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.
氛围还行，数数的点第一次出现的时候确实让人浑身一凉。剧本还是单薄了，另外女主的演技让人出戏。总体一般。
不恐怖，不吓人，不聪明。即猜到了开头，也猜到了结局，但系没猜到这是个妖蛾子的故系。
原来邻家女优都39岁了，最后上下楼梯的时候心提到了嗓子眼，可惜这结局也太膈应人了
2.5星吧，被电影的宣发给骗了，并没有预想的精彩，剧情的大致走向和结局也都有预想到了。最后，希望女主下辈子买房子长点心眼，不要贪便宜买凶宅。
设定蛮讨喜的，但是bug也很明显，胜在完成度不错，3.5
虽然看着成本不高，某些细节没有交代清楚，但因为没有期待却收获惊喜，近期不错的类型片
【2022-5-2】氛围感营造的还可以，宗教系恐怖略加分，怎么回事现在对恐怖片要求越来越低了只要没有离谱到搞笑的行为逻辑我好像都能包容…
恐惧源于内心，既能控制人心，也能重获新生。
刚看完，还算不错的低成本美式恐怖片。都是网飞的电影，里面有个彩蛋不知道有多少人看到，就是女主在厨房的时候，电视上播的说4个在瑞典失踪游客的新闻。这彩蛋说的应该同是网飞的电影“黑森灵”，看过黑森灵都知道就是4个英国人在瑞典森林里被洛基的私生子，一个像鹿和人合体的怪物应该说是古神吧，杀了3个只逃了男主。这电影里的怪物应该也是像人和飞蛾的合体，估计也是古神之类的设定，网飞搞这种造型搞上瘾了。
现在的恐怖片总是讲某种恶魔本片介绍了baphomet巴风特
冲着伊丽莎·库斯伯特看的这部电影，对她的印象还停留在《单身男子俱乐部》、《邻家女优》、《恐怖蜡像馆》的无敌美少女时期，没想到变成这模样了。。。
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
前面的桥段可谓套路大合集，唯一值得一看的地方就是在地狱的镜头，不吓人，适合恐怖片入门新手看。
电影氛围营造的不错，除了个别情节略显女主无脑，总体智商在线。至于电影背后的寓意，也就是非法移民的悲惨遭遇和所处的非人环境，背井离乡，奔着美好的愿望去，结果成为社会的牺牲品。
前一个小时很平淡，只有零星的几个恐怖的点出现，最后的反转还是挺好的
本来以为阴森古宅会闹鬼，结果强行扯上薛定谔的猫和多维空间、又扯到巴风特和数数地狱，不知道是不是拍利维坦成本太高，提一嘴就拉倒，结局被全家数数排队转圈走给看笑了
怪物造型倒是眼前一亮但是宏观来看着怪别扭的
亲戚真是倒了八辈子血霉，屠龙者成龙的结尾我很讨厌。
电影前面一般，结尾比较精彩，有点绝望，为结尾加两星
期待了很久以为很有创意的片子 也就这样吧 数数确实是一个自带紧张和压迫感的point
