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.
作为喜剧来看，影片是说不上好的，我一次大笑都没有，只有几次微笑。作为剧情片或者爱情片来看，我觉得还行，最起码这个故事我是有点喜欢的。尤其后面因意外影响婚礼的时候，岳父聚合所有亲朋的力量，办了一场虽不隆重却依然甜蜜的婚礼。对这个我有感触，因为我结婚时受SARS的影响，取消了安排好的一场蛮大的婚礼，但依然也办了至亲参加的一场小仪式，加了一次澳洲的旅游，重要的是我和妻子过得幸福。影片里传达的也是这个精神，真正的爱情和亲情不应该受到外力的影响，人才是最重要的，让自己爱的人享受到幸福，这才是真爱。我给3星6.5分！
爆米花，僵尸背景下的故事片，僵尸弱到爆，已经沦为压榨能源用了
剧情有点老套，看起来倒是轻松无负担开开心心吃爆米花。
这剧口味重的是口臭，男主这反水也太随意了吧，一言不合就变圣母，丧尸沦落到工具用途就没了丧尸片的魅力，像行尸走肉一样，看打戏还马马虎虎。
【2022-018】怎么说这片，一如既往的乱世妖魔组队打怪模式，解药竟然是活人研磨出来的，僵尸当燃料这个设定不错，完后几个变异的僵尸，让我想到了蜂王，估计生化给导演增加了不少固话模式没脑子看，这片打的挺过瘾，有脑子各种问题，不过看这种片，别想太多，爽就行，个人评分6分。
技法不错，氛围压的好，船戏那我就想起来老斯的慕尼黑。
这片有续集我是没想到，当然其风格非常强烈，有末世废土风，虽然格局小，但各方面细节做得不错，每个角色也基本没拉胯，都个性十足形象鲜明，打斗戏更是一波三折节奏抓人，脑控自爆丧尸、反派的远程操控改造尸等桥段都挺有意思。当然比较违和的是，都末世了这个反派组织存在的意义就很奇怪，明显不如疯麦4里的反派设计。总体上来说在小成本基础上做到了可看性较强，如果能接受这暴力的设定完全值得一看
很好看啊，昨晚看了第一集，今晚就把第二集搞定了。有了前作一贯的风格，不用管什么剧情，刺激，血腥，搞笑。就完了。很难有这么刺激的片子了。期待后续
第一部的两个梗继续发扬光大，第一次这么心疼那些僵尸们，辛勤工作无私付出英勇战斗不怕牺牲，第三部可以期待。。这俩澳洲兄弟前两年还找莫妮卡贝鲁奇拍了部科幻恐怖，找来瞅瞅。。
故事完整，也不会像第一部那么尴尬，小成本片能这样，够了，期待第三部能多点成本吧
的确有很多CMBYN式的元素，房客、作家、桔子、衬衫以及换了种说法的以你的名字呼唤我直接在台词中出现，等等，包括前半程故事走向和节奏调调也挺像。非常文艺迷影范，布列松、黑泽明、塔可夫斯基纷纷出镜，洛丽塔、莫里斯等等也被提及。摄影构图很漂亮，美术布景很舒服，和以往的印度电影观影经验大不同。可惜后半程掉得有些多，在隐身与逃跑中舔舐时代身份之悲苦，反倒不如副线女人之间的互救来得动人。
和第一部水平一样，剧情稀烂，血浆尚可，总体不如死亡录像带4
像拼了一堆游戏过场动画一样无趣，服化道可以，演员太别扭
还不错，挺同情他们这对恋人的，真是历经磨难，顽强
期待3。
特效有点五毛，僵尸口气当能源的设定挺有新意，有点搞笑
电影氛围很不错，包裹在谍战里的爱情悲剧，只是情节太经不起推敲了，4🌟给的是电影色彩、场景和男女主角！
看完两部，脑洞可以，僵尸新能源。可惜小成本电影，就那样吧。
虽然有这样那样的不足之处，但是最起码让我看得很轻松，有些地方的文化差异不能理解，但还是蛮温馨的一部电影。当然，女儿们这样“作”的前提条件是：老爸有钱。所以你看，这一点其实哪里都一样。
和第一部水平一样，剧情稀烂，血浆尚可，总体不如死亡录像带4
