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.
所以，日和，结，遇上了很好的奶奶，奶奶也遇上了很好的她们
日本影视，拥有的浪漫，扭曲的性格，直白的人心
挺可爱温暖的一个小故事，画风配色很舒服，故事讲的一般，就还行吧
连锁酒店诱拐走失儿童哈哈
日本真小...17年跟ex合作过的导演and17年曾经喜欢过的女生喜欢的女演员...五年....我们都长大了
剧情好像比较薄弱
哇哦哇哦，把我炸出来！！比我期待中更有惊喜，好喜欢双女主的颜值！！！！太好磕了555心坎上
书一定很好看。但是女一实在无法理解，女二太温柔太温柔，某种程度上女一让女二的渴望实现了，但还是不能理解这其中的脑回路
典型的日本温情治愈动画画风。很多细节抓的特别好。剧本故事就难免流于俗套了，能猜到剧情发展的方向，以及最后红崇也死的太容易了一些。适合夜晚轻松一下的小电影吧。
女主非要插一脚进去女二和男主中间还去勾引女二这么反套路。整个故事情节比较适合8.90年代
三个人在酒店那个镜头女主好像木村架纯…剧情还可以，就是表演感觉很有中学生演话剧的味道
迷途之家有意识的房子，感觉有点像之前看的魔法满屋里面，互动相比之下比较少。
Anna很适合这个角色，但电影本身是灾难级别。
…跟着字幕组看的 结果是twisted日本三角文学 一面觉得很适合当小说读 一面这个太生硬了（疼）不喜欢为了一男的搞雌竞而来的女同情节
每次回忆都很晕，故事一般般吧，和神奇生物的讲解也不多
经常看日本的电影的时候都会是一边不断暗想什么鬼什么鬼好奇怪好奇怪，然后一边看的很入迷
尤其是喜欢夏目系列的小可爱，这个影片就绝对值得推荐了，因为有网友调侃这是“夏目玲子的老年生活”，哈哈哈哈，可以说是很形象了。
但整体有点无聊
女主三观有点问题啊，但是这个电影张力好强我爱了。麻烦多拍点。
这番干净，也很宁静。画帧治愈。后面高潮处理有点仓促。
