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.
网大真的越来越好了。那个谢锦表演流于表面缺少层次感，还不愿意剪头发。瞎子那个美瞳是穿的，还有三十分钟五十八秒那个穿帮镜头...
剧作够接地气了 就是表演略油腻 一点都不山村
多重视角叙事，虽然被广电条条框框压着，但还是拍出了怪力乱神该有的样子。
故事倒也不差，但跟我想看的不一样，果然建国后不许成精啊
片名猎奇，但剧本比院线鬼片出彩多了。不是诡谈，而是一个罗生门式的故事。比鬼更可怕的是人心。多一星鼓励。
看组里推荐去看的，确实剧情还不错，但也没有特别惊艳我，不过作为网大来说，可以吊打很多院线烂片了。罗生门叙事，不同人讲述同一个故事的不同的版本，“三层皮”层层剥开，最后才是狐妻的悲惨真相。
被6.5分的“高分”吸引来的。众所周知，国产恐怖片能达到及格分以上的屈指可数，就更别提还只是网大了。说实话剧本确实不错，演员演技也都在线，绝非粗制滥造圈钱之作。其实私心以为分数还可以再高一点。
这编剧是我当阴阳先生那几年的作者崔走召啊，看了好多人也不知道了。
剧本攒得挺好，狐妖部分看得出《塔巴德》的影响，喜欢黑店部分，后面就太差了，质感和演员演技都难以下咽。
不，这跟制度有毛关系？
仿罗生门结构没铺垫式多重反转，好一个全员说谎人，全程故事节奏靠嘴巴和不断死人推动，质感还有最后那个长镜头的确是亮点，但总感觉故事还是没说好。
更纱和阿文互相救赎互相治愈的关系真好，可是一直被世人所误解，所幸结局还算可以。丝宝成熟了，演技也更沉稳了，几个镜头也好美。
可以四星鼓励一下。最可怕的，还是人心。（很喜欢最后彩蛋的设计）
一群没任何名气的人，带着脚镣跳了一个中规中矩的舞，在大陆恐怖片里，算是优秀的，给三星，鼓励！
四星鼓励，拍的很用心。借用罗生门的框架，讲了个新时代妖魔鬼怪故事。
特效和剧本在网大中属于比较出色的水平了，看得出来认真做的电影。
三星半吧，完成度挺高的，拿的罗生门的本子吧，算是不恐怖的悬疑片!
偶尔从哪看到说模仿了《罗生门》的故事，有兴趣找来看，没想到超出了预期，故事情节、烘托的氛围、对人性的批判都有眼有板，群众演员也很融合，导演是用了心的，节奏紧凑，引人入胜，片尾的彩蛋让影片有了回味。不错。支持一下。
2.5 编的不错，挺《罗生门》，只是演的太国产。
要不是感冒发烧，我都不会无聊地刷到这部网大片，居然忍不住打了五星。本片虽然处处在学别人，例如 学罗生门，学“饥荒”，学人性，学反转，但关键都学到点子上了，还运用了民国那段比较独特的历史衬托。虽然有些许尿点，但觉得是好电影。
