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.
沒看過原著，但是，無論是誰，都會有錯，這點沒說錯，最後，改正或接受懲罰就好。最近的很多事都一再刷新著認知，呵呵。
一部不错的电影，但也可见台湾电影的逐步衰退，更让人怀念杨德昌的时代，有力又克制。
术士还去啥艾瑞图萨啊，跟着猎魔人学法印好了，这威力也太猛了
怪物起源，为了有解决麻烦的空间而制造麻烦！
巫师游戏玩家必看。魔药，符文，剑法，妖灵，振动的狼头项链，算是比较忠实的还原了游戏。对凯尔莫罕被灭的原因虽然相对于游戏做了改动，但也不能说不合理。
虽然剧情胡说八道，但不考虑原著的话，动画素质不错
年代细节用心，剧作和表演都时好时坏，这里好的标准就是自然
撕扯后缝合，窒息又刺痛。要是没有陈绮贞的片尾曲的话会抑郁…🙏🏻
18/11/2021 @ K11 Art House。典型華人家庭”大家迫死大家但心裡其實很愛你”的故事 // 方郁婷表現非常不錯 // 難怪JVR會投資啊原來用了3首周杰倫的歌
對03年的SARS印象確實不及如今那麼深刻，那時候有做咽喉採樣的嗎？以及分診的醫護們防護也這麼完善的嗎？林嘉欣都瘦到脫相快要瘦成張靜初了。這個關於移民還處在爸爸國內賺錢媽媽國外帶娃的初期階段就因為疾病而被迫回流的故事，屬於是可以想像到的真實。
家人啊，我们表现多恨彼此也多爱彼此。姐姐一双眼睛太漂亮了，好会说话，这个小演员一定会很厉害。
毫无征兆的完结，一方面感觉争吵都有点过，一方面又觉得真的想看到讨论的点又不够深。也能理解主创想要刻意淡化的部分，只是仍觉得有点遗憾。
Vesemir的光辉岁月，剧情和制作质量对我来说都比较一般。连着三部动画看的我对Netflix的冠名/外包的动画都失去了兴趣。
维瑟米尔年轻的时候这么帅吗？最后的那个光头小孩是白狼？
讲不通就打，毫不比比，在动画电影的形式中，血浆喷洒也比真人电影设计起来更无拘无束~
有几场戏让人共情，与母亲的争吵，永远容不进的团体，美国回来大概只是一个设定，让芳仪与这个世界格格不入，也让母亲和芳仪听不见对方的声音。高潮在芳仪与那批马的对话，就好像母亲和芳仪，希望对方能带上缰绳……另一方面也说明了东方文化对于女子的规训……无论是母亲还是芳仪，都在被藤条不断的敲打，成为“真正”一个女人成为一个母亲…
不考虑魔改质量还不错，就没人考虑过按原著来拍吗
虽然但是，我们都需要水花，但不是给Ta戴上枷锁。
自传成分浓厚的导演处女作。2003年非典肆虐的背景呼应当下，小女主身上中美两种文化并存而成为潜在的叙事冲突。本以为会有更多戏剧化情节，却发现导演逐渐抛却社会、文化、政治这类宏观话题，转向家庭内部关系的刻画，特别是母女间的情感演变，从亲密羁绊到激烈对峙，正好验证了“爱与恨总是一体两面的”。至于母女两人关系激化是外部疫情、妈妈身上的疾病，还是小女主对东西方文化冲击的不适，导演没有明确交待。最后两母女的和解，倒是伴随着疫情消退而出现，算是将外部大环境连结上家庭内部的亲子关系。
和原著设定出入太大，完全变成奈飞的猎魔人宇宙了
