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.
没有流量的网大剧，可以看出编剧的用心，演员也都充满血肉，挺不错的
想要一个人冷静冷静的时候看这部电影很合适，但是情绪不到位就是感觉很怪
不过就是讲了贪官助纣为虐，贪婪人性啊巴拉巴拉
全程摆着做听力的架势看完了电影，不知道是不是因为这个我才没能欣赏到这部电影的好来。整部电影故弄玄虚，净是意识流镜头堆砌。电影剪进去的镜头谨遵原著几乎完全没有改动，但又删去了很多原著里很细腻的心理描写或者是人物性格的形成起因结果。本来就是童年和重逢后的场景穿插着叙事这样容易叫人混乱的方式，再加上大量的删减和让人摸不着头脑的阴暗文艺意识流镜头，整部电影显得非常老太婆裹脚布，又割裂混乱。所以果然是文艺片吗？哈哈哈。不过丝丝真的进步又大了，开心。
人设就挺BL风的…李导为啥选了这部小说改编有点令人费解
剧本有些意思，但制作没宣传的这么好，情节的展开和叙事都存在问题。
6.2
要夸的话，就夸夸题材够敏感吧，pg那趴没啥好回忆的🤣
好长啊。。两个半小时。。一边走神一边聊天一边看的，一开始以为是略带悬疑色彩的，结果就这啊，拍得又臭又长，到后面忍不住开了倍速。。但演技我觉得都很可以，特别是丝丝很强👍🏻
不恐怖，但烧脑。几个人讲故事，直至真相浮出水面。剧情还行，有反转。小孩从悬崖上掉下来，竟然还没死？还被救了。
对于国产惊悚来说，已经制作精良了，值得鼓励
总要破除迷信，鬼怪全在人心。
没看过小说看了些评论觉得小说非常值得一看。不管怎么说这戏给到人冲击了，会让人思考很多。几个演员的演技也特别好看得到进步，小朋友长得真的好好看。看完之后陷入沉思，想得通想不透
新浪微博上某号推的，说是一部非常不错的能上院线的网大，比很多院线恐怖片强多了，忽悠得我一愣一愣的。看了，浪费我的时间！博主为了挣点钱拉低自己的鉴赏水平也不怕夜心慌。博主说影片光影不错，那是网大和院线都该有的基本功。然后博主拿演员的表演跟低成本院线惊悚片比，本身就是拉低格局。该影片的演员表演刻意，个个都像主角抢着表现自己，眼里透着自己的小聪明，根本不在角色里，看着不难受才怪。剧作也就那样，一贯的图收益回报安全的网大跟风之作。2022·6.14 6.5/6148 短评2670，%59/30/11
升米恩斗米仇。丑恶的人心比妖魔鬼怪可怕多了。
国内无鬼片，人比鬼可怕（其实我觉得这部鬼片内容已经算拍的可以了，败在审查制度
聊斋版的罗生门，当然最后肯定还是没有妖怪而是人性搞的鬼，谨记建国以后妖怪不许成精。PS那个脸上画油彩的戏子神似李佳琦
3.5星吧，不能说特别好，但作为网大有这个水准已经算是很惊喜了。
除了特效很差外，故事性还不错，比一般的院线电影要强。
看完以后觉得特别眼熟，后来搜了一下编剧，发现果然看过之前他写的兴安岭猎人传说。自己抄自己可还行，不过水平不如之前了哦，好在互联网是没记忆的……
