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.
都是很温馨的小日常
这个比喻用的还是蛮美的。地震给人们带来巨大的悲伤—这悲伤被比拟成一种怪物—使人们难以忍受而逃离故地
婆婆真的好优雅啊！
很普通，该快的不快该慢的不慢，情节和情绪都没有把握住，睡了三四遍才看下来。给三花加一星
温暖治愈的电影，剧情简单但不无聊，作画精美，这就够了呀
人生嘛不能贪多
有病？只要画风好，宁静的田园生活就能出来骗钱是不是
PS:讲故事的画风挺有趣。
额，这种质量的B站也要大力推荐么，没钱买更好的作品了么？
感觉侧重选错了，我觉得故事侧重围绕灾后重建的一些人性光辉比现在这个神话故事好很多。
喜欢画风，剧情有点说不通但无所谓，只有女性的大房子大庭院大花墙很让人向往
难得天海佑希演这类型的角色！里面出现好多搞笑艺人也是挺惊喜的ε(*･ω･)_/ﾟ:･☆
童年创伤、温情治愈、鬼怪典籍、除魔卫道。各种元素混搭，各个点面都浅显。整体而言是可惜的，要讲的东西太多了，都显得有些浅显了。神话部分还算可圈可点，但心理创伤部分则就未免过于牵强浅薄了。
是2021.6.6凌晨1.52标记想看的。创伤过后，迷途之家，善意永存。有快进，画面简单，我喜欢这个故事
好像公租房的广告啊，尤其是最后烤肉的画面，像海天酱油投资的公租房广告。
遭受天灾和原生家庭双重伤害的人靠妖怪来治愈，太过理想主义。
小时候就能重新开始，过于幸福了吧！制作优良但没有什么动人之处…
最后的胜利过程及场面略显单薄，其它都挺好的~
从最初の面子到释然の生活
我喜欢前半段的生活气息，风景美食孙女和奶奶。
