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.
货不对版啊，玩死金的画什么尸脸啊，就还是换皮的美式校园剧，加了点金属元素。初入坑的可以一看
也无处查询具体事件……
青春片，幸好没有国产三件套。
青春啊，重金属啊，两者结合就挺好的，歌曲和背景音乐都不错。
蠻好看的。尤其是大提琴做低音貝司用那裏，很有創意，也很好聽的。
同类电影里，剧情略显老套，但看着舒服。即如很多金属乐里的老套和弦，听着就是过瘾。
逃离吧，跑得远远的，最远的地方就是那人群中，往那儿去吧
经典美国高中nerd通过一技之长博得众人喝彩。融合了恋爱、音乐和霸凌，要素太多惹。
总结:
普通的青春片吧，其实和金属没啥关系，把金属换成其他爱好这电影都成立，甚至更好。另外，不是所有搞金属的人脑子都有病。
联想到曼德拉毁了南非…我觉得自由的代价是愚昧。
4-…有不少缺点，但是看得挺开心的，故事流畅剧本颇有新意，用组乐队来表达青春期必不可少的叛逆和顺从，悬念和高潮同时收在结尾一幕安排得挺好
#66 2🌟和3.75🌟，去掉一个最高分，去掉一个最低分，最后得分3🌟 nah I am too old for this
这位演员应该是目前南非最棒的演员，他主演《所罗门的故事Kalushi: The Story of Solomon Mahlangu》也很不错的。
女主的造型加上大提琴绝了，不是美不美的问题，而是不会重复。

你不是一个错误，别让他们纠正你。最后一曲为电影拉回一星，女主的演奏美到我灵魂出窍！
好可爱的一部电影，果然重型的鼓手是其他乐队最向往的乐手了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
剧情相当没劲，原创歌曲还行，最后一场演出戏算是云蹦迪一下吧，一星给剧情，一星给歌，一星给几位金属老前辈
年轻人玩重金属 感觉上就是一个会被欺负霸凌然后躲在角落里发泄的样子，没想到节奏感还蛮强的
