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.
婚礼那段泪流不止，整体来说及格。但不理解长发对短发的感情和做出的选择之间的摇摆和矛盾，短发的感情走向是比较清晰的。另外，长发女主的头发是接的or假发片，老看到脖子后面的短发茬子，有点出戏。
32d陈妍希，香港的两个演员（小花）演得不错，32岁，28岁的时候，再去饰演18岁的高中生
为什么找我当伴娘？
7/10 太轻太薄了，不过校园爱情不就是这样吗，美好又不可触摸的，两位主演果然是best friend，真就没啥浪漫反应，雨中叛逆激吻也给我看出一种放弃治疗的中二友情……anyway，我就是奔着主题曲和阿谈看的……
差点又因为好多人说不好而错过的一部电影…看了之后也明白为什么有一部分人会不喜欢。但其实 这部电影除了部分剧情有点让人无语+狗血 其实真的挺优秀的 至少女主的演技不错 女二的演技不会让人出戏 这在亚洲女同电影里其实蛮少见的了 也是让我觉得这部电影很珍贵的一点 女主好像48的Z姓小偶像啊。至于让人诟病的接吻戏其实也很正常啊，青涩的初恋，上来就吻的像情场老手才更奇怪吧/ 前面的高中戏让我想起了好多往事 哎 最后婚礼也有感动我 有多少人去参加过自己最爱的人和别人的婚礼呢 如果是我 我肯定不会去参加 开始觉得好狗血 之后又觉得 在相同体制下培养出来的人类 输出的东西会有多少不一样呢 大概率都是千篇一律的故事罢了 就像有时候你觉得自己好像独一无二 结果发现原来大家都是这样想的的无奈
技术不错，电影节奏好。但角色行为逻辑不够自洽哎，让人迷惑，强行BE。
我真的对“好朋友”ptsd了。搁在任何一个时间段没有勇气爱就是没有勇气爱啊。最喜欢的是模仿阿飞正传那个一分钟她用自己的声音当秒针的场景。
虽然会觉得没有《花香》更细腻自然，但淋雨吻那部分击中我的心，后面泪目了。
我：学生作业都没这么差/李泳蓝太像我健身教练了/我还是哭了😭
因为我只有你这一个朋友。
爛得不行，直男導演而且還是tvb 出身，意識形態陳舊，不用有期望
“又关我事？”
最喜欢雨中操场那出戏，张力满满。可惜BE，看完好难受。
两个人就算有共同的过去，心里也可能有着不一样的回忆
等我看到吻戏没被马赛克挡住的那一版才算真正看过这部电影
我好想写一封悔过书，悔过自己曾经写过一封这样的悔过书…
不过很喜欢李咏蓝，爱的很纯粹也很坦荡。哭过…
过去总抱怨那些以为是对的人不够勇敢 原来勇敢不一定真诚 但真诚必定勇敢
不理解李芯悦为什么突然离开李咏蓝，不理解你为什么突然离开我
想表达对于女校体制的反抗过于直露，故事戏剧性太强没有处理好。
