些新哏，比如扯到了数学上~比如数数，后来都有人数到多少了来着？总体还行吧~
为了alex看的，小制作，剧情概念还可以，但核心还是地狱怪物那套，没太多新意。alex老了好多，以前的无脑美少女都开始演妈了。许多电影都在用薛定谔的猫的概念，但这部是唯一解释了原理的，但这个概念在电影里面也没体现出来，想杂糅进去的概念太多，但哪个都没有详细讲。
这个妖怪真正诠释了什么叫老娘一X夹死你。。
4.5/10，看得我昏昏欲睡，本片最大亮点是怪物的造型，光怪物本身就值4分。
被平庸名字耽误的恐怖佳作！气氛、节奏、故事都没毛病！叙事流畅，结尾的宏达展开极其惊喜，略有《潜伏》之一、二风致！续集若是把地狱的景象描摹的再具体些，那还得了…
这部真的不行，氛围营造的有了，但这个故事跟本没跟上，但每次到了那个点就是差两口气，有点莫名其妙，看了半天也没搞懂要说什么。浪费我两小时
恶魔用手当脚🦶🏻，
女主傻白甜的被骗钱 交一月租金 然后用租金再骗他回来的傻白甜杀了她妈 只收女租客为什么屋主是男的还有人租 箱子男女通吃为什么只收女的 反正很多奇奇怪怪的逻辑这样
除了一惊一乍也就最后能稍微惊艳点、可能题材受众没什么共鸣吧
以蛾当成最终怪物还推荐还挺有新鲜感的。前面故事节奏太慢了。
喜欢奴役人数数的恶魔，题材不错，可惜劲不够
有点拖沓，不知所谓～整体氛围渲染还可以，勉强3星
窄门一入深似海，黄泉行走按顺序。
怪物设计很棒，就是剧情太拖沓。片头的巴西人是被女鬼从身后蒙眼背刺，本以为是鬼魂杀人，结果看完才发现杀人的是大扑棱蛾子，片尾怪物攻击模式都变了，从开头走位背刺变成了双辅助硬控后近身斩首。
前期气氛营造还行，公式推理也让人比较有兴趣，就小儿子不见了就开始崩成俗套，数数真心不恐怖，只是让人挺困想睡觉，有点看内地恐怖烂片既视感...
剧情一般，全片就开头的恐怖氛围还不错，最后的怪物设计非常亮眼，我觉得冲这个怪物都值得一看。
挺老套无聊的故事,也就结尾稍稍惊艳了一下。
