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.
【YVR-5th】两位女主不可限量！很适合万圣节这个时间点
1960年代西洋經典匯聚於一場電影，用驚魂迷亂還有託夢的方式來盡情揮霍。
没想到安雅竟然不是女一号 之前宣传都几乎只有她🥲该有的惊悚元素都有了 服装 配乐都很60s 果然是不管什么年代女性都共情女性
挺娱乐的 比Baby Driver 好看一点
视听体验好，但故事走向过于套路，反转也很蠢。最吸引人的部分是刚进入60年代的纸醉金迷，很逃避主义，但这部分太快就过渡到不痛不痒（没有实质性威胁）的鬼魂惊悚。Diana Rigg生前最后一次大银幕演出，而且状态还很不错，致敬。
体会不了影片所宣传的60年代怀旧感，也体会不了本片所谓悬疑的气氛。。。
直线崩坏。全员全景做作。女主也不知是演技还是天然，言行举止太二了，很久没见过这么讨厌的主角。“阁楼上的疯女人”故事题材也很老套，因此哪怕被赖特充塞自己的各种审美怀旧cult趣味，也一点不觉得就可惜了这部片。想不出还能换其他什么拍法才扶得起这么“无聊的讽刺”阿斗剧，赖特也算是被“拖累”了——《僵尸肖恩》的水准嫁接到这么个本子上就显得很蠢。全片还滥用60‘s歌曲，好看也就罢了，难看的话，再好听的歌都得把人折磨到要快进。

"This is London. Someone has died in every room in every building and on every street corner in the city."
挺特别的。错位重合，视觉感很奇妙。有些桥段，欢快乐曲配紧张氛围，反差美。
電影本身實在是中規中矩的一般，再扣一星給這個自以為是的反轉結局吧，就是說明明過去的事看到了那麼多，怎麼偏偏最重要的事情完全看反了呢？除了導演唬我故意想反轉外，我實在找不到合理的解釋。然後這部片的視角也實在無法讓人輕易代入，不是一個能夠得到大多數人共鳴的片子。而且稍微有一點小題大做，這種60年代的悲劇應該上演了無數次，怎麼女主看到被嚇成那種鬼樣子，真的是有些沒有見過世面的既視感，反應很過激，而且最後所有男人在那求救也很好笑，就有什麼好求救的呢，真的是令人莫名其妙。對了，最後結尾那三件新設計的衣服還不如原來那三件，更別說原來那三件也挺普通，有時候看還以為女主是大肚子，腹部鼓起的很厲害
前半段很有ALL THAT JAZZ的潜质，且因为前面太抓人导致后面画风转变让人觉得龙头蛇尾。不过Edgar Wright的Visual还是很值得一看，McKenzie和Anya也是双厨狂喜了。
歌曲达到了滥用的程度，比《极盗车神》更甚，但本片的故事又复杂了点，整体效果还不如车神。自《热血警探》达到巅峰后，埃导的水平稳定下降，假如《极盗车神2》的口碑降至谷底也未尝不是好事，希望他能找回当初那个有趣的自己。另外，安雅的妆容可能是她所有角色里最逊的一个。
不会真有人觉得嫖客死了就会变得很可怕吧？不会真有人觉得妓女反杀就是大反转吧？导演对性别运动的嘲讽振聋发聩啊，何必结尾再一番讨好呢？到底有没有ball啊兄弟？
emmmmmmmmmmmmm我觉得还是不错的。。anya确实美
文本内容差强人意，风格还有回味的空间。熟悉的埃德加·赖特式转场，不过作为恐怖片，这部电影的剪辑节奏反倒比早期几部慢了许多
悬疑的张力有些虎头蛇尾，有太多支线任务反而失焦
不看分类还以为是个午夜巴黎，结果看完了才发现是个反杀版前程似锦的女孩，就，虽然是我的问题但还是很地铁老人手机
知道为什么现在的衣服和音乐都那么难听了吧……连Edgar wright都不能相信了
為什麼我喜歡的美少女最近大屏幕的片都演這麼慘的⋯
