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.
小成本小场景惊悚小品🫤前半段铺垫无惊无喜，ash真实身份暴露的转折点开始带节奏😦杀戮戏异常紧凑干脆🫣女主留下的毒品关键时刻起了作用🫢而且她真的不怕冷啊🤷🏻♀️
好看，虽然没啥惊喜，但很爽。女主不错，sandy演员是冬天的骨头里面的女boss，一整个适合大雪纷飞啊（不是
反派最后话多，这种桥段我猜在电影学院里肯定会有个什么学术术语的，比如“找死吟唱”之类的。
很普通，不太好看。抖音剪辑实在是大加分。。。
流水線生產的小成本驚悚片，情節不複雜。漫天飛雪挺有意境。

小成本惊悚片，总共主角就五个人，剧情比较老套，但是后半段还是挺精彩的，比较惊险刺激，女主全程高能，还是可以一看的。
2022.03.02一个人在蓝湾看。车内身亡→Larse→Ash→Sandy，波浪不大，但却有推进。PS. 女主第一眼有5分像巩俐。3星。
這類小成本暴風雨山莊類題材很難玩出新鮮感，受限於主角未知的視角，反而是主角試探陌生人的賭局上做到集驚慄感和懸念感的強情節，但一切在突如其來的反轉後落入了同類型電影的俗套，兵捉賊的遊戲缺乏層層遞進的刺激，而亮明角色的關係後賭局上的互動失去嚴謹，後半段的拉鋸戰上雙方對自身掌握的優勢不甚了解，而要旁人提及的場面略嫌可笑，某個角色讓我想到《The Room》的男主角。
开篇很好，慢慢入戏入扣，暴雪山庄的小变形，但后来的处理特别扁平，没有任何延展性。可惜可惜。
剧情完整但太单薄了，前一个小时挺无聊，后面也没紧张起来
还行，有一说一反派挺帅的。那个钉子钉进手腕里……好酸爽，只能感叹女主血好厚啊，被打摔下滑坡撞到树还被喷防狼喷雾（大概）然后被钉枪钉手腕然后撕扯再后来还出车祸最后还被警察打了一枪，真血牛了属于是。
现在的美国电影没法看，一股浓浓的恶臭...--
三星半。女主的经历看起来好疼，女主本人好英勇！玩牌戏那段真的非常精彩。
无厘头电影，确实有笑到，认真你就输了，但是开头确实有点让人无语，这也没啥手段呐，不纠结这种东西去观赏还算合格的喜剧片，三星半。
反派执着于碎叨叨+总要把女主留到最后杀+创造条件给女主反杀机会。成本小，逻辑差，故事线刻意不合常理。差评。
看到开头陆续给出的密室和困境，我自以为是的想多了，其实还是一个小成本的犯罪题材，只不过把这些元素都加进去以后让情节比较相对饱满罢了，不难看，各个环节，逻辑包括演员，特别是女主的表演都很不错，当个周末沙发电影还可以
类似这种带悬疑色彩的困兽犹斗电影还是很值得一看的，况且是打拐题材，此时放出资源，也算是应景了。
比较老的套路模版兄弟情深 但我很吃这套与喜剧结合 两个男主我都很喜欢 没事的时候看个开心挺有意思的
以为是女主专场，被bangbang的时候还是心疼了一下！片子拍的挺好的！希望女主🔥起来。女主，华裔！！！
