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.
哈利波特时代之后一个不那么纯粹但又非常marvel的魔法世界
就是线上演唱会吧，不过不是我的菜，歌是真的不好听，最后的舞台星光倒是不错，配合着空无一人的观众席有点震撼
迷幻的乐风以及雷同斯嘉丽和嘎嘎的混合容颜，关键是唱功也在线，不错风格的演唱会纪录片…
令人做呕绿茶婊，别人不歧视我，但我可以歧视别人
如果设计成真是一个恶魔，会不会更吸引人一点呢
恐怖片不讲逻辑就一点都不恐怖了，我只觉得他们吵闹，又扯。
其实并不是特别恐怖，血腥是血腥了些，而且看到了加百列的真面目，这个以堕落天使为名字的怪物。一开始的悬念设置得还是不错的，到后半段的谜底揭开，倒让我想起了三池崇史的《鬼伎回忆录》。
女主受伤后，几次后脑出血，又是长头发，还不去看医生就觉得肯定藏着秘密。
孤儿复仇记..
抓心挠肝的想知道Gabriel的控电流能力的来源！
温子仁怎么变成这样了？？？我不能接受！无数过去电影的自我复制却显得更像自我阉割，调性极其分裂，屡屡令人笑场。把最拿手的剧本能力丢个精光。导演果然有钱就变烂。
还挺喜欢这种形式的新型整砖纪录片，伪现场+歌曲+歌词同时呈现，眼睛、耳朵和心灵都得到了享受，同一首歌听起来感觉完全不一样。
原来就是空场演唱会……为什么以前我一直以为碧🍐是英国人。（
恐怖爽片？温子仁导演在题材创新上的魄力真是让人大开眼界！
没有一首歌喜欢 不好意思了！
彩蛋不少，布莱恩·德·帕尔玛、马里奥·巴瓦、达里奥·阿金图、柯南伯格（竟然还有自己的《海王》）……前面确实有点小问题，钩子铺垫得太明显，结尾揭晓时没啥惊喜，不过靠视听能补回来一些。听说某奇艺删减了，呵呵，废物点心！
我清楚的了解到
设定上并不新鲜，谜底让我想起三池崇史的imprint。前期室内的空间恐怖，中期悬疑氛围的营造，后期谜底揭晓后的凶残杀戮，温子仁这次玩的混搭并没有让人失望。
剧情是《what if 》里黑化版的奇异博士啊，还有旺达天呐简直不要太期待
温子仁在技术方面当然是毋庸置疑的，打光、色调、构图、场面调度之类制作精良，画面充满了美感。跟以往拍的恐怖片相比在元素上拥有了更多的突破，对着尸体使用了浮夸音乐，加入了身体恐怖以及后半段有特别精彩的砍杀戏。故事的确老套得不行，想表达的亲情在《招魂》和《潜伏》已经足够多了，内涵甚至也没有前面两个丰富，但是能把这种故事包装成这样也的确令人佩服。结尾还是感觉很突兀，把夺回身体所有权这件事弄得太简单了，显得前面在装神弄鬼。
