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.
好看的！很多反转（虽然有点硬）但是女主战斗力太强。看的过程很紧张看完就可以丢在脑后的娱乐电影，非常适合周末打发时间~
结尾处三女合作反杀值得加多一星。前面三分之一都像无聊的恋爱剧。并没有多新鲜的剧情。甚至真的感觉到一丝恶心和恐怖。人与禽兽有何区别。用何区别？好吧，姑且先否一票宣称吃素的男人。毕竟他不吃动物肉。可能想吃的是更高级的。。
居然有点超出预期…影片重点倒不是吃人噱头，而是把吃作为一种权力和欲望的具象，直接指向父权社会对女性的压榨，超大的特写，晃动的镜头，观看过程中甚至让观众觉得吃本身就是罪恶和恐惧的来源。用这种极端物质化的方式讲了一个girls help girls 的故事，最讽刺的莫过于落跑男和叛徒女。
反转一个接着一个的 挺喜欢这种设定的 情节有点淡 女主真有气质
过于直白的对女性压迫的吃人寓言，说得好像低情商直男就不是男权象征了似的
哈哈哈哈我还挺喜欢这种爱情惊悚片的。但也是警醒大家当心！所有出其不意的搭讪，未必都是爱情，很可能是圈套～
疫情以后，类似这种变态砍杀绑架吃肉的惊悚片题材不少，奈飞A24hulu都有 感觉也是通过另一种方式发泄某种压抑郁闷的情绪的。稍感重口稍有恶心，剧本还是太平庸，高开低走。
前面故事虽然慢， 但也算讲得好好的；后面就各种行为逻辑BUG毁了。
性转版逃出绝命镇 清新甜爱+食人变态+血浆喜剧的混合气味令人晕头转向 不愧是女导演 看到咬掉生殖器立即决定给好评 三个女孩的反杀太痛快 某种程度上来看 欺骗诱拐强迫禁锢贩卖 再离奇的剧情都是女性真实生活的经历 毕竟男人的历史书满本上都写着两个字 吃人
政治正确挂旗，亚裔女孩上位。
好喜欢Daisy的文艺脸，连恐怖片都变得小清新了起来。而本片确实没什么血腥镜头，更多的是想象力带来的不适感。说实话通过前半部分不是很能猜到会走复仇路线。
难得女主和反派都智商在线，小孩子勇敢且不作妖，剧情也紧张刺激拉满到最后一刻。
没有什么比临时赶紧脱逃的黑人男配更真实的了。
seb老得……啧啧啧，一脸的沟沟壑壑，阴影打下来活像蜘蛛侠的滑板博士绿魔
单身女性的恐惧来源，故事没什么太大惊喜及惊吓
期待的血浆四洒的镜头一个也没有，过于克制的恐怖片
在所有可能产生意想不到桥段的地方，都被导演和编剧完美的避开了，我努力让自己“相信”他们是有意为之；如此平淡的剧本被他们如此平淡的展现出来，真是很难为他们了。话里话外中体现出若隐若现的道理，也被淹没在无趣的观影体验里了。另：一如既往的美国电影种族大杂烩里，亚裔仍然“执拗”的扮演着受气包和倒霉蛋的角色。
吃人题材本身并不新鲜，尺度也没有预想的大，男主妻子这一人物深度或许是全片最感兴趣想了解的，却未进一步挖掘非常可惜。不过还是不建议吃饭观看，因为把食用人肉用美食片式拍摄还是看着心里发怵（这些人不会得朊病毒吗）不禁映射最近的事件，我们不也是同样的境遇吗？
把女主手臂钉在墙上让人眼前一亮 但整体非常boring非常粗糙
整体感觉很平庸，清汤寡水的！女主表演还可以。
