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.
没有什么新意，带有一点点软色情，低于驱魔片平均水准，不要浪费时间...
男女主演是现实中的一对吗？不然就是演的太好了。

很有新意的“驱魔”电影，一上来就是牧师被恶魔色诱，魔鬼扛着十字架，恶魔绑架牧师进行驱神仪式，人们相信的是结果不会在意过程，一念成佛一念成魔
劇本很棒，反驅魔的設定很cult,但導演的功力尚不成熟，後半段拍成了喜劇，鏡頭與構圖也較平了。
我真的爱死小鸡片了，好不容易来这么一部，尤其《欢喜冤家》类型的最让我激动啦——所以少不了对《傲慢与偏见》的直接致敬。男帅女美、化学反应强烈、性张力十足，还有男主角好看的臀部和身材，一部爱情片不能要求更多啦(//∇//)
近年来最好看的驱魔题材了吧，无论从化妆摄影演技没得挑！
别出心裁的驱魔片，头一次见到恶魔给神父驱逐上帝
PS：上一次看到邪恶战胜正义还是在万能钥匙……
OMG, though the plot is cliche and cold, but i have to say i am really enjoy the movie, enjoy BGM, the stupid sweet love story and adorable Lucy, maybe because i used to date with a girl just same as Lucy, especially the height and face~
译名不对味，预告片比实际内容紧张刺激
开头那个被鬼附身的女的乃子不错啊，看硬了....
驱魔变得像是在比谁嗓门大。。如果坚持不交易会怎样呢？最后倒是非常非常惊喜，难道有续作？
职场浪漫爱情喜剧，两个人互相斗气的时候真的十分小学生，选角太好了，两个人真的化学反应满满的，一个强迫症一个随性还蛮有趣的，不用动脑子随便看看确实挺好的，剧情一般，1星给选角。
我要用撒旦尼克大拳把这个电影的导演无编剧全部咋烂 一分滚蛋
我不想看懂，作为恐怖片是十分的不好看！整个电影的节奏稀碎。后面是丧尸吗？干啥呢那是，比谁嗓门儿大嘛吗？
越看越怀疑自己是不是真的d**dy issue…对着神父有一些个想法实在是罪过罪过（但特么真的是太帅了！！！，最后居然是父女上帝恶魔掰头局，好希望有第二部球球了！
比常规恐怖片好一点点吧，但真是给我看乐了好几次
高潮：鬼比神父话多，导致驱魔失败～
sex tension is there.女主年轻还能看看，年纪大了还是得转型。。
