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.
太可惜了。
11.1 我现在在家看恐怖片好像吓不到了，但是我还是很喜欢看温子仁拍的电影，温子仁的运镜就真的非常温子仁。这一部居然出人意料的不是鬼片。Gabriel的movement，一动的多了动的快了，就不对了，就变成了Madison的了，有被笑到。
整体上不怎么恐怖，甚至有点搞笑是怎么回事？监狱变身那一段，把胳膊硬往后掰，对不起，我真的笑了，哈哈。
嗯……剧情有点太老套了，如果你看过《哈利波特与魔法石》，一定和我一样早早就猜到了最后的反派是怎么样的了。
后半段想象力挺好的，但是就整体套路到3000个好莱坞的级别
1因为被剧透为啥国内能过审加上说是科幻片，剧情基本猜得七七八八了。结果真的没有鬼……恐怖体验直接打骨折。2妹妹这个角色太可爱了吧，又耍宝又勇敢。真好啊，姐妹情深。3大家吹得太过了，这部真的好普通。戳不到我。可以看看，但真的没那么神。
HMAX 1080p，《招魂》恐影+《电锯惊魂》悬疑血腥，又和《海王》一样加进去一些很酷的元素比如倒走人、房间变换和铅黄cool music，打光像达里奥阿基多，温导镜头还是真厉害。但是风格和元素多样，观感上稍有割裂感。只有看到后面才知道为啥这片能在大陆上线（而《招魂》不能）的原因。btw正片片长内地版1.41.35 国际版1.47.25
PS：这片确定不和《关灯后》安排在同一宇宙吗😂
三天分三次看完，温子仁元素都在，开头的长段过度片头，结尾的反转。这是温子仁第一部没有出现真鬼的恐怖片，风格确实挺像上个世纪的意大利铅黄电影，血浆部分很爽，但本片的缺点也很明显，过早地揭露反派，让故事缺乏了悬疑性，属于温导中等水平作品
1.5倍速熬了整整90分钟无聊到挠破头的剧情后，片子终于揭示了它的谜底，就……港片30年前的创意吧。比起它的难看，我更纳闷它体现出的恐怖片类型的整体停滞，莫非是精神病锁死了这个片种的发展进化？这还是温子仁，更令人绝望
过于80s的灯光，舞台剧式B级片的置景，切到现实时无滤镜的设计，以及就要感到无聊换台时终于出现的反转大高潮，真是……不愧是你。已经到了玩转风格和技术的级别了，动作戏乱入却也简单干脆到爽，一本满足。
正版影视的受害者，很明显警局屠杀和切肿瘤那段被剪了，算了就当给招魂和安娜贝儿系列补票吧。ps.温子仁拍《控制》肯定也很好看，当然是跟纽伦瓦尔不一样的好看。
全程1.5X。说实话，挖掘下东南亚恐怖传说的IP都比这个强吧。6.7/10 21/09/10
另外这部电影真的不恐怖，请放心食用，R级的程度也就只有个别画面比较血腥，与其说是恐怖片，为什么看到后面我觉得更像是动作片？还有，结局太过于突然了，警察局事件如何收场都没交代清楚，不管怎么说，强行爱与正义的收尾很不现实。
不是鬼片，也足夠可怕了，故事走向很不溫子仁，反轉也好猜，但幾處驚嚇戲碼依舊是快狠准，後半段的血漿也非常精彩。

其实像昆汀的一些片子一样，是一部对老电影的致敬之作，但手法上基本是元素挪用，比如铅黄和柯南伯格的身体恐惧之类的，当然能解读出一些女性主义的内涵，然而对一些关键性戏剧元素缺乏解释，会造成混淆与语意缺失。
很合我口味的调查破案类影片，追凶寻迹，氛围营造非常有感觉，说到底最后的颅内决战也是招魂式温情驱魔仪式。地下城追逐战和警局屠杀戏都尽显温子仁在拍完《海王》之后的调动能力。当然，剧情本身的逻辑漏洞也是挺厉害的，警方战力拉胯是一方面，难道警方就没法用上下颠倒的指纹验出凶手本尊吗？
不太爱看恐怖片，但这部是我喜欢看的。不要看删减版，后面感觉有点信条的感觉，最后爽爆了！
配乐和氛围感都很棒，但是故事总感觉差了点力道。
