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.
看完会让人很想去海边会让人感叹年轻真好的一部片子。也很喜欢它的中文译名夏夜追风，很点题。女主穿着黄裙子骑着自行车对男主回眸一笑的场景真的很美。虽然剧情走向有点老套主旨也有点不太清晰（三星），但是因为拍得真的很夏天，因为到一个新的环境去寻找新的自己这个立意，因为海边、自行车、探索自己没做过的事、一群可以玩到一起的朋友、一起跳舞一起开party这些元素放在一块，我还是很难不喜欢这部美式小清新（加一星）。年轻真好——去海边去跳舞去交朋友去丢掉旧的枷锁去探索新的自己去疯去亲吻去爱！“人生很长，奥登，如果我们必须一直保持原来的自己那就太无聊了，你不觉得吗？”
可惜总体并不能算令人满意，情怀加了一星还多点。
勉强看了一半就看不下去了，实在是又慢又没意思
我想知道蘑菇如果回头再看HF剧场版，真的不会脸红么。。氪金游戏的剧情脚本写几十万字又有什么用，华丽的外表下根本不具备合格的故事架构，一旦动画化就原形毕露咯。
青春电影真是永远看不腻，看完好想买双vans阿hhh🤔
还是感动了一把。。。但是，蘑菇武内你们能不能请个靠谱的编剧本股东谢谢你们了！
这能有7分就离谱，我不如回去再看一遍泛式手书
两颗摇曳的心在夏夜的互相试探中逐渐靠近。Only broken people can save broken people.
医生归还十戒，游戏中屏幕前哭得稀里哗啦点开终章看到“仅有玉座残留”都会鼻子酸
话说的很好听，剧情有点失望，有种“最后一集了那就让大家都走个过场吧”的感觉，btw魔神柱是真滴ex，完全没必要专门把特效的💰花在这上面
一星给医生，一星给藤丸立香，一星给玛修，一星给芙芙

要是我十八岁的夏天也在海边遇见不一样的自己那也太棒了吧！
学妹牺牲的那一段泪目了，组长的独白很棒 。
事实证明，a社既不够上心，也不知道这部如此纯粹的粉丝向作品里，粉丝究竟想看些什么。
啊，青春，在迷惘不定中寻找方向的青春……最终她和他都找到了属于自己的光。
面对压倒一切的72柱魔神的绝望，贞德气势如虹的呼告，极天的流星雨，漫漫旅途中结识的英灵们，玛修屹立不倒的雪花之盾，医生最后的魔术，芙芙的牺牲理性，玛修向我伸来的手，最后一起眺望的那片蓝天……这本来应该是一个环环相扣，跌宕起伏，燃点泪点俱全的故事。可实际上这部剧场版如何呢？配音缺失，叙事拖沓，无意义的魔改，改编视觉小说该犯的错全犯了，不该犯的也犯了。故事大体还是那个故事，但不可避免的疏离感与割裂感已经彻底宣告了作品的失败，有限的几段惊鸿一瞥只是杯水车薪。即使原作相当优秀，但改编不是有手就行，有些作品确实还是比较适合留在纸上。当一个半小时匆匆逝去，我从麻木中清醒，终于意识到，我再也找不回当年那个热血沸腾的少年了。
没玩游戏（毕竟我是豹子头，玩不下去就弃了）后面的servant都认不出来了，就认识村姑，nero这些热门漂亮的emmmmmmm，anyway日文听着还是没感觉，等北美这边的英配吧（if there is）英文听着还是舒服。还有其实对fujimaro这个没感觉，觉得他就是主角光环强行烫死boss了，挺没意思的，well，至少他的那种只是为了活着的原因没有土狗那么fake了，但是依旧，喜欢不了
演出和分镜做的太糟糕了，还请不起豪华声优阵容导致英灵全员哑巴，连讨好老玩家都难新人看了更是满头问号，这种水平的剧场版真的不如不做
欧美青春电影什么时候可以在重返巅峰(///▽///)
