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.
呈现效果本可以更好的，剧情转折开始就变得混乱了
AMC DOLBY 前半段可以给到4星，后半段剧情一下就垮掉了，看得不耐烦起来。Dolby充分展现了导演的画面审美，镜头剪辑也让人印象深刻，如果剧本和人物能再写得好一些就是部上乘的惊悚悬疑类型片，有点可惜。Thomasin好漂亮好灵动，原来就是jojo兔里的那个犹太女孩儿。
有盆栽反正就直接吹爆;其实原本可以做成更具社会性的主题的,当然现在这个也很不错
哇哦，原谅我不想剧透……
60s复古服装，60s复古音乐，60s复古舞和60s复古女郎
技法纯熟，杂糅拼贴，没有以前那么反结构。前半段还在质疑埃德加·赖特也开始蹭女性，慢慢发现点不一样，看似不共戴天的性别对立，背后其实是权力对普通人的异化，恐怖的永远是绝对权力。观点不见得多高明，只是能在这些年这股正确浪潮中保持清醒，就眼前一亮了。唯一不喜欢的是结尾处理得太俗气。
上半段实在是breath taking，每一帧都扎在心里；下半段不得不说有点崩坏，与上半段所展现的野心不符，可惜啊可惜（于是导致我一边观影一边自行脑补两女主上演人鬼情未了，虽阴阳两隔但产生了一段彼此爱怜、催人泪下的旷世奇恋）（这个本的话我可以打一万分）（不如我来写剧本？）
感觉从《我们》来的一面镜子照见一个人的两个后脑勺这个创意被发扬光大了，粉色的裙子配金色蓬蓬的头发加上Downtown的舞蹈的安雅太美了。以及果然酒吧小妹乱蓬蓬的头发和浓厚的眼妆不值一提练成的。一百次的死亡之后都练成平和的绝望了，安雅的悲惨也太好哭了。
一群死男人们活该
形式感作的挺好的，文本山上的努力能看到成效。艺术指导也充分发挥了年代特色。技术艺术表达都完成度很高。
为60年代女孩的活力和性感加一星，血色中恍然而过的面容，力度刚好，让残忍的场面惊悚加分
反转大可不必，而且还把前面的剧情搞得很矛盾。多一星给配乐和我嗑到了
导演的镜头语言真的不是一般的高级 配乐也是真的好听哭
是fashion學生看完會生氣的程度，幸好沒去電影院浪費時間。兩星是給今敏的，完完全全是在看一套不成功的大雜燴
this hits too close to home 女主甚至一开始的卧室上就挂着我每天上班都要走过的路 无法客观评分 比预期低还是还是挺好 但是的确该爱导的很多东西没有展现出来 不知道是摸鱼了还是在干什么
虽然演到一半已经猜到结局的反转，但还是不得不说真的不错的片子！现实与女孩见鬼完美结合，复古年代的安雅太明艳美丽。girls help girls，女主真是活见鬼了~
挺可惜的 很多不错的元素 被惊恐尖叫女孩被到处追赶的老套故事框架浪费掉了 全程注意力离不开Thomasin精致的鼻子 当然还有一出来就自带主角星光 她不红谁红的Anya (这部竟是Dame Diana Rigg的最后遗作)
无比丝滑酣畅的视听盛宴，看着真是享受。霓虹、镜像与幻觉的元素，电影语言炫目又高级。纸醉金迷下的腐坏，一场绮丽的恶梦。复古配乐也好好听。

有铅黄电影的影子，幽灵群的形象设计很有感觉
