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.
今年看过的比较有意思的新片，虽然结构剧情风格都不算特别有创意。秋生梗很好笑，广东人吃狗梗不知道是字幕组调皮，还是导演有意为之，但是不要吃狗！狗是人类的朋友！
茨威格最大的理想是重拾世界的尊严。而至此为何美国如此另欧陆人神往也找到了理由，他们试图相信那里是昨日的世界的复刻，是新建的辉煌之城特洛伊。
有点海上钢琴师的赶脚～啊最近真的看麻了德国片都是这些故事。。。
为了讥讽素食主义，无厘头的故事令人很难入戏。
真是一对儿碧人～彼此深爱又互相理解～一起痴狂于唇齿之间的贪婪滋味。素食者农场～太美妙了！
走出酒店的一道光 和陪伴着他的棋谱都是spark
他老婆pua他，
为了battle素食主义者专门拍部恐怖片是吧
挺好的，那句话咋说来着，我们花了几亿年进化爬到食物链顶端不是为了只吃草的。再说了，真的环保，你呼出的都是co2，所以，答应我别活了好吗
还有口口声声说爱猫爱狗的人，转脸就去给猫狗做绝育割蛋蛋
男主一个人撑起一部戏。两条线交错，最后ending在精神病院。导致我有些混乱前面所有的故事全都是臆想，还是酒店的部分是真实？
所以人人都在经历苦难，能活下来的绝对不是一般人。
写这个剧本的多少和素食者有点私人恩怨，真的好搞笑，有一段假发都打掉了，我服了！牛🐮说是婚姻恐怖片也没什么问题吧！！！！导演现在就是我心里的法国王子川了等于是。
茨威格作品，肉体摧残与精神不垮交替，真实与虚幻交替，酒店里与轮船上交替。
being touched，only books、spirit、integrity could be the forever company.
我老妈就是个极端素食者。自己吃就算了，还要给别人洗脑确实挺烦的。但是片中给出了另一个极端—杀人卖肉，有何不同呢？
很有意思的设定。。素食主义者的暴论真是太好笑了
恐怖片里一股清流…顺畅的剧情，不错的喜剧效果，多角度的讽刺足以组成良好的观影体验。其他都算点缀
第一次看这种片，原来这就是传说中的恶趣味……偶尔看一次还是觉得蛮新奇……
