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.
观赏性很强的院线片。画面、音乐和服装都很美，有着浓重的宿命感和悲剧感。骗中骗的结构，以弱胜强又和《犬之力》不谋而合。男人们自以为掌握了一切，结果还是被女人abandoned, haunted and executed。男主原本是可以成为福尔摩斯那样的人哪！
为情怀买单，看完了才知道还有下部。时长很短，片尾出来我以为看错了。。
几天时间全系列刷完了 画风和画面的流畅度都称得上一绝 半身和特写镜头几乎完美 不过全身镜头就很容易出现崩掉的比例 整体看下来 因为剧情走向没有什么太意外的地方 也没有觉得很热血… 但有时候不太想看运动番是因为最后一定会因为升学、毕业而逐渐变成失去高光的大人，在回去看第一季就感觉真的内心复杂。
看到大家都说看睡了，我就放心了。作为陀螺粉还是要爬起来二刷/二刷，不该叫《玉面情魔》，应该叫《沉睡魔咒》/三刷黑白版，质感马上不一样了。然而依然逃不过沉睡魔咒
最后突然被心魔附身是什么鬼 再一次虐凛遥🫠
People are desperate to be seen.
/这位导演的镜头场景太美了
还没看的建议等后篇出，前篇没什么主线但看完又疯狂想知道后篇是什么剧情
如果你看过低学历大师把一帮明星企业家精英大佬骗得团团转的新闻，那么这部电影是有其现实依据的。每个人的心里都有缺口，骗子就是发现了这个缺口并加以利用，仅此而已。男主太帅了，但是气场完全被大魔王压过去了，最遗憾的就是男主还是太嫩，影片整体还是非常好看的
【动画电影】久违的小游泳，不看遗憾看完后悔:(
cp乱炖雨露均沾 但这烂逼剧情让我心如止水 一星给我嗑过的cp
对这个老派的故事无感，也不太喜欢男主女二剑拔弩张的表演，我就是喜欢炫彩色调中的诡异奇幻，前两幕可把我满足得够够的。
摄影美术优秀，美术奖摄影奖都能和沙丘一战，低角度广角摄影的变形成为了一种叙事元素，而美感丰富，光线品质也极高。可惜在于叙事节奏失控，第一幕撑了近一个小时，连布兰切特都没出现……难以称之为优秀作品。所以全片的噩梦指的就是马戏团骗术这个供人消遣的行当，当它想染指现实时定会被打回原形……背后的主线仍然是主角的阶级跃升之路，可剧作未恰当地强化，否则可以更符合当代审美，更好。总之，文本被悬置，装修很拉风。
我那么喜欢凯特女王和鲁妮玛拉 布莱德利库珀还演得居然很不错 场景服饰也美得不像样，那么多优点了 但是电影实在是太长了 长就长了 还一点不紧凑，对不起我睡着了，一时不知道是怪陀螺拍得不好还是怪自己欣赏能力不足。
不让人愉悦的故事。服装、艺术指导的确出色，个别镜头也惊艳。卡司真亮瞎眼，但what’s the point of this whole story?
看完当夜做了噩梦，想着影片结尾睡不着。五光十色的大都市和有钱人的世界没混成，被欲望反噬，逃回最初的马戏团也只能当底层geek（被圈禁被利用），人类社会恐怖片。
还好还好，挺宿命的，但男主
从悉尼大赛之后开始朝我不理解的世界线偏离，大家都在说什么，我不懂…最后小学树下的“for the team”，难道不是告诉观众整个作品都在朝着与原本完全不同的地方狂奔了？
在眼睛屋里几乎完成了全片所有的表意，即目光路径迂的变向，从读心游戏中目光的发起者最终变为完全的承受者，只需将方向改变就完成了阶级的跌落，非常简单。（那个娃娃罐头真的好可爱。
看到没，算塔罗的，玩通灵的，最后都干不过心理分析的，一个人命运的跌宕起落，恰好又暗合了玄学被心理学取代的历史趋势。
