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.
有幸在圣丹斯线上看到了首映！震撼！美哭了 所有的一切
自由一定是建立在黑暗历史的尸体上建立的，viva la vida
画面磨砂质感的电影，整个片处于压抑氛围，调色也比较暗，party和两个人搞在一起那里气氛轻松点，最后简直是太刺激吓人了，开放式结局，男主很有责任心，卷毛大眼睛特别可爱，小警察怎么会不喜欢他呢
男主所谓“不懂得如何享受成功”的正直，Arek 为了自由的无畏，高官可以为了掩盖自己是homo硬是发动了风信子行动。想来以前的希望也过于幼稚，身居高位的人可以为了权力而屠杀与自己拥有相同痛苦的人。就是男主与女主在一起的线略欠。
男主和男二床戏后有一个镜头，两只鸟同时飞，一只飞走了，一只却飞回起飞处，是否在暗示男二会逃走，男主会留下来。
在有点意思和没啥意思间横跳，不断换皮最后终于找到一个真爱结果被野猪戳死了，为啥这么惨因为选到了中世纪农民hard副本啊，女巫可以考虑找找贵族或者在苟到千禧年就爽了，太惨太文艺不如去看一条狗的使命12，真-人不如狗，3.5
导演肯定是基佬，拍女体血肉模糊拍男体活色生鲜，表面上女性主义其实最大看点是男色。
都说好的喜剧剥开了是悲剧，那历史片何尝不是满屏情欲，好的恐怖片何尝不是恶之花烂漫洋溢着文艺
让我轻轻地吻着你的脸，擦干你伤心的眼泪，让你知道在孤单的时候，还有一个我陪着你，

生而为妖，缺偏要人间走一遭，先做女儿身，又当男儿郎，酸甜苦辣都尝遍，让一个妖把人做了个明明白白。好看！
遇到了还在上大学，向往自由，不羁的男生之后，似乎被他所吸引，一个个眨眼之间，满是深情，一个吻，把小警察的意识唤醒了
“我不会丢下你一个人走的” “我会找到你的”。最怕看这种有历史背景的同志电影，一开始结局就已经注定了。
7.5/10。混合艾格斯和泰伦斯马利克风格的人文主义版《皮囊之下》，folk horror with serious feminism inside though it's a bit superficial and religious.
看前面一半的时候，觉得这个调调正是我讨厌的调调，迷迷蒙蒙的音乐和脱离叙事的慢镜头特写细节，似有似无越大确定情绪目的的旁白，无法欣赏这种，同时还是一个该死的女权性冷淡仇男仇性的片子，可是后半段之后，片子戏剧性和故事性突然出来了，仇男仇性的性冷淡也没有了，好奇怪的片子！
卧底警察与献身大佬小奶狗相识后的情不自禁。
女性与女巫何尝不是一体的呢？
诗意的暗黑童话，老巫婆气死人！导演好会拍男人
角度独特的女性电影，以一个啥阅历都木有的小女巫的成长和探索窥探强势父权下的女性困境。恐怖的标签来自于血腥，如果以村民视角，这样的邪灵食狼女是恐怖的，倒过来以邪灵护体的抗争是不是又有点爽呢。风格的确有点点马利克的味道，虽然差得远，但一点点味道反而服用得挺舒适，马利克趟趟能让我有嗑晕的状态。
办案就一定要水落石出
