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.
對節奏舒緩的folk horror一直都不是很感冒，但是意外地很喜歡這一部（也許我應該再給《羊崽》一次機會
非常反感这个导演的镜头语言，手持摄录怼着脸拍，从头到尾都是。看的晕不但止，传播的信息也非常单一。文艺片有个好处就是拍的烂也有能看懂的人，因此不讨论剧情。
确实有些过于煽情，不过倒也是好看的，而且挺感人。
徐玄振演技太可以了！ps 什么时候可以实行安乐死就好了
这应该就是暗黑版童话故事吧。如果是格林兄弟，会不会把这个改编成另一个世界名著童话故事呢。
[视]R血，露点。劳米戏份有限，整体枯燥，日常琐碎，当地人文，西方闹洞房文化，幻化变形<孵化>，多人合饰一角<内在美>
作为恐怖片来说不恐怖，但作为文艺片来说确实还可以！看不懂很正常，主要是去体会感受！
晃的快要yue出来的镜头+不知所云的台词+及其单调的场景，文艺恐怖片儿？I don’t get it
絮絮低语的旁白，古朴美丽的山村风景，失焦放大的镜头，令人迷糊的哲学文艺范来了。
3.5，过于文艺，台词、旁白很少，但前期台词根本看不懂，过程中视听感受中你总能体会到些什么，大自然的原始，看到最后更像是部治愈片
「仙后座」的比喻很恰当，因为讲的是守护与指引。深沉的父爱+「照顾」的传承，由疾病引申出的是深深的亲情羁绊与依赖。从家庭角度去审视与剖析病患的「内心层」，那种想要自杀一了百了的心境几乎感同身受。演员演技不错，虽然某些情节略显突兀与刻意，但整体表现手法到位，在一定程度上依旧能触动人心，温暖治愈。（不足是剧情推进稍有拖沓，一些与主线无关剧情略显出戏）
表现力一般般，体验不同人生或者狗生等等，拉不起来那种感觉，太文艺，没有表现力

披着恐怖外衣的文艺片，奔着恐怖看这部电影只能是失望，文艺青年们可能看到落泪，而我只有昏昏欲睡。
本来会是一部更黑暗更有话题度更有冲击感的典中典致郁片的，但导演却选择了点到为止来给予观众温度这一点上真的很钦佩
记忆连同尊严一起一点点被吞噬的感觉，真是令人绝望
