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.
讲真比院线那些子上映的国产电影好多了，3.5星，送半颗星激励下，小成本也可以拍好的
3.5多给半星鼓励，成片已经好过不少院线电影了。
第一次给网大打4星。如果强化一下女性地位（别太弱太黑化），演员表演到位一些，可以到5星了。另片名和海报可以优化一点。
故作深沉，实则肤浅无比，又一部各路解读比影片本身有“内涵”、有“想象力”的戛纳定制电影。两星全给蕾雅老师和这么多限制级镜头
崔走召还是有些本事的！他编剧就是招牌！电影瑕疵还是有的，天理昭彰报应不爽。罗生门式的设计，斗米恩，升米仇的文化教育不得不让人生寒。。。
柯南伯格的正常发挥，有抗体之后也不会再觉得它有多么的惊世骇俗，而且它的晦涩也让人看得很累。
表扬表扬吧，这两年兴安岭猎人传说等故事会风格的电影还是很不错的，和动不动大制作的垃圾相比，就好像平易近人的杂志故事，并不比沽名钓誉的作家作品差，甚至更靠谱。
真想扇那俩傻老娘们，再者说男主角眼熟的，那是家有儿女的键盘啊
最后的结尾应该是为了过审吧
网大真是太穷了，好剧本没有一个好团队真的很难拍出有质感，视听出色的电影，不过导演未来可期。

delivery和theme两方面都充满了刻意与雕琢，没看到血肉横飞的奇观，也没觉得堆叠出来的现代性批判多有攻击力，感觉这种电影的表达能力已经耗尽了。
Surgery is the new sex.
加油加油！！！希望这个团队能够有更好的电影拍出来！兴安岭猎人传说也不错！！！加油加油！
非常惊喜的国产恐怖片 几乎没什么槽点 在审核如此严格的情况下拍成这样非常不容易了 貌似鬼片 其实更是讲人性 人比鬼可怕
非常惊喜的佳作，比《中邪》要好，罗生门之五层皮。
不过比一般大电影强了，至少演员都很走心
还不错！国产的能拍到这地步，真是值得鼓励！还有就是谢锦这个角色的演员，怎么看怎么像薛之谦和王宁的结合体~~~
升米恩斗米仇，连土匪都不愿意打劫的人家，却被自己一直救济的村民害了全家。看到后面真希望有狐仙杀光全村，可惜并没有，哎……
