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.
（对国内恐怖片打分相对宽容）虽然还有很多硬伤，但就大陆恐怖故事来说，可以打及格。希望下一部能继续精进，在规制下探索出新的恐怖片之路。
剧情不行，大决战bgm不行，这么好的作画浪费了。
诡异浓郁 中式恐怖美学 妖艳下的诡异 迷情 惊悚
这算是把很多的矛盾拼凑出来的电影，每个节奏进程之间拼接都靠的是一厢情愿，对方附声应和？
女主人设很完美，智勇双全，爽剧鉴定完毕！
镜头表现挺漂亮，年代感也强。无奈编剧不给力啊！一猜就是这样的结果。里面Bug 太多，掳走那么多孩子就为了造鸦片？那得做到猴年马月去啊……
想和无穷亮一起看 他告诉我这水猴子是啥 我告诉他王真儿有多好看！
？？？女主穿旗袍。背步枪？？？多么sx的剧组。还有开头的电影独白，千篇一律。
整体布景氛围不错
属于典型的，一本正经胡说八道的影片，浪费观时。另外，女主的胶原蛋白好像打的过多了。一脸的浮肿的样子。
场景布置还可以，但是真的这个含义夜未免太浅了。
意外得还不错，小成本片有时真的很有味道。最后的结局有点残忍。以及前面的弟弟也太炮灰了吧！
女主人狠话不多，该开枪时绝不废话，武力值比较高，为找失踪的四眼弟弟来到了有水猴子的小镇，镇上不断有人死亡，人人都对杀人如麻的水猴子讳莫如深，却又用生人祭祀它，供奉它。最终才被女主揭开真相，原来一直操控水猴子作恶的幕后黑手是贪心的人类为了掩盖运毒的目的。女主也记起来所谓的妖怪水猴子是自己患有遗传病的亲弟弟，最后水猴子为了救人也牺牲了自己。
逻辑硬伤太多了，这麻木也不至于这样…那个坏人吹过 这尼玛拿来立刻又吹……
我来找弟弟，莫急莫急，我来找弟弟，莫急莫急，我来找弟弟……莫急莫急……墨迹你妹啊，你妹啊……
恐怖没有，倒是挺悲哀的，被傻鄙天龙人扣个大帽子真的好惨，不知道什么时候可以反弹……
这剧碰上看（王道热血漫）电影多的和站立场的，三星都够呛。
制作和质感氛围比第一部强很多，依然是项式兄弟精美的画面风格。不过该有的惊悚和怪物元素却做得不足，类型该有的效果并没有达到。一个怪兽片最后落在了煽情上。算是个精致的平庸之作。
两星半。比前一部大有进步，叙事大体可以接受，技术方面提升明显，灯光、美术、摄影、调度、特效都基本在线，像模像样，情节上各种小bug多了点，普通话尤其令人出戏
