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.
开篇还挺不错的，很多喜欢的元素，但故事平淡，后面渐渐不太看的下去了。去过金边，虽然乱点，但整体印象还是可以的。
一种流离平凡无力的生活影像。城镇变迁中没有选择的能力。
《模特》和《红衣女人》有后劲，其他就没头没尾没主题。以前的短片集一般都有个贯穿主线，现在的短片集就像打翻的弹子盒，每个故事都蹦的没方向感。
我比较在意的是这个故事的载体并不是非电影不可，有点“俗套”。
总体而言，是一部已经很不错的电影。但可惜城市化主题的影片太多了，这部可能只能算一部完整、清晰的电影，但算不上有什么惊喜。
其实大部分故事选材都很不错，但剧情太弱了，很多故事都没有前因后果，都是老套路。齿虫的故事不错，但又走了丧尸片的老路，招魂吃人的很对我的点，但最终还是老套路。看个乐子吧，看完之后没啥印象深刻的。
除了人体模特稍微有点氛围和逻辑，其它真的就是莫名其妙的一惊一乍
平遥电影节北京分展见到贾科长。朋友远走 大厦倒塌 父亲截肢 儿女离去 不管哪个阶段都一直在告别和失去。
奇怪就奇怪人家的偶像不仅有颜，抛开唱跳，演戏也能撑得住
有些刻意的诡异和老套的剧情，唯一的好处就是短篇形式了，让人可以没有负罪感地开倍速。期待很高，但是看完之后只想说两个字，就这?
十个拼盘小故事，没有一个能吓到人…没有主线串联的情况下起码把各自的故事讲讲好吧，没一个合格的，没头没尾，毫无逻辑，粗制滥造，演技拉跨…

整体平庸，没有太亮眼的故事，有几个没头没尾，看得人一头雾水。这个系列最大的作用大概是给某些爱豆转型抬轿？
20211013#平遥国际电影展#如果说这部影片是柬埔寨青年导演对贾樟柯电影的再地化的话，那么可惜只有形式而无内容。除了主人公们执念于那个“白色大厦”以外，其他再无可说———
故事还是比较完整连贯的，没有突出的硬伤，也没有很触动我的地方（文化背景的差异可能是个人在某些方面缺乏共情能力的原因），不得不说，在中国语境下来看视电影中所谓的“雕刻家”、“艺术家”、“公务员”这些字眼，还是会产生一定的误读的。
1.8见到了贾导！很惊喜，太太太压抑了，实在是看不下去。不苟言笑的爸爸，迷信的妈妈，活不出希望的孩子…
齿虫那段真的万物可丧尸。整体都很老套，没有丝毫惊吓，不过女主都好漂亮
好闺蜜死后用约定咒语召回然后互换了
没有很重的东南亚氛围渲染，这点来说很干净很直接，没有那种“卖惨”的感觉(不是贬义，只是比喻)毕竟很多小语种国家的片子都很喜欢用自己的文化氛围开场，但故事本身的文化价值又不高就导致有些虎头蛇尾。
