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.
Grace请一直这样长下去，未来影坛自有你一席之地
并不知道是由傲慢与偏见改编的，挺惊喜，改编的还挺好，各人物剧情都对上了，而且激发出了很久没感受到的悸动，就挺好的。
无论你是来看帅哥美女还是来找乐子，你都能如愿以偿。
比尔莫瑞四五十年前演的超能敢死队我是没看过的，直接看了这部2021年的《超能敢死队》，倒是也蛮欢乐。
虽说奥斯汀奶奶泉下有知传世经典被这样改编后可能会惊得复活，但不可否认整体还是挺新颖有趣。2022.06.05
尚且算是个情怀之作，或者是缅怀之作。前半段太慢太长，后半段太无厘头太没逻辑。不过确实适合小朋友看。
可能不是死忠粉，所以很多彩蛋都没有get，质量来说一般，不过怀旧牌打的太好，小女主前途无量
需要有情节才能看，两点不好，我不喜欢小孩演的电影，结尾太差劲
失败的套壳，最终呈现出来的效果是又抓马又无聊。很现代化，很理想化，说有内涵吧，故事完全套壳还改的不好很多地方逻辑不通；说肤浅吧，明明有颜有肉结果拍出来的观感甚至不如小时代。伯文的表演还挺惊喜的，完全跳出SNL的感觉了；Joel就差强人意，感觉还不如一众配角水平在线。作为骄傲月的流媒体开篇，以经典做底子，配上有话题度的卡司，给了人们过高的期待值。然而成片里我们看到的却又只是烂俗的政治正确灯红酒绿，浮夸拙劣没诚意也没创新，总结就是真的就是我配着骄傲滤镜都无法违心的说它好，真的就是三流网大的质量吧…
重启定位不明确都是索尼老毛病了，进入新世纪的第二个十年，好莱坞所有大厂都陷入创意困境，于是纷纷重启或是延续自己手中过去经典的银幕IP。而索尼似乎经常搞不清方向，始终处于试水状态。《捉鬼敢死队》之前性格好莱坞女性市场和价值观，重启了一版，走的屎尿屁戏剧风格，最终口碑不佳，导致重启崩盘。而本片则是原系列的真正续作，满满都是致敬的元素，甚至请来原版的主演来为已经去世的哈罗德告别，算是结结实实卖了一波情怀。可刨除这些看本片，其实是完全推翻了过去的视点，转而用近年经常出现的青少年身份来推进故事。但两个小时的剧情，拖沓乏味，又缺少具有实质意义的内容。看似导演像接力经典去找到某些全新的内容形式和故事角度，可无奈质量有限，反而被情怀妥了后腿，完全在致敬中迷失了自我。
这是西餐妹的Dream fantasy吧。gay version of “pride & Prejudice”
因为muna唱了里面的歌去看的，真是让我本就不快乐的一天雪上加霜，不想再看烂片了。
槽点真的很多，美国的幽灵都是实心的。为什么还有美国韦一敏joke？
我们这儿不仅是大环境不行，同性恋都差个几十年去理解这种态度
低幼版敢死队 小演员们和鬼都是过家家似的 paul rudd则是在什么电影里都可以发光。可能是情怀给欧美影迷打分上加分不少 如果单纯看这一部真的不咋行。
因为muna唱了里面的歌去看的，真是让我本就不快乐的一天雪上加霜，不想再看烂片了。
好尴尬的剧情，感情线比剧情还尴尬。
当时看预告片的时候以为是TXL drama电影，到中间快结尾的时候发现还蛮浪漫的，中间也不乏小的笑点和TXL的一些小Drama，最后一对的告白和另一对的hug和BGM值得二刷，两人的姐妹情也让人好羡慕
据说是借用了傲慢与偏见的。但不得不说前期引入很生硬。后面就好很多。
致敬逝去的回忆，对，这个电影也可以一起去世了
