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.
可惜了，前面一大堆有的没的让一部优秀的恐怖片直接掉了一星，设计不错，中立邪恶的神的设计非常不错，献祭仪式再邪恶一点就好了，而且两兄弟作为邪神仆人神智没被污染实属差了点意思
献祭活人给古神，以获得祝福的回报。面对这样的诱惑，屠龙之人是否终成恶龙？
制作精良，但外来移民的主题或者女性的主题，都流于表面，没有深入，甚至还跑题了。
Somehow kinda like it …
结尾口嗨导演、制片人……，连替身都没有放过，这娘们儿是个狠人啊！
反智女主大战寄生怪物，有几处因为过于无脑甚至让人笑出声。
头也太晕了…but灵媒差就差在这里了…（白左女真的很可怕，比邪灵还可怕
好烂啊 前三分之二都不知道在铺垫什么 最后高潮部分也挺拉垮的 等到好不容易变得有意思了它又完了。
chaotic！绝对入列我个人的年度乐子电影。女主疯癫出格欠得浑然天成，出色的选角让电影全程都处于精神病式的末日狂欢氛围。罗布·萨维奇两年前拍的还是中规中矩的桌面伪恐，不过一年就打造出这样一部狂乱之作，是他本人越发大胆还是这个操蛋世界本身就愈来愈绝望疯狂呢。
5.0。惊吓有限 氛围取胜 算同类电影里 故事讲的比较完整的。从始至终 设计都比较用心 古文物做旧的很贴谱 质感一下子就起来了。最掉分一点 故事太过依赖女主的噩梦推进 这类情节讲究一出其不意 每次让人猜到 挺没意思的。没来由的 借个引子又黑一把尼哥 好莱坞想抹黑就抹黑 没差。女主用实际行动 践行一条真理：既打不过 就加入它。
比起大多数百分之八十的时长都在神神叨叨的伪纪录片，这部算不错了，情节够丰富，缺点是晃起来实在太晃有一整段我都没看清，女主真的很烦，“女主怎么还没被打死”和“摄像机怎么还没摔坏”堪称两大bug。不过总体来说比我想象的好
前後段有點脫節，這個獻祭和怪物其實和移民沒有什麼太大的關係，電影一下子從女主困苦的現實生活變成公寓大面積鬧鬼然後又突然開始獻祭，太跳了，不過怪物做的還挺有意思的
还不错，就是太晃，怪物看不清楚。最后还有一丢丢克苏鲁。
三分给颜值 扣一分给男主的sb小辈 强凑CP还硬要别人在一起 真的无语又三八(¯―¯٥)
怪物昆虫与血肉融合的质感太惊艳了，蝶翼幻化为赘皮，两条蜘蛛般的后肢连接着巨大的手掌，干燥的抚摸有种诡异的温柔，当她站立于女主上方时，身下的嘴垂落黏液，仿佛要吞噬一切，又仿佛一切皆由她分娩。
魔鬼只能对善良的人下手而已，特别针对信任的人进行剥削，黑人女&厂老板本质都跟魔鬼立场是一致的。
节奏真的好慢好慢，一点都不恐怖，就是最后怪物的造型稍微有点看点，还不错。
好想看清楚这个怪物哪怕一秒。主角设定有点加分
最终外星BOSS那么恐怖的身躯却需在精神层面上的无所畏惧!而这个无所畏惧的女人却无法好好的在这个社会生活! 女权或者是隐喻？ 底层人民的挣扎！
鬼灵关上了她所有的门和窗给她留了一个石洞，落魄女反客为主成了诡屋的新主人。
