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.
疯了，神经兮兮又恶心得不得了的定格动画，隐喻的东西不好妄加猜测。
现在竟然还有这种电影...一点剧情没有？一点看不下去...视频作品集的感觉...跟堆砌词藻没啥区别就是无聊
丘吉尔活成了大英帝国的面子，张伯伦活成了大英帝国的里子？绥靖主义应该不会重演吧。张伯伦选择绥靖，是基于“要和平不要战争”的强大民意，当下不是那样的舆论环境。
搞的这么cult，最后居然还是揭露一个简单的道理，人类自己给自己带来末世？但手工定格 这个工作量让人敬佩
本来该很恶心的，然而却没有!
随便说两个片段：
看了前两部分，还是不错的。属于那种有隐喻但没必要细究跟着电影走自由遐想就行的默片。
没有一句台词，层出不穷的怪物，充斥着黑暗血腥场面，奈何我就是不太感冒。
用定格动画的形式制作的长篇恐怖片，工作量巨大，因此非常罕见。巴别塔，黑石碑，电击，吞粪，畸形人，剥皮表演，活体解剖，婴儿献祭，宇宙大爆炸，典型的欧美人爱的猎奇血浆片，脓和屎尿很足。观看过程是彻头彻尾的噩梦。
p.s吃饭时看的，被自己离谱到...
很重口 简直了 这片子真的简直了 想说些什么 但啥也说不出来
定格/粘土动画做成这样已经很牛逼了，作为猎奇向的动画也非常出类拔萃。
我太期待了！！！！！！！！/迷影与乡愁 其实很正统的

制作真牛啊……构思、造型、流畅度、精致度、布景、打光都是定格动画最高水准，很难想象工作量究竟有多大，堪称奇迹了
太狂了 导演本人是地球人？这片子真够噩梦变态的
人类高质量男同片 /// 可以为了结尾升四星……未来有太多比夏日的那场决裂更残酷的事情。
暗黑版的《工作细胞》
末世噩梦，实验性很强，能引申出许多世界设定
没完全看懂却无比震撼。
