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.
不清楚为什么妈妈不喜欢弟弟，但妈妈一定会喜欢新女儿。
2021.10.9｜南京虹悦城｜鲁西西无私可爱～上尉舍身救鲁西西、鲁西西在欢呼人群里哭得撕心裂肺的那一幕很让人动容。。电影想要表达的意思很积极，但是要让那么多小演员们都演技自然是非常难，所以难免显得有点儿用劲。
两星给比较拉跨的剧情逻辑和人物动机，这两点实在不太行，加两星给脑洞，这不同于一般恐怖片的设定还是挺有意思的，其实本质上还是部探讨家庭关系的影片，鸟怪是女孩在恶母和懦父阴影下的黑暗面投射，有这样的家庭这女孩真是太惨了，这妈整天直播剪视频当网红走火入魔了，也是挺有现实意义的，比如现在的:抖音网红
带小朋友进电影院看的。小孩子居然看哭了哈哈。泪点有点低哇
挺有讽刺意义的，比起女儿，母亲更爱自己的贪婪，放纵与虚荣。
剧情确实有很多很现实的金句，
回到了童年的感觉，真不错，拍的也有那个年代特点
还是太刻板了 不如男生贾里女生贾梅那种可爱 质感也不太行
失火那场戏我女儿在影院里终于忍不住爆发大哭哈哈
带着北欧特有的生猛感，对青春期少女身心变化的隐喻、家庭关系的貌合神离、强势父母对子女性格的扭曲都很有看点，不过剧情似乎bug比较大，很多地方难以自圆其说
最可怕的是，他们之后还是完美一家人。 今年恐怖片集体拉垮，显得这部特别好看。
女主长相和档5过于神似导致我全程嗑颜停不下来，甚至觉得结尾的黑发状态更美了……鸟宝宝不吃呕吐物还是挺可爱的。
童话一般美丽的场景和角色，惊悚的片段，越看越有味道
ego：自我。电影名字就告诉了我们，其实就是女孩的自己，那个邪恶的自己。
整部电影凝练紧凑，90分钟没有多余的场景和对话；小演员的表现非常出色，仿佛看到一个未来影后的诞生；结局有些生硬，但就像电影的每个情节设计一样，它的不可预测性让人感到惊讶。
把象征实体化，把隐喻明朗化。鸟以呕吐物为食，所咀嚼和吞咽的就是这家庭里的腐烂物。鸟是女孩内心的暗面，是杀戮欲，是毁灭欲，利爪撕碎完美假象，除掉竞争对手，女孩残存的善和良知与之搏斗，最终混为一体又彼此交互。很有趣的小实验，很文学，用影像呈现能达到这种荒诞和现实交织的临界感，已经很不容易。
最近看的几部北欧的恐怖片都很对我的胃口。这部也不算严格意义的恐怖片吧，不如把它看成冷酷青春成长物语怪兽version
风格不太常见的北欧恐怖片。
看之前被海报吸引了，看完觉得就这？还有，小女孩的妈妈是不是那个演祖国人的奶妈？
比较无聊，女主最后是被寄生了吗…确实有点像遗传厄运的结尾
