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.
典型的一个概念立项拍了个片，但拍着拍着成了个丧尸片，预算都花在第一场床戏和波斯猫眼睛了，最后就是比谁声音大嘴炮逻辑都没，你俩咋不对山歌呢咿呀嘿呦
挺好的，魔鬼反其道而行之，你们驱魔，我驱上帝。
所以驱魔时怀上的孩子，居然是弥赛亚吗？导演你可真大胆啊
恐怖片最后也是回归到人性的本质，善恶就在一瞬间
哈哈哈哈哈 不按常理出牌的驱魔片，开头看得我大受震撼😹 感觉这个恶魔真的是涩鬼投胎一样
交易或能解燃眉，被恶寄生谁胜败。
这个思路挺新鲜，以前是神驱魔，这回是魔驱神。并且魔在神界留了卧底，神也在魔界留了卧底，有意思
没来由的就是很喜欢驱僵尸、驱魔这类题材的电影，虽说本片剧情一般，但特效化妆布景着实不错。耶稣、圣母像恶魔化是亮点，但有些不靠谱啊，这自己的化身都被恶魔给强占了，上帝这老大是怎么当的？
低分是有点disrespect，尤其是Christ拖着十字架那段，对于基督徒来说不可原谅；另外，怎么拍成了丧尸片？驱魔的部分太弱了，比谁的声音大？声音大代表faithful？唯一亮点是结局的思考，God和Satan的战争从未止息，追求世俗或者其他的偶像，不能进入the kingdom of the god.
很典型的爱情轻喜剧，很久没看这样的片子了。剧情也很典型，看似死对头，其实互有好感，还是竞争对手，最后团团圆圆。但是男主有些莫名其妙，几次突然转身有些不可理解，一句都是以前被人一夜情也没说服力。
那个恶魔可以吹一辈子的牛：我不仅附身了神父还变成上帝的样子，甚至还对着十字架来了一发！
那女的不是没死吗？为啥说她好像死了
交易或能解燃眉，被恶寄生谁胜败。
上帝的子民犯下的罪恶实在是太多了，所以现实中天使和恶魔的信徒又有多大区别呢🤷♂️
哈哈哈 笑死我了 這戀愛腦也是沒誰了 忠犬設定也要有點道理好不啦
在俗套和逻辑混乱之间还是不难找到对爱与生命本质的透彻领悟以及艺术化表达的。
必须打5分好吗！要吓人有吓人的点，要思考有思考的点。真的看了招魂3和这个对比简直了
惊吓度不错，但是后面的剧情收不住的往夸张路线走，实在让人出戏。
不过脑子的小妞电影，又忆起青春岁月追剧的时光。只是，现在只我一人喜怒哀乐～
合理解释教会里性侵幼童等各种邪恶事件的缘由。
