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.
印象中丹麦应该是新教国家，但是这个被炸毁的教堂是法国天主教堂。那些是天主教修女
鬼魂提供hints教男主密室逃脱，妹妹外挂+buff
就是小孩版密室逃生，但是各种bug，逃生线没做好；然后又加入妹妹通灵，哥哥接鬼电话，也没啥好看的；之后还想用心理困境强行拔高，硬生生想把恐怖片往文艺片上凑，更乱。
P.S.拉丁裔小朋友好帅好有型好像少年版纳达尔…
是枝裕和很大牌。裴斗娜及两个年轻美女在剧中竟然一直素颜、几天不换衣服，在以前、在别处，美女们大概是要掀桌的。
还是一以贯之的对边缘人物的描摹，温情有余，力道不足。同样的命题多来几次的话是很容易栽跟头的，尤其是在无法突破前作的桎梏下，太容易显露创作的疲态。
最後為導彈和制裁買單的 永遠是築起城市與國那群確切的 有血有肉的「人」啊 小Emma雙目無神 靜靜地頂著一頭炮灰喝粥的樣子 也許就是鼓吹戰爭之人推起的牆 最後會砸向的「你我」
宋康昊的很多电影要比这个更值得拿奖吧？不知道评委们怎么想的。
孩子改变恶人的电影不要太多，人物和故事稍显生硬，拼凑之感。
用唯美精致的画面拍出的风格，让观众（我）的喉咙像那个害怕天空的男孩…
片尾的长镜头使人能够想到小女孩喝粥的宿命结尾。
是枝裕和会将任何故事变为是枝裕和的调子。
战争的代价就是普普通通的老百姓，就是我们自己。
今天看，竟如此應景。只是過了70年，人類還在做一樣的事。
原本我以为掠童犯又是像杰森那样皮糙肉厚，无论怎么样都死不了的美式恐怖片。结果剧情让我很意外，所有受害的小孩子的鬼魂都在帮芬尼，甚至芬尼的妹妹都能梦中通灵，最后用电话听筒砸死掠童者大快人心啊。
7.10
后半部分让人心碎，演员都很美。总觉得可以更好

男主某些角度好像小学生版的伯恩安德森！妹妹好像食了人间烟火的Wednesday😂
结构松散，但最后三分之一部分实属震撼。视听也很出色。希望世界和平！
