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.
升米恩斗米仇。丑恶的人心比妖魔鬼怪可怕多了。
你要说层层规矩拍不出好作品，我就一个呸字，就算是斋菜，手艺好，用心做，能不美味?很欣慰看到网大在没太多人关注的情况下，能够发展到现今的状况，虽然情商依旧很多，比如台词润色一般都比较粗糙，但整体节奏的把握和剧情设置，都已经可以算是及格以上了。前半部分的狐妖故事和后半部分的人比鬼恶，整体的衔接下，确实跟很多人说的一样，有了八恶人和罗生门的影子，最重要的是逻辑能够自洽，这点很是可以了，总体上瑕不掩瑜，接近七分水准了，算是近几年网大恐怖题材里的佳作……
女主和阿文的交心——精神伴侣吧我理解是。女主破碎的家庭不想让别人乱碰；阿文的童年阴影导致的身患性病，两个孤独的人彼此依靠救赎着。站在上帝视角的我：揪心极了，你俩赶紧凑一块。当然冷淡的旁观者并不这么认为，自以为是伸张正义的媒体言论和舆论吧。
网大竟然还不错！我以为船家身份会是男主呢！
竟然拍的还可以。恶人凑到一起真的什么事儿都可以干出来
剧中所有的不开心，都能被一个人、一段关系治愈。在觉得被生活打脸的时候，这部电影能温暖到你。像是寒冷的冬夜，下着雪、刮着风，一个人走走进一家咖啡店，接一杯热拿铁，瞬间有一股暖意，能驱走几分寒冷。
无论再说多少遍，世俗的眼光与看法都是正确的，绝对正确
没有流量的网大剧，可以看出编剧的用心，演员也都充满血肉，挺不错的
有点儿意思，狐仙鬼怪没法搞，倒开辟出了《罗生门》式的人性悬疑故事。
叙事方面比导演前作《兴安岭猎人传说》更成熟，完成度更高。故事虽然无特意之处，但讲述方法还是维持了一定的悬念，国内的网大要是都能有这水准真就不错了。不过，罗生门云云谈不上，只是手法相似。真正的罗生门式叙事说的是不同的人讲同一事件，大同而小异，或半同而半异，本片几个角色讲述的则显然不是一个事件，甚至之间关联都很小。
没有想象中的差 但能感觉到各方面可以做的更极致更精致
国产民俗版《八恶人》，又有点像打本了，每个角色一段自己的视角，最后串起来还原成一个完整的故事。妖魔鬼怪之恶恶不过人心，不过是掩饰内心的遮羞布罢了。剧情饱满，结局带着宿命感的沉重和一丝希望。
人與人之間果然很難理解與共情啊 有很多我不能理解的地方 但不妨礙人物的悲慘命運 / 對橫濱流星僅存的好感在這部影片後消失殆盡
故事头尾可以自洽，甚至字幕完了还有个小有意思的彩蛋，还是不错的。然，从头到尾，对于取了个这种名字的电影，狐仙只是个幌子 ，不好意思，只能两星
网大中的佼佼者，拍成这样已经很不容易了，导演鬼才。在有限的资金里拍成这样，说明已经挖空了心思，说不定日后这导演能起飞。
建国后动物不能成精比较可惜。算网大中质量很高的了。
另:字幕播完有彩蛋
升米恩斗米仇。丑恶的人心比妖魔鬼怪可怕多了。
虽则生硬，更多诚意
