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.
包袱反转设计的还不错，摄影和音乐也很赞，就是故事打磨的不是特别好，当然也算网剧里比较出色的
网大拍出这种质感是值得鼓励的，但是温温吞吞讲了一个没那么精彩的故事还是让我看的昏昏欲睡。
有些镜头语言其实很好，喜欢林音的女演员身上的那种忧郁和眼神，两个小时太墨迹了，重情绪而少悬疑感，总体还是可以的。22.06.20
舞蹈宣传片 摄影有质感工业水准在线 剧情注水严重 叙事节奏极其拖沓 剧情小bug层出不穷 悬疑的部分故弄玄虚 人物的动机和交集牵强且单薄 干瘪又臭又长
脸盲真的看到一大半才勉强分清几个女主的长相，选角能不能操点心……悬疑谈不上悬疑，有点神神叨叨的，节奏拖沓，一个悬疑凶杀案拍的这么絮叨让人走神也是可以。总是有一些美术摄影高于叙事的成分在。
情节3星
太刻意了，从故事到选角，整个电影设计感太明显且突兀，问题是还有很多讲不清楚的地方想要通过摄影掩盖，得亏是网大，要是上院线问题就暴露无遗了
电影本身，拍摄很棒，故事一般（最大的悬疑点应该是队长这个处事风格和能力，怎么做到队长这个位置的，只会大吼大叫，尽管癌症，但也不至于这么折腾一个“无关紧要的“男主吧）。 说拍摄的好是因为场景逼真，那个时代小镇的故事，总是让人有一种舒服（无忧无虑，单纯朴实）但又不舒服（物是人非）的感觉。
在现在的国产片里已经很不错了！不论是节奏还是叙事很连贯！
看到一半基本上就知道来回反转了，总体还不错
服道化还行，拍摄布光比较用心，但剧情却善可陈，依靠一个随便画像就惟妙惟肖的人推进剧情格外让人出戏
只是大结局处理的太过文字！差点火候啊！勉强四星
在现在的国产片里已经很不错了！不论是节奏还是叙事很连贯！
看影评对这部电影评价颇高，但就我自己的观感而言，是一件平铺直述的半悬疑电影
剧情太差劲了，但画面还不错。逻辑完全错误，一开始的认尸，主任的问题也没下文，两个女主的友谊莫名其妙，70年代末芭蕾舞服装那要犯流氓罪的，被强奸的女子没死但也没下文了。
取景，空镜，色调，视觉语言都让人舒服，导演&摄影有点东西，缺点在于剧情弱且细节少。知青，舞者，文工团...泛黄的岁月的灰尘，永远戳心的题材。我来了，时代却走了。
怎么说呢...现在的影视剧越来越难以描述。挺好，好像又不太好。中规中矩吧，色调有点难受，没有新意。就还行，一般，挺好，不差。
咋说呢…镜头真的好生涩，感觉一下就能看出来导演没拍过多少片子，结果点开导演主页一看，果然是…有《杀人回忆》的滤镜，没有其内涵。如果单纯当作悬疑片来看也有点牵强，觉得人物在被剧本推着走，很机械的感觉。三颗星，全给那段舞。
反转的过多了 最后一个还没有说服力
5.3，摄影品味不俗，美术可以过关，但编剧和导演真的很拉胯，编剧bug遍地，导演不知道哪儿下机位，不知道该用谁的视角讲故事，不知道一场戏里应该关注谁跟谁，空镜不是分隔符，空镜是叙事，有表意的好吗？剪辑就是一通胡剪，最不要脸的是宣发，什么“我们错过了戛纳”……要点脸可以么？戛纳跟你有什么关系？下作！
