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.
很好看啊 哈哈 这就是美国的青春烂片把 不过够热闹
姬仔小甜剧。但没有一个女生是我的菜。hello, l’m board
当初看预告的时候就对这片拔高了期待，而且那段爵士➕柔道➕舞蹈也是我整部中最喜欢的！太好听了吧！
看完听一晚上phoebe bridgers
作为一个曾经最擅长跑步的姬，能因为一部本就难得的浪漫喜剧回忆起初中时（为数不多的快乐时刻之一）发现喜欢的女孩在观赛所以努力冲刺的可爱往事，没理由不加感情分。虽然背景差太远，但不得不承认这类小甜水对于活在糟糕现实里的不青春观众来说，真是一份迟到的安慰。我们需要更多校园姬片。
如果未来有这样关注人们幸福指数的AI，那的确让人很感动……
虽然剧情很predictable，但是我们需要更多的sapphic校园喜剧。还有我也喜欢AJ
not bad actually，女二有点像Olivia Colman
很多欢乐在里面呀，很多色彩，然后如果真的实现love is love了，我们完全没必要苦大仇深了~有的就是因为爱变滴美好~希望我们每个人都变成一条吐着粉红色爱心泡泡的金鱼，看着喜欢的人，日日夜夜合不上眼~
前几日看到近日流行的顺直女千赞发言：“真羡慕你们女通讯录啊，要是可以我也想不爱男的，谁不想和美女贴贴呢？”
AJ is way hotter than her sister
看到如今的欧美青春校园片都开始沉溺于LGBT，我整个无语。难道这是怕不沾点儿政治过不了审？（笑
w/ Dan. 就还行吧... 画面声优不错 但整体故事线好无聊... ai换成魔法/精灵也差不多.. 以及人形电脑天使心不是20年前的概念嘛
校长、小情侣、占星女、教练、妈妈……这些配角都好可爱啊
two mins Cassie&Izzie track kiss top this whole movie
THE lgbt teen romcom I’ve been waited for!
一个群体开始有无脑日常甜片，说明日子真的好起来了。姐妹俩各有各的美，肉肉的健壮的形象也好难得。
可爱但也没那么无聊 女主真的是越看越有魅力的类型 AJ很好 但我更爱Gabby🥺 剧情过于美式 结局也过于idealistic 不过98分钟的fantasy对我来说已经很好啦
I’m queer+ I like puns+ no lesbian died + happy ending. What’s not to like???????
周末了 吃点无脑糖水 又是一开头就猜到结尾系列
