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.
又商业 又文艺 两边表现都不太够 看着玩可以
开放结局，最后活下来的可以是本体也可以是克隆体，每个结果都能脑补出前面被隐去的剧情。
商业snuff 特警队探索仓库陈设真的被美到
21_174。太久没看了吗，我觉得好好笑啊，特别是有些特殊化妆没有乌黑麻漆做掩饰而露出来时我都要哈哈哈哈地笑出来了。（对不起没看三就看了四我会补完的）确实是鸟语那段还有点意思吧
设定算是还行，辛辛苦苦练了一年，就被说服了？毫无防备喝下毒水，你没事吧？
导演太贼了，故意留下既像本体又像复制体的线索，让你自己琢磨。
看到是自卫的艺术导演新电影，毫不犹豫就看了。非常喜欢这种先进行一个非常奇怪荒诞的设定然后里面所有人都一本正经的奇奇怪怪。最后不明着表现出来让观众自己理解到底是谁活了下来。
淡淡的黑色幽默，剧情安排的很巧妙，这就是围城一般的生活啊
概念不错 克隆人的伦理难题 只能选择决斗二选一 通篇都是为了决斗准备 最后克隆体想在森林里毒死本体 然而被本体反杀 最后活下来的事本体 那个破碎的手机屏幕已经暗示的很清楚了 之前在停车场摔碎的 所以最后的结局很凄凉 本体反而要假装是克隆体来迎合所有人活下去 感觉还是不错的片子 结尾很加分 不过故事确实单调
克隆技术只是情节需要，不能算是科幻电影。唯一亮点就是结局让你猜，留下的是本尊还是替身，都说得通。
导演给观众的第一印象活下来的是复制体，然后努力以本体身份去活，但进一步试想，活下来的是本体，以复制体的身份，再去模仿本体行为生活，这样的结局那会更有意思。具体哪种，仁者见仁智者见智。
不得行。“录像带”的生猛鲜活感没有了，就会显假，像90年代肥皂剧。Found footage的生猛鲜活来自于真实拍摄感，逃命乱晃的“藏”，时隐时现的恐怖，这一部太“露”了。
Dual & Duel～最后的决斗如同等最后一只靴子落地，让人辗转反侧😂
有一个好想法，但是没有完成一部好电影。过于简单的表述，结构不足以支撑，故事的层次太弱，流于表面。活着，随着时间延续，看来无论是本体，还是克隆体，都会厌倦。为了活下去，显然假的，会更狠。
最怕这种开放性结局了，但我还是认为一种结局，最后出现的是复制体，出场穿的衣服，分不清油门和刹车等。
笑死，Mr.Edwards那段女看护跟尸体对话堪称本年度最爆笑镜头了
有点小意思的电影，但总觉得还差点什么。等大神们写完影评我再来刷一刷
一堆人在那瞎分析，对电影过度解读。很明显克隆活了下来。本体的转变过于生硬，导演故意制造悬念，实则不和逻辑
一个小故事，命在自己手里，既然能有手段除掉别人，就得有让自己活得好的本事。特别佩服彗星来的那一夜里，女主杀掉了过得好的那个平行自己，取而代之
