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.
《下水道鼠人》4⭐半，《守灵人》4⭐，《科学怪人》4⭐，《爆炸吸血鬼》3⭐，很吃这种第一视觉的伪记录片，第一视角代入感极强。
总体感觉还行。第三个拼接机器人的故事今年颇有盛名。
整体故事我没联系起来，但是殡仪馆和实验室的那段比较精彩，这种第一视角的游戏类电影还是代入感不错的。
整體來說，機器人與人融合這個故事算是幾個故事中觀賞性和隱喻性平衡度最好的一個。
但到了大砍刀机械人和凤梨亿齿人就只有等待虐杀的悬念和视觉享受了
实验室故事最佳，不过画面看上去像cg
《守灵》、《鼠人》最佳，印尼那个属于自嗨，和主题根本不搭。
11/10/21：我到底看了些什么呢？这是一部血淋淋的cult片子。虽然是很原始有点新意，但是一点营养也没有。其它的部分不予置评，但在创意上给3.5星吧。- 新加坡
什么啊乱七八糟的 感觉还不如3 第四个故事是真喜剧nm 拿吸血鬼的血当生化武器亏你们能想出来
是挺致命的，但录像带好不好看就因人而异了。
看的晕的不行，想吐🤮，没太大意思，并且无聊的瞌睡着了，两星给充足的血浆吧
第三个故事机械女挺好，甚至可以拍部长片。总得来说没有前几部好看，主线跟支线小故事关联性也不大。
想说先看一会儿打发时间，结果一不小心全看完了，够血腥，够cult。
午夜十二点，观影完毕。没有恐惧，只有反胃！
啊啊啊太喜欢了！尤其机改造肉体那一部分！特别可爱特别怪医芙兰！！！呜呜呜人机就是最可爱的😭😭😭
太太太太太nb了，改造人故事就像游戏 我爱cult
最后一部录像带真的莫名搞笑，就是说临走前想让大家轻松一下吗
第一次看录像带系列，还蛮喜欢的。摄像头人造人cool，雨夜守灵味道足，吸血鬼的血遇光发生爆炸这种想法真妙。
血腥 肢解 朋克 重口 吸血鬼。喔嚯，这脑洞怕是已经看不见地球了。
鼠人我喜欢 机器改造那个完成度超高 只是我没想到就真的是全程做旧特效啊 接受不了
