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.
看着突然想到《养鬼食人》里钉子头要是摔一跤的话……
小成本密室b级血浆片中这部应该算很好的了，难得亚裔没选刻板脸加分
暴雪天气，高速封路，五个人受困于一个没有手机信号也无职员的游客中心，其中就有绑架小孩的罪犯。典型的密室罪案，熟悉的场景设置。虽是小成本制作，但故事讲述得还不错，悬念的设置尚可，情节也是一波三折，还不时有反转。女主角是华裔，一个毒虫却脑子够用，几乎独力死里逃生。她的表演还可以。
女主和警察都智商让人捉急，不符合常理，拖了整体后腿！不过首尾呼应地结局倒是挺有感觉，四星合适😄
只不过元素多却没有很好的把气氛做好，导致我根本就没有紧张起来，这是这类题材的失败，所以说不差也不好，中规中矩吧
小成本密室逃脱惊悚片，典型警察来了还不如不来的送人头行为。可太气人了，简直帮倒忙了！
我只想知道，玻璃门是什么时候烂的？还有为什么不是白人女主？而是一个亚裔而且演技奇差！
经典暴风雪山庄故事！反转不断！drug也可以救人！nice~
该影片改编自小说，讲述暴风雪后一名女大学生，不得不与一群陌生人困在山区一个的高速公路休息区，与世隔绝。雪上加霜的是，她发现了有人的车里藏了一个被绑架的孩子，她不得不通过一场生死决斗来找出隐藏其中的绑架者。
doesn't even build based on any logic
小制作，但可以让人做到不玩手机一直看下去！！
Bullshit？Bullshit! 困在暴雪里的反击，不留活口，补枪。绑架女孩，送到更好的家庭？？钉在墙上，又生生挣脱出来。
有点失望，还是乌龙特工比较好看，凯文哈特真的说话好快哈哈哈哈，整体有点平庸了，而且有的地方很不合逻辑，5分
电影3星，给一星是因为某个角色，我不说是谁
You should not be nailed down when you're holding a real gun in hand.
女主智商全程在线，毫不作死，毫不圣母，在这种片子里简直不可思议
22年的片可以了，女主表演细腻，惊悚部分不傻，比想象中好，评分有点点低了
凯文哈特的电影和他近年来的comedy一样烂
有点儿为了突出女主光环的感觉…为什么杀人不干净留有后手啊！不过亚裔能接到这个本子真值得鼓励。
好家伙，旅馆杀人案跟瘾君子的设定一点关系都没有。
