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.
猎奇+重口味，B级爽片，剧本太粗糙，个别镜头还是看得出用心去做的。
最近每天刷微博到深夜，看了太多恶心人、恶心事儿。
一开始有点意思，有点那味儿了，后面开始莫名其妙起来了...关爱老年人性生活（。其实还是有点不适，人老了就这么不堪了？总之，希望能看到Farmer's daughter正片（。
emmm，未成年就别看了，看的时候，如果跟家里人一起住的人，建议你还是带着耳机看吧，拍小电影剧组与变态杀人魔的对决。
情欲恐怖版美国梦，一个电影叙事的梦写出了美国梦的颓废底色。
本片深刻说明了性欲得不到满足滋生暴力。恐怖片看的不多，这是看的第一个用转场镜头吓人的。
我不喜欢它用音效故意吓人的那些片段，还有那些破环肢体的画面，引发生理不适
综合评定:★★★
A24出品，血浆片爱好者怪才导演缇·威斯特执导，《X》融合了个性与反叛，角色在与刻板印象对抗的同时，又迫不得已接受了身处恐怖片的命运，这便是那个时代下追逐美国梦的夸张描绘。
一星给被猎枪后坐力弹飞的老太太，一星给《农夫家的女儿们》。不知道有没有人看过10版的《新红楼梦》，aka“鬼楼梦”，里面的部分bgm太有鬼楼梦的氛围了，看得我哭笑不得笑到起飞。
摄影剪辑音效音乐都太棒了，海报就值得一星。
水中垂直视角拍鳄鱼那段可以列入年度镜头 其他也就还行 A24特别努力的用视听剪辑各种技术告诉观众他们拍得恐怖片和其他粗制滥造多么多么不一样 但其实也没太多不同啦 的确是高级那么一丢丢 看完真得有些害怕变老 面容衰败皮肤松弛“无人问津” 稍属于稍一想都非常可怕的程度 米娅这个选角挺好的 本身就有种很诡异的美
【12】——1—— 🔴 2022【26】 🔵 美国【53】
复古黄暴老年恐怖cult片，一锅大杂烩，片中最恐怖的是老年妇女的背后窥探和变态的需求。这也算此类片中的一个创新点，但看得颇为不适。除此之外片中再没有特别的地方。
这比苦悲更血腥，更恐怖，也更有历史意味，将美国小镇两个世代的道德冲突展现了出来。
铺垫太长了，镜头和配乐倒是挺有意思。其实老人也有性欲这件事是很正常的，只是人们往往难以启齿而已
情色、恐怖、暴力等元素的杂糅。可以两倍速观看。
浑身鸡皮疙瘩，配乐好嗨，镜头要是都做旧就好了，
可以去看下Weeknd的MV
