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.
不知所云，故弄玄虚，和小丑回魂比差了十万八千里
2022 美国电影 恐怖 伊桑霍克 梅森·泰晤士 玛德琳·麦格劳
碇真嗣大战变态杀人魔，勇敢的少年啊快去创造奇迹！ 7/16 @ Golden Village Vivo City
7/10 就有点stranger things x IT的感觉。可圈可点。
《怪奇物语》类电影，我看的挺带劲，鬼魂大战变态杀人犯。伊桑霍克演变态驾轻就熟
耐心看下去值三颗星，但是叙事模式是怪奇物语那种长铺垫，东区梦魇那种社区家庭学校伦理日常类型，可以说开始是很没意思的，后期出现鬼也是没什么意思的，唯一有意思的是和坏人的智斗武斗，如果拍成密室逃亡类型，没有鬼，会更带劲，缩短铺垫减少伦理戏剧部分，能得高分！
小女孩通灵是打雷biopic吧哈哈哈 小男孩长的好像霍克
Good child performances and very cathartic ending
可怜的坏人的哥哥，比警察强。
人鬼合作，复仇逃生。
打了一小时电话。
看完电影我只能说，我真想拥有一个这样刚的姐姐或者妹妹，有人欺负我就操砖头的姐姐或者妹妹。
情节设置很新颖，那几个被害的孩子太可怜了，绝望揪心的故事，好在最后合力反杀了。卧槽，这个变态竟然是伊桑霍克？？？完全没认出来，以他的咖位，那确实是打酱油的，妹妹做梦的设定，对情节推动也没有什么意义。剧情存在bug，但是故事不错
Good child performances and very cathartic ending
有马沙特那感觉，其实走的也是爽片风格，小孩结尾暴揍反派。
近些年自《怪奇物语》以来，少年冒险恐怖片开始蓬勃。《84年夏天》《恐惧街》《无辜者》《冥房》层出不穷。可惜我一部都看不上，特别是这部，鼓励勇敢无畏确实是应该给孩子传输的思想，但是面临实力悬殊且残忍变态的凶手，你可否想过这样做，大概率失败的后果。《八四年夏天》明显比这部深刻且有意义。现在老美拍这种不痛不痒的复古恐怖片饱和了，真不如去看看老片《猛鬼街》《鬼追人》《阶梯下的恶魔》原汁原味，最起码说教意味不那么浓，并非所有的同童年回忆，都只是普通意义上，为无聊的生活乐趣的冒险，记忆是会欺骗人的
回归电影本身，算是中规中矩的电影，不需要太深刻的思索。
前面看着有些懦弱
我以为结尾会有什么精彩的反转 没想到真就简单的离谱 有很多剧情你以为有什么用 结果啥用没有
好一个密室逃脱的爽片，npc给的线索最后都用上了
