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.
最后几拳打得还蛮过瘾，但罪案和通灵嫁接得太糙了，70年代背景也是几口脏话和几下蛮力
5.“芬，这是最后一通电话了，从现在开始出去只能靠你自己了！”
最后的绝杀每一个小伙伴都没有白死，坑，铁栅栏，电话，冰箱肉，密码锁。居然是可以看下来纯英文字幕的哎……
扯蛋的地方过多，胜在节奏紧凑、调度还行和氛围稍微到位。
可怜伊桑霍克一张帅脸没机会露出来，倒露了一身膘。
始终认为恐怖片导演的自我修养应该是：要么相信科学，要么相信鬼神。两种信仰都不肯撒手叫人格分裂。很希望跟导演和编剧当面对质，你们到底信什么？糊弄观众是不行的，两头都不讨好。如果定义为高智商犯罪，显然信科学的观众不会买“托梦”的账：警察办案叫小女孩躺床上多做梦就可以，门牌号都可以梦得一清二楚，再搜罗线索太多余；如果鬼魂可以教小男孩打败掳童狂魔，用“黑色电话”以及加一些“密室逃脱”这种逻辑推理向情节同样显得毫无必要，鬼魂跟精神变态斗法，有点像“奥特曼大战哥斯拉”，是不同次元鬼扯的黑色喜剧，信鬼怪的人肯定不信鬼怪居然斗不过“麻瓜”。两套房子两种信仰，一套用来认认真真虐童，另一套用来招魂，很难不让人翻白眼。但感情线发展得很好，父亲不争气，两个孩子相依为命，最后的大团圆显得很治愈，三颗星都给兄妹大团圆。
离谱！离大谱！！再也不看披着讲精彩故事外衣的私货观点电影！！！
非常喜欢！送主角一首小学生精神领袖孤勇者，‘爱你孤身走暗巷，爱你不跪的模样’，哈哈非常适合他～最后的反杀帅呆了，尤其最后响起的电话，‘this is for you’，看的我都激动了～跟自己好朋友逐渐同步的挥拳动作也非常感人。不能说是恐怖片，可以说是一部非常精彩的悬疑作品吧，即使主演是小朋友也绝对不输成人～稍微有点遗憾的是对于绑架犯的动机没有过多描述，不过其实完全不影响观看和电影的主旨。
演技很怪，人物很怪，剧情也很怪，那些人的想法我也看不懂。。。。
三星半吧，反杀的有点简单，有几个镜头蛮可怕，整体还不错
惊悚童话，少儿爽剧。视听风格其实不错，中间太多无效铺陈就是了，显得龙头蛇尾
后半部分突然就变成了鬼片😅
鬼魂设定蛮好的，但是反派的动机也没有，面具掉了就0战斗力，太瞎了
最后几拳打得还蛮过瘾，但罪案和通灵嫁接得太糙了，70年代背景也是几口脏话和几下蛮力
超自然能力互换的小丑回魂，你不是一个人在战斗版的房间，反客为主版的小鬼当家。有些设定虎头蛇尾，面具是多重人格的切换键吗？看着像，也没说。有两个jumpscare吓人，其他也算紧张，搞得我睡前看着看着就熬夜了。破除恐童魔咒的方法是，找一些长得好点的熊孩子来演🙃结尾还挺励志挺感人，三星半
虽然剧本完成度比较高，但还是有点失望。本来以为是恐怖片，结果只是奇幻悬疑的儿童成长电影。成片更像是靠场外求助完成密室逃脱的真人秀，穿插参赛选手家庭背景介绍，游戏结束还有亲友团拥抱环节
倒也没有很恐怖。。。小男主让我幻视好多人😂
没有预期中精彩 最起码恐怖还不够 对于反派的刻画也基本没有 动机不明
和恐怖不沾边，算悬疑惊悚，兄妹情谊刻画得挺舒服。傻逼反派无动机无智商无战力，整个一个三无产品，绑到第六个人才没反杀实在有点不科学。
很棒的结构和剧本！很新颖～尤其是每一种曾经失败的逃生策略都没有浪费！！最后芬尼自信的模样爽爆了
