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.
做坏人的最心软，看似慷慨的人最自私。恩爱夫妻表面下是弱势一方独自承受的隐忍。你是个好人但你永远错失了回去的路。不演傻白甜的莉莉更鲜活，但网飞你花八位数买了个这破玩意到底是为了个啥？看完只有两个想法，一个是“就这？”，另一个也是“就这？”。
形象确实很经典，但是大概只有我一个人觉得人设略诡异，配音略雷人吧…苍白的面颊，漆黑的瞳孔，僵尸一样的府尹大人和俩莫名其妙的和尚，以及蛋生一发笑我就起鸡皮疙瘩的感觉，实在不是特别美妙…虽然是好动画，但是我依然觉得囧…
以前隐隐约约看过，终于在电影院看了一次。（修复版的人物和背景割裂太厉害了了）
结局意料之外，但大快人心。漫画版的电影海报里的女主，跟实际相差甚远。整部电影里，女主是唯一顺眼的。最后才发现她不仅美貌，而且原来还藏着智慧，勇敢。唯一的可以在危机崩溃时，一直控制住自己。这是影片最大特色吧，只有女人的应对是完美的，而且是自然的。不是啥其他电影里的高智商，高战斗力的什么的，就很生活很自然，不抓马但最后却最具有戏剧性，真实生活不就这样么，血腥性往往超越电影。反观故事里的每一个男性，都属于随处可见那种日常自负吧，不深究可以，深究起来，每个人都有令人恶心的一面。
看完可以确定没有看过。人物运动规律现在看不到了，追逐打闹夸张不失节奏，两个和尚还有一段武打。国片主角一贯是天真勇敢，而袁公才是文人自况。ending是召唤兽对决，最终袁公来收。狐狸叫是橡皮鸭子声，蛋生背诵天书是科幻地 计算机数字声，哈哈
二星半。劇情不足、驚悚未滿。襯出Jesse演技較佳。
谁在差评，这不是很有趣吗？简单故事有趣说，就故事新颖程度也胜了现在大多数电影，90分钟很合理吧😄
小时候看过，画得很精致，记得仙法要用于人间，为人类谋幸福，还要当心被坏人利用。
游丝描绘众生相，
Lily Collins的颜是真的美，可惜演了个花瓶，还疯狂被吐槽脚背的纹身丑——我记得现实中她确实在这里纹了个玫瑰(而且确实挺丑的)。
几乎每一帧都在我的审美点上——那仿佛出自《千里江上图》的山水场景，《清明上河图》的市井生活，生旦净末丑行当的人物，把“中国版普罗米修斯”盗书至人间的故事搬至大银幕。然而袁公的结局“戛然而止”，期待出续集。
每一帧胶片修复的都是光影与时间。
游丝描绘众生相，
角色情节都恨经典、灰常长的动画片，小时候电视台总是总分几天播完，很不爽。
2010年年后再CCTV少儿台上又重温了这部动画，无愧为经典。
这片真便宜，租一个度假村，一共出现4个人。奶飞花8位数的交易费，至少1千万买这个？人傻钱多的典型吧。
太好看了！！回头看，小时候觉得很奇特的人物造型，原来如此风度有趣。尤其喜欢法术的段落，飞上天的伞变成了乌云、龙骨架拼凑出的打斗龙，真“奇趣美”。而故事的部分也很令人回味，除了老百姓、蛋生和师傅，几乎全员恶人，层层递进螺旋上升。
在电影院看了一会我才想起来我最喜欢的是西岳奇童，这个现在再看的确剧情太过于简单直白了。
这个电影明显想走文艺惊悚片路线，结果成了四不像，也并没有表达出什么深层含义……
电影其实还可以的，豆瓣评分好低，近两年就喜欢这种轻惊悚片
