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.
最后结尾当然是温馨氛围，比较好一点的是没有拍得那么那么刻意，因此感觉还算不错。
感觉完全没有注重打磨剧本的精巧，全用心在请演员和保险上了。老年的线很突兀，韩姐造型很好看表情依旧灵动，但故事还是不好，不太喜欢男生在结婚的时候还在想怎么放下和女主的情感这个情节。李栋旭元真儿这个最差了，CP感接近于无而且也非常老套，夹带私货想象了如果请的是刘仁娜估计会有很好的化学反应，但是元真儿最近是真的不灵啊。林允儿姜河那的故事应该是最好的，有惊喜。不过这电影选的最好的还是让韩姐做女主，一颦一笑都让我可以忽略故事的粗糙，韩姐终于休假结束劳模上身了，我们的蓝调麻烦给姐个好故事！
作为一部网大，能够有这种质量，就已经在及格线之上了。这部电影改编的挺好，再加上演员的演出，五分是希望导演之后能创作出更加好的影片。缺点当然是有，但是瑕不掩瑜，如果把情感的过度拍的详细一些就会更好。
这电影不就是看个乐子么，这么多喜欢的演员在银幕上合作就是对观众最好的礼物了。好喜欢韩姐和康俊哦！李阵郁和李奎炯也超有好感！
真爱至上真是个好模板，还算合格的节日童话片
in line with what they think about that there is no perfect match, or there is no “the one”. Love takes efforts.
很老套的合家欢电影 不过一年中确实需要有这么一个温情时刻
爱情就是要带点蒙汗药，骗自己的喜剧总是爱啊
下雪天和圣诞节真般配 我就喜欢这种节日出的一定是happy ending的电影
梦回My girl。不管剧情多老套，但还是爱李栋旭呀。
演员阵容其实真的不错 可惜了剧情 但整体看着也蛮开心～
人会受周围人、环境以及自我心态的影响，此时的恋人也可能是彼时的路人，所以没有什么命中注定的灵魂伴侣，感情是需要经营的。
很适合新年看的电影！有点《真爱至上》的感觉。
但是乱配我真的接受不了，即使是概念
通过讲述四个单身男女不同的搭配组合来确认什么才是你的另半个苹果…美丽的意大利，美丽的葡萄牙。
即便是在特别应景的31日看这部影片，即便是有这么豪华的阵容，但郭在容是真的不太行了啊。
贺岁电影无疑………李栋旭也太容易被吸引了+允儿戏份也太太太太太少了
想拍爱的偶然与必然性，又想拍灵魂伴侣论。但想法挺好，剪辑太乱，最后哪个也没顾到，缺了点灵性。
虽然，剧本老套，但是有点过年的味道，虽然是公历年。
还不错，比之前几个蹭IP的院线要好太多，而且最难得的是这版紫霞的演员意外的不令人讨厌！作为网大我给四颗星，挂着达叔的遗作为宣传点也算是合格的，没给达叔丢脸！
