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.
反过来想，能把一个破B级片剧本拍成这样也挺不容易的。
有一瞬从配乐里感到了次元壁被穿透，有如通电一般的快感。
悬疑的铺垫和复古的营造很抓人，对结尾特别失望，不仅没解释女主为何能通灵这一切，还为了反转成了受害人有罪，真是对前面的浪费。
剧情俗套但是转场惊艳
埃德加导演感觉没了配乐就不会导了一样 。惊魂戏份及其惊艳，很少能见到情绪调动这么精准的剪辑
和Baby Driver类似，喜欢音乐不一定要拍剧情片对不对？硬拍，结果就真没什么好剧情…感觉Edgar Wright真的只能拍直男兄弟情
迪士尼厉害，买了这么多IP！这么多彩蛋也值得一看了。
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers!
一般般，剧情有点无聊，也没什么笑点，不过胜在彩蛋多，倒也能打发时间。
31.10.2021 | @ Regal Majestic | 因为调低了预期，还是很惊喜的。在“流水账谁家强“的开始一段过去之后逐渐步入正轨。有几个质量不错的jump scare，中间那段clusterfuck处理得超棒！同为camp，比Malignant的综合实力还是更好一点？（但是，女主的声音真是太难听了）
本片告诉我们：租房不讲究风水、穿衣服老从死人身上扒古着的后果，是十分惨烈的。
故事是中规中矩的故事，但是梗太密集了以至于不停反思这里是不是一个反讽……
剧情俗套但是转场惊艳
我真的太喜欢这部电影的质感了，但越到后面就越拉垮，特别是女主往楼梯上爬的那段，我只能理解编剧和导演根本没想好具体要怎么做好揭露谋杀的这部分。整个片子透露出一股强行制造出类似大卫·林奇电影里那些云里雾里的镜头感，但故事执行力实在是缺乏让人遐想的空间。而在双女主的配置下，即便剧本再差，但安雅依然很好地做好了角色扮演，虽然结尾那段也挺滑稽的，而托马辛的演技就像她所饰演的初出茅庐的时装设计学生一样，毫无经验和缺少魅力。（安雅真的太对我审美了ᥬ😂᭄！！！）
类型融合、劲歌金曲与惊天反转，埃德加·赖特的三板斧，尽管复古质感做的挺好，但是这次大框架还是挺俗的，而且也只是他的常规输出，还是更加怀念那个鬼马赖特。
迪士尼有这么多IP就是方便呐，随便用。全都是彩蛋。
一个握着大把神级IP宣扬知识产权正念的反盗版大派对！隔壁的蝙蝠侠、乐高、小马宝莉、希曼都是怎么谈下来的！
釜山电影节看的。把这部电影归类到恐怖或惊悚的类别有些牵强，为啥？因为它一点也不恐怖，一点也不惊悚。
ip一锅大乱炖，看得挺开心的，毕竟是我年代的老牌动画明星，自黑水平还算不错的，无限放大了丑索尼克和猫，哈哈哈哈，还有那些3D糟糕的角色，就是真人演员表演有点糟。三星半。迪士尼，过于垄断我的青春岁月了。
