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.
暴雪天气，高速封路，五个人受困于一个没有手机信号也无职员的游客中心，其中就有绑架小孩的罪犯。典型的密室罪案，熟悉的场景设置。虽是小成本制作，但故事讲述得还不错，悬念的设置尚可，情节也是一波三折，还不时有反转。女主角是华裔，一个毒虫却脑子够用，几乎独力死里逃生。她的表演还可以。
悬念铺陈还行，可惜反派设计太蠢了，直接导致女主的反击完全嗨不起来。
警察必定便当定律，有点麻了。开放式悬念集大成者，设计密室推理并不难，设计单纯的血浆追杀片也不难，难的就是把这种观众全知视角、部分角色有限视角的悬念尽量延长，譬如《悬崖之上》
这个亚裔姑娘作为主演真的很棒，剧情也挺好的。就是这个片看得我火气直冒。两女三男，一场卡牌，玩的就是心理战术。
剧情老套，没那么好笑，爆米花电影，适合下饭。加一星给我最爱的光头Woody～ 和社牛Penny那段也太有cp感了吧（指人设，不是演员），磕到了。
开头会以为是嗑药致幻心理片。小女孩有点坏，还以为有个暗黑的反转。耍诈牌学会了，有机会找人一起玩玩儿。其他并无惊喜。
看完本电影只有两个感想：1、不要相信帅哥。2、会ke药是一种技能。（bushi
完成度很高，就是剧情局限性，反复就几个场景！
如果换成杰米福克斯+杰森斯坦森一定会给满分的。或许改个名《这个杀手不太狠》。
小成本悬疑惊悚，五加一的角色配置在暴风雪山庄困境里保持着很强的紧张感，难能可贵的是女主十分有魄力，智商和勇气全程在线，一直竭尽身边能利用的资源来尝试找到扳倒对手的机会。
暴风雪山庄模式，打开休息站大门的那一刻，让我想起了《八恶人》，有悬疑，有反转，下手干净利落，演技也很到位，很好看的小成本惊悚片。

女主角全程智商在线？？？最后跑路的时候不用枪废掉歹徒行动能力就是智商暂时掉线的那一刻吧。
知识学杂一例。
一抬头看到山P，下一秒被车撞直接挂了，然后笑出声了，山P的脸都没看清楚。
本来一个“暴风雪山庄”的经典布局，我是很喜欢这个类型电影的。可电影找凶手和反转都不是很到位，惊悚氛围也比较随意敷衍，不是很好看。
一枪可以干掉的事，非要用钉枪把手钉在墙上。
真凶暴露有点早 反转也就不那么惊人了 惊悚气氛营造的还是差了点
一般以下，剧情老套，队友不能找个智力低下的人，嗑药有神力，止痛还加抗性，女主演技不错，bug 就不谈了，实在太多
剧情设定还是有点戏剧性的，反二号的阵亡也颇有黑色幽默的意味。
