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.
this hits too close to home 女主甚至一开始的卧室上就挂着我每天上班都要走过的路 无法客观评分 比预期低还是还是挺好 但是的确该爱导的很多东西没有展现出来 不知道是摸鱼了还是在干什么
o……kay？/ half as interesting as it is beautiful
惊悚外衣包裹下的逐梦悲剧，而悲剧的力量又突破了惊悚外衣的束缚，最终沉淀下的仍然是悲剧。
除了流动的音乐和最后的丧尸，看不太出是赖特的作品。但是影像风格真的太好看了。Dinna Riggs的谢幕。
披着恐怖惊悚外衣的厌男片。两种不同风格的美，McKenzie清秀可人，Taylor-Joy的大眼依然很是瘆人
视听真不错，全程不同歌曲作为背景音乐，各种场景镜头转换无缝衔接，感同身受的经历60年代女主的故事。对称镜子让两个场景重叠，惊悚感很好，特别是睁眼到现实后，一转折原来还没脱离梦境。最后结尾有反转，但略无味。
珊迪真的好有魅力啊，我的天啊，简直巨星气质，太杀我了，那么婊又那么飒，好爱。
而且视听上的美感已经有很多新派恐怖片做到了，算不上创新，但出现了极为少见的男鬼还是很有趣的。
女主累死我烦死。所有人都喜欢站在马路中间聊天。
直线崩坏。全员全景做作。女主也不知是演技还是天然，言行举止太二了，很久没见过这么讨厌的主角。“阁楼上的疯女人”故事题材也很老套，因此哪怕被赖特充塞自己的各种审美怀旧cult趣味，也一点不觉得就可惜了这部片。想不出还能换其他什么拍法才扶得起这么“无聊的讽刺”阿斗剧，赖特也算是被“拖累”了——《僵尸肖恩》的水准嫁接到这么个本子上就显得很蠢。全片还滥用60‘s歌曲，好看也就罢了，难看的话，再好听的歌都得把人折磨到要快进。
我觉得蛮好，我看你们这些打两星的人就是希区柯克看多了！

伦敦设计的学生就这水平？刻意到全程出戏 不至于真不至于
音乐 剪辑 镜头配合完美，服化道和置景上颇具匠心，爽片～
太赞了genre大片 比titane更高更圆满 视觉满分 too close to home 感觉lana del rey应该看看这片子哈哈哈low key讽刺很多想要活在60s的女孩们
又是一部剧情薄弱毫无说服力的恐怖片，可能这样的电影得在影院看，感受到了导演特别风格化的视听语言，分数还是会打高一点，但这剧情，绝对弱智老套。男人们对桑迪的侵犯也语 焉不详，小埃租了老太太的房，为何会产生这么多关于老太太过去的回放幻听幻视犹如鬼魂附身，也没有很合理的解说。。。然后，电影里的黑人真的太多了吧，为了顺应时下的ZZ 正确，现在的电影真的，晃来晃去都是黑人，所有贱男都是白人，电影里只有唯一一个喜爱女主又挺身而出的好人是黑人，然后最后的时装秀也是，非要弄个黑人模特儿穿这种很欧范的时装。。。看着真的膈应，真的没必要啊，哎！附身这种看多了，也真的是麻木了。
【B+】很不赖特的电影，反而有点陀螺的感觉。演员、摄影、剪辑和美术都做的非常棒，是一部没有预料到的精彩电影。虽然剧本上没有那么令人满意，但感觉其他各方面都做到最好了。不过这片的风格和剧本如此个性化就意味着会有一批观众非常喜欢，另一批观众非常不喜欢。
挺娱乐的 比Baby Driver 好看一点
一部充满导演视听风格的cinema电影不能在电影院里观看，真是一大遗憾。尽管如此，也给予了巨大的感官愉悦，导演牛逼
有趣的是不同时代的互动如同阴风阵阵般的华丽视听
